Chapter 3, Problem 8CRP
Agriculture: Harvest Weight of Maize The following data represent weights in kilograms of maize harvest from a random sample of 72 experimental plots on St. Vincent, an island in the Caribbean (Reference: B. G. F. Springer, Proceedings, Caribbean Food Corps. Soc., Vol. 10, pp. 147–152). Note: These data are also available for download at the Companion Sites for this text. For convenience, the data are presented in increasing order.
- (a) Compute the five-number summary.
- (b) Compute the
interquartile range . - (c) Make a box-and-whisker plot.
- (d) Interpretation Discuss the distribution. Does the lower half of the distribution show more data spread than the upper half?

1. (Prob. 11-12, p. 438) An article in the Journal of Environmental Engineering (1989, Vol. 115(3), pp.
608–619) reported the results of a study on the occurrence of sodium and chloride in surface
streams in central Rhode Island. The following data are chloride concentration y (in milligrams per
liter) and roadway area in the watershed x (in percentage).

a.
Draw a scatter diagram of the data. Does a simple linear regression model seem appropriate
here?
b. Fit the simple linear regression model using the method of least squares. Find an estimate of
o?.
C.
Estimate the mean chloride concentration for a watershed that has 1% roadway area.
d. Find the fitted value corresponding to x = 0.47 and the associated residual.
The data shown below represent the repair cost for a low-impact collision in a simple random sample of mini- and micro-vehicles (such as the Chevrolet Aveo or Mini Cooper). Complete parts (a) through (c).
Q. 3 We are given the following data for a city:
Population of the city on March 30, 2020 = 183,000
Number of new active cases of TB occurring between January 1 and
June 30, 2020 26
Number of active TB cases according to the city register on January 1,
2020 = 264
Find the
() Cumulative incidence of active cases of TB for the 6-month period;
(ii) Prevalence of active TB as of June 30, 2020.
Q. 4 Investigators enrolled 100 diabetics without eye disease in a follow-up
study. The results of the first 3 years were as follows:
Year 1:0 cases of eye disease detected out of 92; 8 lost to follow-up
Year 2: 2 new cases of eye disease detected out of 80; 2 had died; 10 lost to
follow-up
Year 3: 3 new cases of eye disease detected out of 63; 2 more had died; 13
more lost to follow-up.
Find the person-time incidence rate.
