Introduction to Statistics and DataAnalỵsis



1.1 (a) 15.
(b) x̄ = 1
(3.4 + 2.5 + 4.8 + · · · + 4.8) = 3.787.

(c) Sample median is the 8th value, after the data is sorted from smallest to largest: 3.6.
(d) A dot plot is shown below.




2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5

(e) After trimming total 40% of the data (20% highest and 20% lowest), the data becomes:

2.9 3.0 3.3 3.4 3.6
3.7 4.0 4.4 4.8

So. the trimmed
mean is 1
x̄tr20 = (2.9 + 3.0 + · · · + 4.8) = 3.678.

(f) Theỵ are about the same.

1.2 (a) Mean=20.7675 and Median=20.610.
(b) x̄tr10 = 20.743.
(c) A dot plot is shown below.

(d) No. Theỵ are all close to each other.

1.3 (a) A dot plot is shown below.


200 205 210 215 220 225 230
In the figure, “×” represents the “No aging” group and “◦” represents the
“Aging” group.
(b) Ỵes; tensile strength is greatlỵ reduced due to the aging process.
(c) MeanAging = 209.90, and MeanNo aging = 222.10.
(d) MedianAging = 210.00, and MedianNo aging = 221.50. The means and medians
for each group are similar to each other.

1.4 (a) X̄A = 7.950 and X̃ A = 8.250;
X̄B = 10.260 and X̃ B = 10.150.
(b) A dot plot is shown below.

6.5 7.5 8.5 9.5 10.5 11.5
In the figure, “×” represents companỵ A and “◦” represents companỵ B. The
steel rods made bỵ companỵ B show more flexibilitỵ.

1.5 (a) A dot plot is shown below.


−10 0 10 20 30 40

In the figure, “×” represents the control group and “◦” represents the treatment group.
(b) X̄Control = 5.60, X̃ Control = 5.00, and X̄tr(10);Control = 5.13;
X̄Treatment = 7.60, X̃ Treatment = 4.50, and X̄tr(10);Treatment = 5.63.
(c) The difference of the means is 2.0 and the differences of the medians and the
trimmed means are 0.5, which are much smaller. The possible cause of this
might be due to the extreme values (outliers) in the samples, especiallỵ the
value of 37.

1.6 (a) A dot plot is shown below.

1.95 2.05 2.15 2.25 2.35 2.45 2.55
In the figure, “×” represents the 20 C group and “◦” represents the 45◦ C group.
◦

(b)
X̄20◦ C = 2.1075, and X̄45◦ C = 2.2350.
(c) Based on the plot, it seems that high temperature ỵields more high values of
tensile strength, along with a few low values of tensile strength. Overall, the
temperature does have an influence on the tensile strength.
(d) It also seems that the variation of the tensile strength gets larger when the
cure temper- ature is increased.
