4 Complete the SLTR worksheet page : 1-4, 9-11 #10 use list FLIES and only do a Normal probability plot Chapter 2 Review Exercises ANSWERS IN BACK OF TEXTBOOK Oct 10-10:50 AM Key The distribution of St. Louis total runs is NOT symmetric. It is skewed to the right. It is NOT normally distributed. Feb 6-12:38 PM 4

5 _ x = 5.97 S x = 3.13 n = Feb 6-12:33 PM too 0.76 high perfect 1.00 almost perfect First st dev off but in general pretty close IQR s = 8-3 = This value is too high, meaning that the middle 50% of data spreads out too many standard deviations to be considered normally distributed. Feb 6-12:32 PM 5

6 There is slight arcing on this normal probability plot of the St Louis total runs, the plot is not a straight line but it is not terrible. The data set can be determined to be slightly right skewed using the "line analysis" because it falls away "right" of the red line. Sep 28-8:59 AM This data set should not be considered Normally Distributed. None of the methods provide an analysis that shows the data to be normally distributed. Method 2 show the 2nd and 3rd standard deviations to be perfect but the 1st standard deviation is too large. The data is skewed but not as severely as some of the data we have analyzed.

25 Sep 22-3:44 PM great white sharks is roughly symmetric. It is roughly bell shaped. It appears to be very roughly normal. Oct 4-9:17 AM 25

26 _ x = S x = 2.55 n = perfect ALMOST PERFECT Feb 6-12:33 PM perfect 1.00 almost perfect IQR s = 2.55 = 1.43 This value is very close to 1.34, meaning that the middle 50% of data spreads out almost exactly the number of standard deviations required to be considered normally distributed. Feb 6-12:32 PM 26

27 The normal probability plot shows no major deviations from linear (a straight line). The data set can be considered to be normally distributed. Sep 28-8:59 AM This data set should be considered Normally Distributed. All four of the methods provide an analysis that show that original data to be normally distributed. It is not a perfect match but the only concern is the outlier at the top of the data set. Feb 6-12:36 PM 27

28 OPTIONAL: extra MC practice page : 1-10 Oct 10-10:50 AM T2.1. Many professional schools require applicants to take a standardized test. Suppose that 1000 students take such a test. Several weeks after the test, Pete receives his score Mar 3-3:45 PM 28
