Chapter 1: Q 37. (page 28)

Marginal totals aren’t the whole storyHere are the row and column totals for a two-way table with two rows and two columns:

Find two different sets of counts a, b, c, and dfor the body of the table that give these same totals. This shows that the relationship between two variables cannot be obtained from the two individual distributions of the variables.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a=30,b=20,c=30,d=20a=40,b=10,c=20,d=30

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

The given table is:

02

Step 2. For the body of the table, find two different sets of counts a, b, c, and d that provide the same totals.

We can see that the rows' total of the table is 50 and its column total are 60 and 40 respectively.

it means we need to satisfy the following equations:

a+b=50,c+d=50a+c=60,b+d=40

one set of possible values of terms a, b, c,and dare a=30,b=20,c=30,d=20

Another set is:

a=40,b=10,c=20,d=30

I’d die without my phone! In a survey of over 2000 U.S. teenagers by Harris Interactive, 47% said that “their social life would end or be worsened without their cell phone.” 46 One survey question asked the teens how important it is for their phone to have certain features. The following figure displays data on the percent who indicated Page Number: 83 Page Number: 84 that a particular feature is vital.

Part (a). Explain how the graph gives a misleading impression.

Part (b). Would it be appropriate to make a pie chart to display these data? Why or why not?

Easy reading? Refer to Exercise 46. Describe the shape of the distribution.

. Which of the following is the best reason for choosing a stemplot rather than a histogram to display the distribution of a quantitative variable?

a. Stemplots allow you to split stems; histograms don’t.

b. Stemplots allow you to see the values of individual observations.

c. Stemplots are better for displaying very large sets of data.

d. Stemplots never require rounding of values.

e. Stemplots make it easier to determine the shape of a distribution.

Coaster craze Many people like to ride roller coasters. Amusement parks try to increase attendance by building exciting new coasters. The following table displays data on several roller coasters that were opened in a recent year.

(a) Identify the individuals in this data set.

(b) What are the variables? Classify each as categorical or quantitative.

Women and children first? Here’s another table that summarizes data on survival status by gender and class of travel on the Titanic:

(a) Find the distributions of survival status for males and for females within each class of travel. Did women survive the disaster at higher rates than men? Explain.

(b) In an earlier example, we noted that survival status is associated with class of travel. First-class passengers had the highest survival rate, while third-class passengers had the lowest survival rate. Does this same relationship hold for both males and females in all three classes of travel? Explain.
