Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that, An American roulette wheel contains 18red numbers, 18black numbers, and 2green numbers. The following table shows the frequency with which the ball landed on each color in 200trials.

We need to obtain a relative-frequency distribution.

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

The relative frequency can be calculated using the formula,

Relative Frequency =FrequencyNumber of Observations

In the table below, the frequency distribution is presented.

NUMBER
Frequency
Relative Frequency

Red

88
88200=0.44

Black

102
102200=0.51

Green

10
10200=0.05

Total

200
1

Therefore, the relative frequency distribution of the given data sets is shown in the above table.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that, An American roulette wheel contains 18red numbers,18black numbers, and 2green numbers. The following table shows the frequency with which the ball landed on each color in 200trials.

We need to draw a Pie chart.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

MINITAB has been used to create the pie chart.

The portion for each class in a pie chart is calculated by multiplying 3600by the corresponding relative frequencies.

The steps of drawing a pie chart are as follows:

  • Choose Graph >Pie Chart.
  • Select Chart values from table.
  • Choose NUMBERunder Categorical variable.
  • Select Frequency under Summary variables.
  • Select Labels and choose Slide Labels tab.
  • Check Category name and Percent under Label pie slices with.
  • Click OK

Below figure shows the pie chart for the supplied data set.

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

Given in the question that, An American roulette wheel contains 18red numbers,18black numbers, and 2green numbers. The following table shows the frequency with which the ball landed on each color in 200trials.

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

MINITAB has been used to create the bar chart.

The steps to making a bar chart are as follows:

  • Choose Graph > Bar Chart.
  • From Bars represent, choose Values from a table.
  • Choose Simple, and click OK.
  • In Categorical variables, enter one column of FREQUENCY.
  • Choose Chart options
  • Select Show Y as Percent.
  • Click OK

The bar chart of the given data set is shown in figure below

For quantitative data, we examined three types of grouping: single-value grouping, limit grouping, and cut point grouping. For each type of data given, decide which of these three grouping types is usually best, Explain your answers.

a. Continuous data displayed to one or more decimal places

b. Discrete data in which there are relatively few distinct observations

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.

PCBs and Pelicans. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial pollutants, are known to be carcinogens and a great danger to natural ecosystems. As a result of several studies, PCB production was banned in the United States in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. One study, published in 1972 by R. W. Risebrough, is titled "Effects of Environmental Pollutants Upon Animals Other Than Man" (Proceedings of the 6ed Berkeley Symposium on Mathematics and Statistics, VI, University of California Press, pp. 443-463). In that study, 60 Anacapa pelican eggs were collected and measured for their shell thickness, in millimeters (mm), and concentration of PCBs, in parts per million (ppm). Following is a relative-frequency histogram of the PCB concentration data.
