- The percentages of low birth weight infants in various countries around the world are contained in the data set unicef. The measurements themselves are saved under the variable name lowbwt. A numerical summary is given in the table below.
Percent of Low Birthweight Infants Min Q1 Median Q3 Max 4 7 10 15 50 - Construct a boxplot for the percentages of low birth weight infants.
- Do the data appear to be skewed? If so, are they skewed to the right or to the left?
- Do the data contain any outlying observations?
- In Massachusetts, eight individuals experienced an unexplained episode of vitamin D intoxication that required hospitalization; it was thought that these unusual occurrences might be the result of excessive supplementation of dairy milk. Blood levels of calcium and albumin-a type of protein-for each subject at the time of hospital admission are provided below.
Calcium (mmol/L) Albumin (g/L) 2.92 43 3.84 42 2.37 42 2.99 40 2.67 42 3.17 38 3.74 34 3.44 42 - Find the mean, median, standard deviation, and range of the recorded calcium levels.
- Compute the mean, median, standard deviation, and range of the given albumin levels.
- For healthy individuals, the normal range of calcium values is 2.12 to 2.74 mmol/L, while the range of albumin levels is 32 to 55 g/L. Do you believe that patients suffering from vitamin D intoxication have normal blood levels of calcium and albumin?
- A study was conducted comparing female adolescents who suffer from bulimia to healthy females with similar body compositions and levels of physical activity. Listed below are measures of daily caloric intake, recorded in kilocalories per kilogram, for samples of adolescents from each group.
Daily Caloric Intake (kcal/kg) Bulimic Healthy 15.9 18.9 25.1 20.7 30.6 16.0 19.6 25.2 22.4 33.2 16.5 21.5 25.6 23.1 33.7 17.0 21.6 28.0 23.8 36.6 17.6 22.9 28.7 24.5 37.1 18.1 23.6 29.2 25.3 37.4 18.4 24.1 30.9 25.7 40.8 18.9 24.5 30.6 - Find the median daily caloric intake for both the bulimic adolescents and the healthy ones.
- Compute the interquartile range for each group.
- Is a typical value of daily caloric intake larger for the individuals suffering from bulimia or for the healthy adolescents? Which group has a greater amount of variability in the measurements?
- Displayed below are a pair of frequency distributions containing serum cotinine levels for a group of cigarette smokers and a group of nonsmokers. These measurements were recorded as part of a study investigating various risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
Cotinine Level (ng/ml) Smokers Nonsmokers 0-13 78 3300 14-49 133 72 50-99 142 23 100-149 206 15 150-199 197 7 200-249 220 8 250-299 151 9 300+ 412 11 Total 1539 3445 - Compute the grouped mean and grouped standard deviation of the serum cotinine level measurements for both smokers and nonsmokers. For the last interval- 300+ ng/ml–consider the midpoint of the interval to be 340 ng/ml.
- In which interval does the median serum cotinine level fall for smokers? For nonsmokers?
- Compare the distributions of serum cotinine levels for smokers and nonsmokers.
- Displayed below is a frequency distribution containing a summary of the resting systolic blood pressures for a sample of 35 patients with ischemic heart disease, or suppression of blood flow to the heart.
Blood Pressure (mmHg) Number of Patients 115-124 4 125-134 5 135-144 5 145-154 7 155-164 5 165-174 4 175-184 5 Total 35 - Compute the grouped mean and the grouped standard deviation of the data.
- The 35 measurements of systolic blood pressure are stored on your disk in a file called ischemic; the values are saved under the variable name sbp. Compute the ungrouped mean and the ungrouped standard deviation of these data.
- Are the grouped and the ungrouped numerical summary measures the same? Why or why not?
- The data set lowbwt contains information recorded for a sample of 100 low birth weight infants-those weighing less than 1500 grams-born in two teaching hospitals in Boston, Massachusetts. Measurements of systolic blood pressure are saved under the variable name sbp. The dichotomous random variable sex designates the gender of each child, with 1 representing a male and 0 a female.
- Construct a pair of box plots for the systolic blood pressure measurements–one for boys and one for girls. Compare the two distributions of values.
- Compute the mean and standard deviation of the systolic blood pressure measurements for males and for females. Which group has the larger mean? The larger standard deviation?
