Chapter 2: Q61E (page 103)

Using only integers between 0 and 10, construct two data sets with at least 10 observations each that have the same range but different means. Construct a dot plot for each of your data sets, and mark the mean of each data set on its dot diagram.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Set A: 1, 4, 3, 2, 0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 0

Set B: 7, 5, 6, 8, 5, 8, 6, 6, 4, 5


2.

Step by step solution

01

Creating 2 data sets only by using integers between 0 and 10

Set A: 1, 4, 3, 2, 0, 2, 2, 3, 3, 0

Range = 4 – 0 = 4

Mean = 2

Set B: 7, 5, 6, 8, 5, 8, 6, 6, 4, 5

Range = 8 – 4 = 4

Mean = 6

02

Constructing a dot plot for Set A


03

Creating a dot plot for Set B

Ranking driving performance of professional golfers.A group of researchers developed a new method forranking the total driving performance of golfers on theProfessional Golf Association (PGA) tour (The Sport Journal,Winter 2007). The method requires knowinga golfer’s average driving distance (yards) and drivingaccuracy (percent of drives that land in the fairway).The values of these two variables are used to compute adriving performance index. Data for 40 PGA golfers (asranked by the new method for a recent tour year) aresaved in the accompanying file. The first five and last fiveobservations are listed in the table below.

a.Find the mean, median, and mode for the 40 driving performance index values.

b.Interpret each of the measures of central tendency, part a.

c.Use the results, part a,to make a statement about the type of skewness in the distribution of driving performance indexes. Support your statement with a graph.

Parking at a university has become a problem. The university’s administrators are interested in determining the average time it takes a student to find a parking spot. An administrator inconspicuously followed 190 students and recorded how long it took each of them to find a parking spot. The durations had a distribution that was skewed to the left. Based on this information, discuss the relationship between the mean and the median for the 190 times collected.

Compute xbar, s2, and sfor each of the following data sets. If appropriate, specify the units in which your answer is expressed.

a.3, 1, 10, 10, 4

b.8 feet, 10 feet, 32 feet, 5 feet

c.-1, -4, -3, 1, -4, -4

d.1/5 ounce, 1/5 ounce, 1/5 ounce, 2/5 ounce, 1/5 ounce, 4/5 ounce

Ranking driving performance of professional golfers.Refer to The Sport Journal(Winter 2007) analysis of anew method for ranking the total driving performance ofgolfers on the PGA tour, Exercise 2.52 (p. 97). Recall thatthe method uses both the average driving distance (yards)and driving accuracy (percent of drives that land in thefairway). Data on these two variables for the top 40 PGAgolfers are saved in the accompanying file. A professionalgolfer is practicing a new swing to increase his averagedriving distance. However, he is concerned that his drivingaccuracy will be lower. Is his concern a valid one? Explain.
