The Beatles. In the article, "Length of The Beatles' Songs" (Chance, Vol. 25, No. 1, pp. 30-33), T. Koyama discusses aspects and interpretations of the lengths of songs by The Beatles. Data on the length, in seconds, of 229 Beatles' songs are presented on the WeissStats site. Use the technology of your choice to

a. obtain frequency and relative-frequency distributions.

b. get and interpret a frequency histogram or a relative-frequency histogram.

c. construct a dotplot.

d. Compare your graphs from parts (b) and (c).

Short Answer

Expert verified

a)Under explanation, the frequency and relative frequency distributions are shown.

b)Underneath the explanation is a frequency histogram.

Step by step solution

01

Part a Step 1 Given Information

We have to obtain frequency and relative-frequency distributions

02

Part a Step 2 Explanation

The frequency of single-valued grouping is depicted in the graph below.

The relative frequency distribution is given below

03

Part b Step 1 Given Information

We have to get and interpret a frequency histogram or a relative-frequency histogram.

04

Part b Step 2 Explanation

The height of the bar in the frequency histogram is equal to the frequency, as seen below.

Stressed-Out Bus Drivers. Frustrated passengers, congested streets, time schedules, and air and noise pollution are just some of the physical and social pressures that lead many urban bus drivers to retire prematurely with disabilities such as coronary heart disease and stomach disorders. An intervention program designed by the Stockholm Transit District was implemented to improve the work conditions of the city's bus drivers. Improvements were evaluated by G. Evans et al., who collected physiological and psychological data for bus drivers who drove on the improved routes (intervention) and for drivers who were assigned the normal routes (control). Their findings were published in the article "Hassles on the Job: A Study of a Job Intervention With Urban Bus Drivers" (Journal of Organizational Behavior, Vol.20,pp.199-208). Following are data, based on the results of the study, for the heart rates, in beats per minute, of the intervention and control drivers.

Construct a dot plot for the given data.

Of the variables you have studied so far, which type yields non numerical data ?

Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram for the data, using one line per stem.

M&Ms. In the article "Sweetening Statistics-What M&M's Can Teach Us" (Minitab Inc., August 2008), M. Paret and E. Martz discussed several statistical analyses that they performed on bags of M&Ms. The authors took a random sample of 30small bags of peanut M&Ms and obtained the following weights, in grams (g). Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram for these weights.
