1.1 (a) 15.
(b) ¯x = 1
15 (3.4 + 2.5 + 4.8 + · · · + 4.8) = 3.787.
(c) Sample median is the 8th value, after the data is sorted from smallest to largest:
3.6.
(d) A dot plot is shown below.
2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5
(e) After trimming total 40% of the data (20% highest and 20% lowest), the data
becomes:
2.9 3.0 3.3 3.4 3.6
3.7 4.0 4.4 4.8
So. the trimmed mean is
¯xtr20 =
1
9
(2.9 + 3.0 + · · · + 4.8) = 3.678.
1.2 (a) Mean=20.768 and Median=20.610.
(b) ¯xtr10 = 20.743.
(c) A dot plot is shown below.

1.3 (a) A dot plot is shown below.
200 205 210 215 220 225 230
In the figure, “×” represents the “No aging” group and “◦” represents the “Aging”
group.
(b) Yes; tensile strength is greatly reduced due to the aging process.
(c) MeanAging = 209.90, and MeanNo aging = 222.10.
(d) MedianAging = 210.00, and MedianNo aging = 221.50. The means and medians for
each group are similar to each other.
1.4 (a) ¯XA = 7.950 and ˜XA = 8.250;
¯X
B = 10.260 and ˜XB = 10.150.
(b) A dot plot is shown below.
6.5 7.5 8.5 9.5 10.5 11.5
In the figure, “×” represents company A and “◦” represents company B. The
steel rods made by company B show more flexibility.
1.5 (a) A dot plot is shown below.
−10 0 10 20 30 40
In the figure, “×” represents the control group and “◦” represents the treatment
group.
(b) ¯XControl = 5.60, ˜XControl = 5.00, and ¯Xtr(10);Control = 5.13;
¯X
Treatment = 7.60, ˜XTreatment = 4.50, and ¯Xtr(10);Treatment = 5.63.
(c) The difference of the means is 2.0 and the differences of the medians and the
trimmed means are 0.5, which are much smaller. The possible cause of this might
be due to the extreme values (outliers) in the samples, especially the value of 37.
1.6 (a) A dot plot is shown below.
1.95 2.05 2.15 2.25 2.35 2.45 2.55
In the figure, “×” represents the 20◦C group and “◦” represents the 45◦C group.
(b) ¯X20◦C = 2.1075, and ¯X45◦C = 2.2350.
(c) Based on the plot, it seems that high temperature yields more high values of
tensile strength, along with a few low values of tensile strength. Overall, the
temperature does have an influence on the tensile strength.

(d) It also seems that the variation of the tensile strength gets larger when the cure
temperature is increased.
1.7 s2 = 1
15−1 [(3.4−3.787)2+(2.5−3.787)2+(4.8−3.787)2+· · ·+(4.8−3.787)2] = 0.94284;
s = √s2 = √0.9428 = 0.971.
1.8 s2 = 1
20−1 [(18.71 − 20.768)2 + (21.41 − 20.768)2 + · · · + (21.12 − 20.768)2] = 2.5345;
s = √2.5345 = 1.592.

No Aging = 1
10−1 [(227 − 222.10)2 + (222 − 222.10)2 + · · · + (221 − 222.10)2] = 42.12;
sNo Aging = √42.12 = 6.49.

Aging = 1
10−1 [(219 − 209.90)2 + (214 − 209.90)2 + · · · + (205 − 209.90)2] = 23.62;
sAging = √23.62 = 4.86.
1.10 For company A: s2
A = 1.2078 and sA = √1.2078 = 1.099.
For company B: s2
B = 0.3249 and sB = √0.3249 = 0.570.
1.11 For the control group: s2
Control = 69.39 and sControl = 8.33.
For the treatment group: s2
Treatment = 128.14 and sTreatment = 11.32.
1.12 For the cure temperature at 20◦C: s2
20◦C = 0.005 and s20◦C = 0.071.
For the cure temperature at 45◦C: s2
45◦C = 0.0413 and s45◦C = 0.2032.
The variation of the tensile strength is influenced by the increase of cure temperature.
1.13 (a) Mean = ¯X = 124.3 and median = ˜X = 120;
(b) 175 is an extreme observation.
1.14 (a) Mean = ¯X = 570.5 and median = ˜X = 571;
(b) Variance = s2 = 10; standard deviation= s = 3.162; range=10;
(c) Variation of the diameters seems too big.
1.15 Yes. The value 0.03125 is actually a P-value and a small value of this quantity means
that the outcome (i.e., HHHHH) is very unlikely to happen with a fair coin.
1.16 The term on the left side can be manipulated to
Xn

xi − n¯x =
Xn

xi −

i=1
xi = 0,
which is the term on the right side.
