Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Answer to Problem 22E

Right skewed.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

  PRACTICE OF STATISTICS F/AP EXAM, Chapter 2.1, Problem 22E

Based on the given dot plot it is clearly seen that the shape of the given distribution is positively skewed or right skewed. As it seems the tail of the distribution is towards the right side. Also the value of mean is higher than the median which also shows the same because Mean is greater than median when the data is right skewed.

(b)

To determine

To identify the mean and median of the distribution of distance.

Answer to Problem 22E

Mean = 67 inch.

Median = 66 inch.

Explanation of Solution

Based on the given statistics about the distance data, the mean is equal to 67 inch and the median is equal to 66 inch.

(c)

To determine

To identify the standard deviation and the interquartile range of the given distribution.

(c)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 22E

Standard deviation = 4.29

Interquartile range = 7

Explanation of Solution

Based on the given statistics about the data the standard deviation is 4.29 inch. and the Interquartile range is the difference between the third and the first quartile of the data. Here first quartile is 63 and third quartile is 70. Therefore, interquartile range = 70 − 63 = 7.
