A histogram has a horizontal axis labeled "Cell phone bill (dollars)" from 0 to 460 in increments of 20 and vertical axis labeled "Frequency" from 0 to 24 in increments of 2. Vertical bars with class width 20 are plotted with heights as follows, with class listed first and height listed second: 0 to 20, 7; 20 to 40, 8; 40 to 60, 16; 60 to 80, 18; 80 to 100, 12; 100 to 120, 14; 120 to 140, 3; 140 to 160, 9; 160 to 180, 4; 180 to 200, 3; 200 to 220, 3; 240 to 260, 1; 360 to 380, 1; 420 to 440, 1.

Vertical bars with class width 20 are plotted with heights as follows, with class listed first and height listed second: 0 to 20, 6; 20 to 40, 4; 40 to 60, 10; 60 to 80, 3; 80 to 100, 14; 100 to 120, 11; 120 to 140, 17; 140 to 160, 18; 160 to 180, 9; 180 to 200, 4; 200 to 220, 3; 220 to 240, 1.

Comment on the shape of the histogram. Choose the correct answer below.

A.

The histogram is symmetric andbell-shaped.

B.

The histogram is uniform.

(b) Draw a boxplot of the data. Are there anyoutliers?

A boxplot is plotted over a horizontal number line labeled from less than 0 to 360 plus in increments of 40. The boxplot consists of the following: a box with left and right edges at 55 and 120; a vertical line inside the box at 80; horizontal lines extending out from the box's left and right edges to 0 and 250, respectively; and two asterisks plotted at 370 and 435. All values are approximate.

The boxplot consists of the following: a box with left and right edges at 55 and 120; a vertical line inside the box at 80; horizontal lines extending out from the box's left and right edges to 0 and 200, respectively; and three asterisks plotted at 250, 370, and 435. All values are approximate.

Your answer is correct.

Are thereoutliers?

No, because there are no values that fall outside1.5(IQR) of Upper Q 1

Q1 and Upper Q 3

Q3.

No, because there are no values that are more extreme than Upper Q 1

Q1 or Upper Q 99

Q99.

Yes, because there are several values that are more extreme than Upper Q 1

Q1 or Upper Q 99

Q99.

Yes, because there are several values that fall outside1.5(IQR) of Upper Q 1

Q1 and Upper Q 3

Q3.

Your answer is correct.

(c) Based on the results to parts(a) and(b), explain why a large sample size might be desirable to construct a confidence interval for the mean monthly cell phone bill. Choose the correct answer below.

A.

The results to parts(a) and(b) indicate that the underlying population is normal. Such populations require large sample sizes to construct valid confidence intervals.

B.

The results to parts(a) and(b) indicate that the sample data are not independent. Dependent samples require large sample sizes to construct valid confidence intervals.

C.

The results to parts(a) and(b) indicate that the sample size is small relative to the population size. Sample sizes must be large relative to the population size to construct valid confidence intervals.

D.

The results to parts(a) and(b) indicate that the underlying population isnon-normal. Such populations require large sample sizes to construct valid confidence intervals.

Your answer is correct.

(d) Use statistical software to construct a 99

99% confidence interval for the mean monthly cell phone bill.
