And in 1990, NC-17 replaced the X rating. Here is a summary of the ratings assigned to movies between 1968 and 2000: 8% rated G, 24% rated PG, 10% rated PG-13, 55% rated R, and 3% rated NC-17.48 Make an appropriate graph for displaying these data.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Given:

Ratings assigned to movies between 1968 and 2000.

02

Draw the graph of given data

The information is shown as a percentage. As is well known, pie charts are the most effective graph for representing data in percentages. As a result, build the pie chart using MINITAB as shown below.

To begin, enter all of the data into MINITAB. The following is a screenshot:

Select the pie chart option from the dropdown menu after clicking on the Graph menu. A new dialogue box will appear after that. Select the option of charting data from a table first, then the type of ratings in categorical variables, and finally the percentage in the variable summary. The following is a screenshot:

Then select the Labels option. After that, a new dialogue box will appear. Choose the category name and percentage option after clicking on the slice labels tab. The screenshot is as follows:

Now, finally click on OK button to return to the older dialog box and then click on OK button of it too to have the required pie chart. The graph is given as below.

Phosphate levels The level of various substances in the blood influences our health. Here are measurements of the level of phosphate in the blood of a patient, in milligrams of phosphate per deciliter of blood, made on 6 consecutive visits to a clinic: 5.6, 5.2, 4.6, 4.9, 5.7, 6.4. A graph of only 6 observations gives little information, so we proceed to compute the mean and standard deviation. (a) Find the standard deviation from its definition. That is, find the deviations of each observation from the mean, square the deviations, then obtain the variance and the standard deviation. (b) Interpret the value of sx you obtained in (a)
