Question:

Sharks. Great white sharks are big and hungry. Here are the lengths in feet of 44 great whites:

18.7 12.3 18.6 16.4 15.7 18.3 14.6 15.8 14.9 17.6 12.1 16.4 16.7 17.8 16.2 12.6 17.8 13.8 12.2 15.2 14.7 12.4 13.2 15.8 14.3 16.6 9.4 18.2 13.2 13.6 15.3 16.1 13.5 19.1 16.2 22.8 16.8 13.6 13.2 15.7 19.7 18.7 13.2 16.8

(a) Make a stemplot with feet as the stems and 10ths of feet as the leaves.

There are 2 outliers, one in each direction. These won’t change x much but will increase the standard deviation s. (Hint: See pages 226–229.)

(b) Give a 90% confidence interval for the mean length of all great white sharks.

(The interval may be too wide due to the influence of the outliers on s.) (Hint:

See pages 469–471.)

(c) What do we need to know about these sharks in order to interpret your result in (b)? (Hint: See pages 469–470.)
