    MTH262- Statistics & Probability Theory

    Assignment No 1 Marks:5

    Assignment No 01
    (CLO-1, U-1, SO-1)
    Question 1: The U.S. Geological Survey monitors and reports on earthquakes, providing daily
    real-time, worldwide earthquake lists. Some of the information for four of the 105 earthquakes
    that occurred on May 10, 2013, is shown in the following table. Magnitude is given on the
    Richter scale and NST stands for the number of stations that reported the activity on the same
    earthquake.

    Identify the type of data provided by the information in the


    a. First column of the table.
    b. Second column of the table.
    c. Third column of the table.
    d. Fourth column of the table.
    e. Fifth column of the table

    Question 2: The report Controlling Road Rage: A Literature Review and Pilot Study was prepared
    for the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety by D. Rathbone and J. Huckabee. The authors discuss
    the results of a literature review and pilot study on how to prevent aggressive driving and road
    rage. As described in the study, road rage is criminal behavior by motorists characterized by
    uncontrolled anger that results in violence or threatened violence on the road. One of the goals of
    the study was to determine when road rage occurs most often. The days on which 69 road rage
    incidents occurred are presented in the following table.

    a. Determine a frequency distribution.


    b. Obtain a relative-frequency distribution.
    c. Draw a pie chart.
    d. Construct a bar chart.

    Question 3: Every year since 1998, Arbitron and Edison Research have conducted a nationally
    representative survey focusing on trends in digital platforms. According to their publication The
    Infinite Dial, in 2002, there were an average of 1.2 working computers in the U.S. home. A random
    sample of 45 households taken this year yielded the following data on number of working
    computers. Use single-value grouping.

    a. Determine a frequency distribution.


    b. Obtain a relative-frequency distribution.
    c. Construct a frequency histogram based on your result from part (a).
    d. Construct a relative-frequency histogram based on your result from part (b)

    Question 4: Patients who undergo chronic hemodialysis often experience severe anxiety.
    Videotapes of progressive relaxation exercises were shown to one group of patients and neutral
    videotapes to another group. Then both groups took the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, a
    psychiatric questionnaire used to measure anxiety, on which higher scores correspond to higher
    anxiety. In the paper “The Effectiveness of Progressive Relaxation in Chronic Hemodialysis
    Patients” (Journal of Chronic Diseases, Vol. 35, No. 10), R. Alarcon et al. presented the results of
    the study. The following data give score results for the group that viewed relaxation-exercises
    videotapes. Use limit grouping with a first class of 12–17 and a class width of 6.

    a. Determine a frequency distribution.

    b. Obtain a relative-frequency distribution.


    c. Construct a frequency histogram based on your result from part (a).
    d. Construct a relative-frequency histogram based on your result from part (b).

    Question 5: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) publishes data on adjusted gross incomes in
    Statistics of Income, Individual Income Tax Returns. The following relative frequency histogram
    shows one year’s individual income tax returns for adjusted gross incomes of less than $50,000.

    Use the histogram and the fact that adjusted gross incomes are expressed to the nearest whole
    dollar to answer each of the following questions.
    a. Approximately what percentage of the individual income tax returns had an adjusted
    gross income between $10,000 and $19,999, inclusive?
    b. Approximately what percentage had an adjusted gross income of less than $30,000?
    c. The IRS reported that 89,928,000 individual income tax returns had an adjusted gross
    income of less than $50,000. Approximately how many had an adjusted gross income
    between $30,000 and $49,999, inclusive?
