The "cold start ignition time" of an automobile engine is being investigated by a gasoline manufacturer. The following times (in

seconds) were obtained for a test vehicle: 1.76, 1.84, 2.71, 2.26, 3.15, 3.21, 2.48, 1.87. A second formulation of the gasoline was tested in the same vehicle, with the following times (in seconds): 1.75, 2.08, 3.17, 3.21, 2.74, 2.83, 3.47, 2.47, 1.98, and 3.39. Use this new data along with the cold start times to construct comparative box plots.

Answer:

The boxplots are on the figure attached. And the explanation is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first formulation we have the following dataset:

1.76, 1.84, 2.71, 2.26, 3.15, 3.21, 2.48, 1.87

We can construct a box plot with the following R code:

> x1<-c( 1.76, 1.84, 2.71, 2.26, 3.15, 3.21, 2.48, 1.87)

> boxplot(x1,main="Boxplot method 1")

For the scond formulation we have the following data:

1.75, 2.08, 3.17, 3.21, 2.74, 2.83, 3.47, 2.47, 1.98

And the boxplot can be constructed with the following R code:

> x2<-c(1.75, 2.08, 3.17, 3.21, 2.74, 2.83, 3.47, 2.47, 1.98)

> boxplot(x2,main="Boxplot method 2")

And we can get the comparative 5 number results for each case:

> summary(x1)

  Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.  

 1.760   1.863   2.370   2.410   2.820   3.210  

> summary(x2)

  Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max.  

 1.750   2.080   2.740   2.633   3.170   3.470

As we can see both histograms shows asymmetrical distributions. For the first method Mean>Median so then we can conclude that the distribution would be approximately skewed to the right. For the second case the Median>Mean so we can conclude that the distribution would be approximately skwewed to the left.

The correlation coefficient for poor hearing and loud music in a group of people is 0.67. Analyze the following statement: Poor
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Correlation does not mean <em>causation</em> even after having a relatively high correlation coefficient as a result.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correlation and causation are not the same. Correlation does not mean that variations in one variable <em>cause</em> variations in the second variable. Instead, correlation considers that variations in one variable <em>corresponds</em> with variations of the second variable. No more.

Correlation is an important first step to establish that one variable possibly can cause some effect on the other, but it is not a definitive answer to this question. It is crucial to find other possible factors that can explain what causes some effect.

As a conclusion, a positive and relative high correlation coefficient does not necessarily mean causation. It simply tells us that some study found that people that listen to loud music are also people with poor hearing problems, and possibly a cause to the latter variable is to listen loud music repeatedly, but it is a must to find other possible factors before definitely concluding that.

Divide 45 by 60 which gives you 0.75. To check your answer, multiply 0.75 by 60 then add that answer to -45. So, the answer is 0.75
