Concept explainers

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

Profit and Loss

The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.

Units and Measurements

Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experime…

Textbook Question

Chapter 6.1, Problem 43E

Cloudiness in Breslau. In the paper “Cloudiness: Note on a Novel Case of Frequency” (Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Vol. 62, pp. 287–290), K. Pearson examined data on daily degree of cloudiness, on a scale of 0 to 10, at Breslau (Wroclaw), Poland, during the decade 1876–1885. A frequency distribution of the data is presented in the following table.

a. Draw a frequency histogram of these degree-of-cloudiness data.
b. Based on your histogram, do you think that degree of cloudiness in Breslau during the decade in question is approximately normally distributed? Explain your answer

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.

Cloudiness in Breslau. In the paper “Cloudiness: Note on a Novel Case of Frequency” (Proceedings of the Royal Society of London, Vol. 62), K. Pearson examined data on daily degree of cloudiness, on a scale of 0 to 10, at Breslau (Wroclaw), Poland, during the decade 1876–1885. A frequency distribution of the data is presented in the following table. From the table, we find that the mean degree of cloudiness is 6.83 with a standard deviation of 4.28. Degree Frequency Degree Frequency 0 751 6 21 1 179 7 71 2 107 8 194 3 69 9 117 4 46 10 2089 5 9 a. Consider simple random samples of 100 days during the decade in question. Approximately what percentage of such samples have a mean degree of cloudiness exceeding 7.5? b. Would it be reasonable to use a normal distribution to obtain the percentage required in part (a) for samples of size 5? Explain your answer.
