Identify each quantitative variable as discrete or continuous.

Amount of time it takes to assemble an equipment one.

A manufacturer of jeans has plants in California, Arizona, and Texas. A 2
group of 25 pairs of jeans is randomly selected from the computerized
database, and the state in which each is produced is recorded:
CA AZ AZ TX CA
CA CA TX TX TX
AZ AZ CA AZ TX
CA AZ TX TX TX
CA AZ AZ CA CA

What is the experimental unit?

What is the variable being measured? Is it qualitative or quantitative?
Construct a pie chart to describe the data.
Construct a bar chart to describe the data.
What proportion of the jeans are made in Texas?
What state produced the most jeans in the group?
If you want to find out whether the three plants produced equal numbers of
jeans, or whether one produced more jeans than the others, how can you use
the charts from parts c and d to help you? What conclusions can you draw
from these data?
Results of the 1997 RACI titration competition. The values are independent
students results for the concentration of a solution of acetic acid (units: M).

Comment about the accuracy and precision of these results

Many nutritional experts have expressed concern about the high levels of
sodium in prepared foods. The following data on sodium content (in
milligrams) per frozen meal appeared in the article Comparison of Light
Frozen Meals (Boston Globe, April 24, 1991):
720 530 800 690 880 1050 340 810 760
300 400 680 780 390 950 520 500 630
480 940 450 990 910 420 850 390 600
Two histograms for these data are shown:
Do the two histograms give different impressions about the distribution of
values?
Use each histogram to determine approximately the proportion of
4
observations that are less than 800, and compare to the actual proportion.

Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are harmful atmospheric pollutants produced largely 5

by vehicle engines. Their concentration is monitored in large cities. This
experiment attempts to tell whether concentrations measured at face level
are higher than those measured with a monitor at a height of 5m (where it is

safe from vandalism). One-hour average concentrations were measured

every hour for a day at a particular location, with the results shown in units
of parts per billion by volume (i.e., mole ratio).
What graphic or graphics will be more suitable to compare this data?

The calcium (Ca) content of a powdered mineral substance was analyzed 10 7
times with the following percent compositions recorded:

Draw a dotplot to describe the data. (HINT: The scale of the horizontal axis
should range from .0260 to .0290.)
Draw a stem and leaf plot for the data. Use the numbers in the hundredths
and thousandths places as the stem.
Are any of the measurements inconsistent with the other measurements,
indicating that the technician may have made an error in the analysis?
The red blood cell count of a healthy person was measured on each of 15
days. The number recorded is measured in 106 cells per microliter (L).

8
Use an appropriate graph to describe the data.
Describe the shape and location of the red blood cell counts.
If the persons red blood cell count is measured today as 5.7106 L, would
you consider this unusual? What conclusions might you draw?

have evidence of outliers in the data?
A certain polymer is used for evacuation systems for aircraft. It is important
that the polymer be resistant to the aging process. Twenty specimens of the
polymer were used in an experiment. Ten were assigned randomly to be
exposed to an accelerated batch aging process that involved exposure to
high temperaturas for 10 days. Measurements of tensile strength of the
specimens were made, and the following data were recorded on tensile
strength in psi:
No aging: 227 222 218 217 225
218 216 229 228 221
Aging: 219 214 215 211 209

(a) Do a dot plot of the data.
(b) From your plot, does it appear as if the aging process has had an effect
on the tensile strength of this polymer? Explain.
(c) Calculate the sample mean tensile strength of the two samples.
(d) Calculate the median for both. Discuss the similarity or lack of similarity
between the mean and median of each group.
The tensile strength of silicone rubber is thought to be a function of curing 12

strength values.
