Use the relative frequency histograms in Figure 4.46, based on the variable weight (WT) for the case
Question:
Use the relative frequency histograms in Figure 4.46, based on the variable weight
(WT) for the case and control groups in the Benign Breast Disease data set (???? = 200), to answer the following questions.
(a) Describe the general shape of the each distribution suggested by the histograms in Figure 4.46.
(b) Do the histograms in Figure 4.46 support the use of the same probability model for modeling the weights of the case subjects and the control subjects? Why?
(c) Does the histogram for the case subjects support the use of the normal probability model for weight? Why?
(d) Does the histogram for the control subjects support the use of the normal probability model for weight? Why?
(e) Which subpopulation appears to have a higher percentage of women weighing between 80 and 130?
