Problem

The stem lengths of a sample of 120120 tulips are recorded in the grouped frequency table below.

Stem length (cm)Frequency40x<421242x<451845x<502350x<553555x<582458x<608\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Stem length (cm)}&\text{Frequency}\\ \hline 40\leqslant x<42&12\\ 42\leqslant x<45&18\\ 45\leqslant x<50&23\\ 50\leqslant x<55&35\\ 55\leqslant x<58&24\\ 58\leqslant x<60&8 \end{array}

A histogram is drawn to represent these data. The area of the bar representing the 40x<4240\leqslant x<42 class is 16.5 cm216.5\text{ cm}^2

(a) Calculate the exact area of the bar representing the 42x<4542\leqslant x<45 class.

(2)

The height of the tallest bar in the histogram is 1010 cm.

(b) Find the exact height of the second tallest bar.

(3)

Q1Q_1 for these data is 4545 cm.

(c) Use linear interpolation to find an estimate for

(i) Q2Q_2

(ii) the interquartile range.

(4)

One measure of skewness is given by

Q32Q2+Q1Q3Q1\frac{Q_3-2Q_2+Q_1}{Q_3-Q_1}

(d) By calculating this measure, describe the skewness of these data.

(2)

解答

(a)

解法一

思路

展开

同一张 histogram 中,bar area 与 frequency 成正比。已知 1212 个对应面积 16.516.5,所以 1818 个对应面积按比例放大。

答题过程

展开 area=16.51812=24.75.\begin{align*} \text{area} =&\,16.5\cdot\frac{18}{12}\\[3mm] =&\,24.75. \end{align*}

The exact area is

24.75 cm2.\begin{align*} 24.75\text{ cm}^2. \end{align*}

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

最高的 bar 由最大 frequency density 决定。先比较 frequency density:5555-5858 组是 24/3=824/3=85050-5555 组是 35/5=735/5=7,所以第二高的 bar 对应 5050-5555 组。

答题过程

展开

The tallest bar has frequency density

243=8.\begin{align*} \frac{24}{3}=8. \end{align*}

The second tallest bar has frequency density

355=7.\begin{align*} \frac{35}{5}=7. \end{align*}

Since the tallest bar has height 1010 cm, the second tallest bar has height

1078=8.75 cm.\begin{align*} 10\cdot\frac{7}{8}=8.75\text{ cm}. \end{align*}

Q2Q_2 是第 6060 个数据。累计到 50505353,累计到 55558888,所以中位数在 5050-5555 组内。

答题过程

展开 Q2=50+605335(5550)=51.\begin{align*} Q_2 =&\,50+\frac{60-53}{35}(55-50)\\[3mm] =&\,51. \end{align*}

(c)(ii)

解法一

思路

展开

Q3Q_3 是第 9090 个数据。累计到 55558888,所以 Q3Q_35555-5858 组内。题目已给 Q1=45Q_1=45

答题过程

展开 Q3=55+908824(5855)=55.25.\begin{align*} Q_3 =&\,55+\frac{90-88}{24}(58-55)\\[3mm] =&\,55.25. \end{align*}

Therefore

IQR=55.2545=10.25.\begin{align*} \operatorname{IQR}=55.25-45=10.25. \end{align*}

(d)

解法一

思路

展开

Q1=45Q_1=45Q2=51Q_2=51Q3=55.25Q_3=55.25 代入 skewness 公式。结果为负表示 negative skew。

答题过程

展开 Q32Q2+Q1Q3Q1=55.252(51)+4555.2545=0.1707\begin{align*} \frac{Q_3-2Q_2+Q_1}{Q_3-Q_1} =&\,\frac{55.25-2(51)+45}{55.25-45}\\[3mm] =&\,-0.1707\ldots \end{align*}

Since the value is negative, the data are negatively skewed.
