Chapter 6: Q.6.124 (page 283)

We have provided a normal probability plot of data from a sample of a population. In each case, assess the normality of the variable under consideration.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The plot does not have a nearly normal distribution.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Consider the probability of the normalcy plot.

02

Explanation

The data is not distributed along a straight line, as evidenced by the given normality probability plot. As a result, the plot does not appear to be roughly normal.

The National Center for Health Statistics publishes information about birth rates (per 1000 population) in the document National Vital Statistics Report. The following table provides a frequency distribution for birth rates during one year for the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

a. Obtain a frequency histogram of these birth-rate data.

b. Based on your histogram, do you think that birth rates for the 50states and the District of Columbia are approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer.

Obtain the z-score that has an area0.70 to its right.

Explain why the percentage of all possible observations of a normally distributed variable that lie within two standard deviations to either side of the mean equals the area under the standard normal curve between -2and2.

Use Table to obtain the areas under the standard normal curve. Sketch a standard normal curve and shade the area of interest in each problem.

Find the area under the standard normal curve that lies

a. either to the left of -2.12or to the right of 1.67.

b. either to the left of 0.63or to the right of 1.54.

In the article "Material Culture as Memory: Combs and Cremations in Early Medieval Britain" (Early Medieval Europe, Vol. 12, Issue 2, pp. 89-128). H. Williams discussed the frequency of cremation burials found in 17 archaeological sites in eastern England. Here are the data.
