Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 20E
Consider the viscosity data in Exercise 3.10. Assume that reading down, (hen across, gives the data in lime order. Construct and interpret a time-series plot.
An article in Quality Engineering (Vol. 4, 1992, pp. 487-495) presents viscosity data from a batch chemical process. A sample of these data is presented in Table 3E.3 (read down, then across).
- (a) Construct a stem-and-leaf display for the viscosity data.
- (b) Construct a frequency distribution and histogram.
- (c) Convert the stem-and-leaf plot in part (a) into an ordered stem-and-leaf plot. Use this graph to assist in locating the median and the upper and lower quartiles of the viscosity data.
- (d) What are the tenth and ninetieth percentiles of viscosity?
