We have drawn a smooth curve that represents a distribution,

a. Identify the shape of the distirbution with regard to modality.

b. Identify the shape of the distribution with regard to symmetry (or non symmetry)

c . If the distribution is unimodal and non symmetric, classify it as either right skewed or left skewed.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The shape of the graph is unimodal

(b) The shape of the graph is symmetric

(c) The skewness of the graph is cannot be determined.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1 : Given Information

The given graph is:


we have to Identify the shape of the distirbution with regard to modality.

02

Part (a) Step 2 : Explanation

A unimodal distribution is defined by a single distinct peak or most frequent value. After reaching a single peak, the numbers rise, then decline. In the graph, there is only one peak. As a result, the distribution's form is unimodal in terms of modality.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

The given graph is


we have to Identify the shape of the distribution with regard to symmetry (or non symmetry)

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

When a distribution's shape is broken into two sections, one of them is the mirror image of the other, the distribution is said to be symmetric. The provided graph can be split into two equal halves, one of which is the inverse of the other.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given Information

The given graph is:

We have to classify as either right skewed or left skewed If the distribution is unimodal and non symmetric.

06

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation

The distribution is symmetric and unimodal.

As a result, the graph's skewness cannot be established.

Sample distribution.

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.

What is the relationship between a frequency or relative frequency distribution of a quantitative data set and that of a qualitative data set?

Sickle Cell Disease. A study published by E. Anionwu et al. in the British Medical Journal (Vol, 282, pp .283-286) measured the steady-state hemoglobin levels of patients with three different types of sickle cell disease. Following is a stem-and-leaf diagram of the data.

Process Capability. R. Morris and E. Watson studied various aspects of process capability in the paper "Determining Process Capability in a Chemical Batch Process" (Quality Engineering, Vol. 10(2), pp. 389-396). In one part of the study, the researchers compared the variability in product of a particular piece of equipment to a known analytic capability to decide whether product consistency could be improved. The following data were obtained for 10 batches of product.

Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram for these data with

a. one line per stem.

b. two lines per stem.

c. Which stem-and-leaf diagram do you find more useful? Why?
