Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

Given data:

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

MINITAB is used to generate the frequency distribution.

The following is the process for obtaining the frequency distribution:

  • Select Stat > Tables > Tally Individual Variables from the menu bar.
  • In Variables, insert the DATA column.
  • Select Counts from the Display menu.
  • Click OK

The output of MINITAB is displayed below.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

Given data:

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

MINITAB is used to obtain the relative frequency distribution, which has the following expression: The following is the process for obtaining the relative frequency distribution:

Relative Frequency=FrequencyNumberofobservations

  • Select Stat > Tables > Tally Individual Variables from the menu bar.
  • In Variables, insert the DATA column.
  • Look under Display for Percents.
  • Click OK

The output of MINITAB is displayed below.

Women in the Workforce. In an issue of Science (Vol. 308, No. 5721 , p. 483), D. Normile reported on a study from the Japan Statistics Bureau of the30industrialized countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) titled "Japan Mulls Workforce Goals for Women." Following are the percentages of women in scientific workforces for a sample of 17countries. Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram for these percentages.

Forearm Length. In 1903, K. Pearson and A. Lee published the paper "On the Laws of Inheritance in Man. I. Inheritance of Physical Characters" (Biometrika, Vol. 2, pp. 357-462). The article examined and presented data on forearm length, in inches, for a sample of 140 men, which we present on the Weiss Stats site.
