7 Free Response: The Free Response questions will count as 40% of your total grade. Read each question carefully. In order to receive full credit, you must show logical (relevant) justification which supports your final answer. You MUST show your work. Answers with no justification will receive no credit. 1. The Department of Agricultural Sciences at Clemson was interested in determining whether a preservative was effective in reducing discoloration in frozen apples. A sample of 50 ripe apples was chosen and was prepared for freezing by slicing each apple into quarters and removing the core. Each sliced apple was placed into a small plastic bag and the bags of apples were then randomly divided into two groups. The 25 bags in the control group were sealed. The preservative was added to the 25 bags containing apples in the treatment group, then the bags were sealed. All bags were stored at 0 C for a period of 4 months. At the end of this time, after the apples were thawed, a technician rated each apple s discoloration from 1 to 10, with a low score indicating little discoloration. A. Was this an observational study or an experiment? Explain your response. (3 pts) Experiment: There was a treatment of the preservative imposed upon the apples OR this meets the criteria of an experiment because there is randomization, replication and a control Grading: 1 pt States experiment 2 pts States reason B. What was the explanatory variable, response variable? (2 pts) Explanatory: the preservative or no preservative Response: the amount of discoloration of the apples Grading: 1 pt Explanatory variable 1 pt Response variable 7
8 The dot plots below show the distributions of the discoloration rating for the control and treatment groups. C. Use the dot plots to answer the following question. Was the preservative effective in reducing the amount of discoloration in the apples? (4 pts) The preservative appears to have reduced the amount of discoloration in the apples. Student should make some attempt to compare location via median or mean or provide evidence that the discoloration rating for the control group is generally higher. Control: Mean = 6.6, median = 7 Treatment: Mean = 5.16, median = 5 Grading: 1 pt States that the preservative was effective 3 pts Justification, deduct 2 points if the student says that the discoloration of the control group was generally higher (or treatment group was lower) but does not give a specific measure to justify this. D. The standard deviation of the amount of discoloration in the treatment group was Describe the meaning of this value in the context of this situation. (2 pts) The standard deviation of describes the average of the difference in each individual discoloration rating and the mean discoloration rating for apples in the treatment group. Grading: 1 Mentions average or mean, no credit if the term average or mean is used but the definition is pt not close to being correct. 1 Mentions deviations from the mean pt 8
9 2. The weights, in pounds, of the 22 members of the 2012 U. S. Women s Olympic Rowing Team are listed in the table below A. Compute the five-number summary for these weights. Show appropriate work. (3 pts) Min: 106 Q1: 6 th value of 160, Med: ( )/2= Q3: 175 MAX: 185 All units are pounds Deduct 1 if no attempt to indicate location. Deduct 1 for each incorrect value up to full credit deducted Deduct 1 for extraneous values (mean, standard deviation) B. Compute the interquartile range and upper and lower fences for outliers. (3 pts) IQR: = 15 Lower: (15)=137.5 Upper: (15)=197.5 pounds 1 pt Correct IQR 1 pt Correct upper fence with work shown 1 pt Correct lower fence with work shown C. Are there outliers in this distribution? If so, justify below. (2 pts) 106, 123, and 130 pounds are outliers because they are lower than the lower fence. **Deduct 1 point if the unit (pounds) is not indicated anywhere in part A, part B or part C 1 pt Correctly identifies the 3 outliers no deduction for unit 1 pt Compares to lower fence D. Sketch the boxplot of the distribution of weights on the grid below. (3 pts) Weights (pounds) 1 pt Box and right whisker drawn correctly 1 pt Left whisker drawn correctly 1 pt Outliers correct No partial credit for any part 9
10 3. A sample of 81 teenagers was asked how many movies they watched from beginning to end during the past month. Students reported integer values (0, 1, 2, ). The graph below summarizes the results Frequency Number of Movies 5 6 A. Use the graph to compute the mean number movies seen in the last month by this group of teenagers. Justify your answer. (4 pts) x = 0(26) + 1(24) + 2(14) + 3(8) + 4(6) + 5(2) + 6(1) pt Correct symbol for mean or word mean, correct unit 1 pt Correct numerator 1 pt Correct denominator 1 pt Correct answer = 1.43 movies B. From this data, it was determined that the standard deviation of the number of the number of movies seen is 1.45 movies. Use the mean that you found in part A, to compute the interval from one standard deviation below the mean to one standard deviation above the mean. (2 pts) = = 2.88 The range is from 0 to 2.88 movies 1 pt Correct upper limit with work shown 1 pt Correct lower limit with work shown 10
11 C. Find the percent of data represented by the graph that falls inside the interval from one standard deviation below the mean to one standard deviation above the mean. Justify. (2 pts) From the graph: ( )/ 81 ~ 79% No partial credit. If an incorrect range from part B is used in a correct manner, give credit. D. Is the percent of data falling within one standard deviation of the mean close to what the Empirical Rule predicts? What is the reason for this discrepancy? (3 pts) The Empirical Rule predicts that approximately 68% of the data in a bell-shaped distribution lies within one standard deviation of the mean. This distribution is not bell-shaped so the Empirical Rule does not apply. 1 pt Correct reference to Empirical Rule 2 pts Explanation of discrepancy based upon the shape of the distribution. 11
12 4. The Carolina Farm Cooperative owns and leases prime farmland in the Southeast. Most of its acres are planted in corn. The cooperative performs a substantial amount of testing to determine what seed types produce the greatest yields. Recently the cooperative tested three types of corn seed on test plots. The following values were observed after the first year: Mean (bushels per acre) Standard Deviation (bushels per acre) Seed Type A Seed Type B Seed Type C A. Based on the results of the testing, which seed produced the greatest yield per acre? Justify. (2 pts) Seed type C has the highest mean yield. 1 pt Chooses seed type C 1 pt States highest mean yield. B. Assume that the production of each type of seed is bell-shaped and the Empirical Rule applies to each distribution. If you are a farmer and had to obtain at least 135 bushels per acre to escape bankruptcy, which seed type would you plant? Explain your choice clearly. (4 pts) Seed Type A: Student should compare the relative position of 135 acres in all three distributions: z-score for A = 1.88 z-score for B = 5.27 z-score for C = 2.19 There is a higher likelihood of a yield of 135 acres or more for Seed Type A because the z- score associated with 135 acres is the lowest in distribution A. 1 pt Chooses seed type A 3 pts Correct justification based upon relative position. 12
