题目

Problem

As part of an investigation, Bobby collects a sample of 4747 observations, xx. The results are shown in the following stem and leaf diagram, where aa is a constant.

(a) Find the range of these observations.

(1)

(b) Find the value of the median of these observations.

(1)

Given that the interquartile range of these observations is 0.310.31

(c) find the value of aa

(3)

Bobby calculates the following statistics from these observations

x=23.72,x2=13.4228.\sum x=23.72,\qquad \sum x^2=13.4228.

(d) Show that the standard deviation of these observations is 0.1760.176 to 33 significant figures.

(2)

Bobby now collects 1818 more observations, yy, from the same investigation.

(e) Using all 6565 observations, the sample mean is 0.5020.502 and the sample standard deviation is 0.2040.204

(i) Show that y=8.91\sum y=8.91

(2)

(ii) Showing your working, calculate y2\sum y^2

从 stem-and-leaf 读出最小值是 0.210.21,最大值是 0.870.87,范围是最大值减最小值。

答题过程

展开 Range=0.870.21=0.66.\begin{align*} \text{Range} =&\,0.87-0.21\\[3mm] =&\,0.66. \end{align*}

一共有 4747 个数据,中位数位置是第 47+12=24\dfrac{47+1}{2}=24 个。累计到 stem 331515 个,stem 441111 个,所以第 2424 个在 stem 44 这一行,是 0.480.48

答题过程

展开

The median is the

47+12=24th\begin{align*} \frac{47+1}{2}=24\text{th} \end{align*}

observation.

The 2424th observation is

0.48.\begin{align*} 0.48. \end{align*}

(c)

解法一

思路

展开

下四分位数位置是第 1212 个,所以 Q1=0.35Q_1=0.35。题目给 IQR=0.31IQR=0.31,所以

Q3=0.35+0.31=0.66.\begin{align*} Q_3=0.35+0.31=0.66. \end{align*}

上四分位数位置是第 3636 个。结合 stem-and-leaf,这个值是 0.6a0.6a,所以 a=6a=6

答题过程

展开

The lower quartile is the 1212th observation, so

Q1=0.35.\begin{align*} Q_1=0.35. \end{align*}

Since the interquartile range is 0.310.31,

Q3Q1=0.31Q30.35=0.31Q3=0.66.\begin{align*} Q_3-Q_1=&\,0.31\\[3mm] Q_3-0.35=&\,0.31\\[3mm] Q_3=&\,0.66. \end{align*}

The upper quartile is the 3636th observation. From the stem-and-leaf diagram, this is 0.6a0.6a.

Therefore

0.6a=0.66,\begin{align*} 0.6a=0.66, \end{align*}

so

a=6.\begin{align*} a=6. \end{align*}

(d)

思路

展开

用标准差公式

s=x2n(xn)2.\begin{align*} s=\sqrt{\frac{\sum x^2}{n}-\left(\frac{\sum x}{n}\right)^2}. \end{align*}

这里 n=47n=47

答题过程

展开 s=x2n(xn)2=13.422847(23.7247)2=0.2855910.254636=0.030955=0.1759.\begin{align*} s =&\,\sqrt{\frac{\sum x^2}{n}-\left(\frac{\sum x}{n}\right)^2}\\[3mm] =&\,\sqrt{\frac{13.4228}{47}-\left(\frac{23.72}{47}\right)^2}\\[3mm] =&\,\sqrt{0.285591\ldots-0.254636\ldots}\\[3mm] =&\,\sqrt{0.030955\ldots}\\[3mm] =&\,0.1759\ldots. \end{align*}

Therefore

s=0.176\begin{align*} s=0.176 \end{align*}

to 33 significant figures.

思路

展开

全部 6565 个数据的平均数是 0.5020.502,所以全部数据总和是 65×0.50265\times0.502。减去原来 4747xx 的总和,就得到新增 1818yy 的总和。

答题过程

展开

For all 6565 observations,

x+y=65(0.502).\begin{align*} \sum x+\sum y=65(0.502). \end{align*}

Using x=23.72\sum x=23.72,

y=65(0.502)23.72=32.6323.72=8.91.\begin{align*} \sum y =&\,65(0.502)-23.72\\[3mm] =&\,32.63-23.72\\[3mm] =&\,8.91. \end{align*}

(e)(ii)

解法一

思路

展开

对全部 6565 个数据使用

s2=x2+y265xˉ2.\begin{align*} s^2=\frac{\sum x^2+\sum y^2}{65}-\bar{x}^2. \end{align*}

这里整体标准差是 0.2040.204,整体平均数是 0.5020.502

答题过程

展开

For all 6565 observations,

s2=x2+y265xˉ2.\begin{align*} s^2=\frac{\sum x^2+\sum y^2}{65}-\bar{x}^2. \end{align*}

Substitute the given values:

(0.204)2=13.4228+y265(0.502)213.4228+y265=(0.204)2+(0.502)213.4228+y2=65((0.204)2+(0.502)2)y2=65((0.204)2+(0.502)2)13.4228=5.6625.\begin{align*} (0.204)^2 =&\,\frac{13.4228+\sum y^2}{65}-(0.502)^2\\[3mm] \frac{13.4228+\sum y^2}{65} =&\,(0.204)^2+(0.502)^2\\[3mm] 13.4228+\sum y^2 =&\,65\left((0.204)^2+(0.502)^2\right)\\[3mm] \sum y^2 =&\,65\left((0.204)^2+(0.502)^2\right)-13.4228\\[3mm] =&\,5.6625\ldots. \end{align*}

Therefore

y2=5.66\begin{align*} \sum y^2=5.66 \end{align*}

to 33 significant figures.
