Problem
The stem and leaf diagram shows the number of deliveries made by Pat each day for 24 days
Stem and leaf diagram
where a, b and c are positive integers with a<b<c
An outlier is defined as any value greater than 1.5× interquartile range above the upper quartile.
Given that there is only one outlier for these data,
(a) show that c=9
(3)
The number of deliveries made by Pat each day is represented by d
The data in the stem and leaf diagram are coded using
x=d−125
and the following summary statistics are obtained
∑x=−96and∑(x−xˉ)2=1306
(b) Find the mean number of deliveries.
(3)
(c) Find the standard deviation of the number of deliveries.
(2)
One of these 24 days is selected at random. The random variable D represents the number of deliveries made by Pat on this day.
The random variable X=D−125
(d) Find P(D>118∣X<0)
(2)

从有序数据读出 Q1=116,Q3=125。按题意,上界是 Q3+1.5IQR。只有一个 outlier,说明只有 139 超过上界,因此 c 必须是 9。

From the stem and leaf diagram,
Q1=116,Q3=125.
So
IQR=125−116=9.
The outlier boundary is
125+1.5(9)=138.5.
Since there is only one outlier, the only value greater than 138.5 is 139.
Therefore the largest leaf in the 13 stem must be 9, so
c=9.

xˉ=24∑x,且 d=x+125,所以 dˉ=xˉ+125。

xˉ=24−96=−4.
Since d=x+125,
dˉ=−4+125=121.
The mean number of deliveries is
121.

加上 125 不改变 standard deviation,所以 d 的 standard deviation 与 x 相同。

σd===σx2413067.376…
So the standard deviation is
7.38.

X<0 等价于 D<125。在这些天中,再要求 D>118,就是 118<D<125。
答题过程
展开
Since X=D−125,
X<0⟺D<125.
From the stem and leaf diagram,
P(D>118∣X<0)=number with D<125number with 118<D<125.
There are 5 values with 118<D<125, and 14 values with D<125.
Therefore
P(D>118∣X<0)=145.
