Chapter 2: Q. 2.121 (page 75)

In the special report "Mousetrap: The Most-Visited Shoe and Apparel E-tailers" (Footwear News, Vol. 58 , No. 3, p. 18), we found the following data on the average time, in minutes, spent per user per month from January to June of one year for a sample of 15shoe and apparel retail websites.

The following Minitab output shows a stem-and-leaf diagram for these data. The second column gives the stems, and the third column gives the leaves.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Since the stem and lead diagram contains 5and not 6. This means the truncation was used.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information 

A following Minitab output shows a stem-and-leaf diagram for these data. The second column gives the stems, and the third column gives the leaves.

02

Explanation 

The supplied stem and leaf diagram display has 105on the first line.

This indicates that there is a single observation in the line between stem 0and leaf 5, implying that the smallest value in the stem and leaf diagram is 05or simply 5.

The set's smallest data value is 5.8. Rounding 5.8to the nearest integer resulted in 6, whereas truncation resulted in 5.

Stressed-Out Bus Drivers. Frustrated passengers, congested streets, time schedules, and air and noise pollution are just some of the physical and social pressures that lead many urban bus drivers to retire prematurely with disabilities such as coronary heart disease and stomach disorders. An intervention program designed by the Stockholm Transit District was implemented to improve the work conditions of the city's bus drivers. Improvements were evaluated by G. Evans et al., who collected physiological and psychological data for bus drivers who drove on the improved routes (intervention) and for drivers who were assigned the normal routes (control). Their findings were published in the article "Hassles on the Job: A Study of a Job Intervention With Urban Bus Drivers" (Journal of Organizational Behavior, Vol.20,pp.199-208). Following are data, based on the results of the study, for the heart rates, in beats per minute, of the intervention and control drivers.

Baltimore Ravens. From Player Roster, the official roster of the 2013 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, we obtained the heights, in inches, of the players on that team. A dot plot of those heights is as follows.

Some users of statistics prefer pie charts to bar charts because people are accustomed to having the horizontal axis of a graph show order. For example, someone "Republican" is less than "Other" because "Republican" is shown to the left of "Other" on the horizontal axis. Pie charts do not lead to such inferences. Give other advantages and disadvantages of each method.
