Select ALL the correct answers. A pitcher for a professional baseball team allows runs in the first nine games he starts this season. Let A be the set of the number of

runs allowed by the pitcher in his first nine starts.

A = {1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1}

In the tenth game he starts, he allows 9 runs. Let B represent the set of the number of runs allowed in all ten games he has started.

Select the true statements.

The median of B is 1 run more than the median of A.

The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A.

The interquartile range of A is 1 less than the interquartile range of B.

The median of A is the same as the median of B.

Including the runs allowed in the tenth game does not cause the spread of the data to

change.

(b) The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A.

(d) The median of A is the same as the median of B.

Explanation:

Given

$A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}$

$10th\ run = 9$

So:

$B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}$

Required

Select all true statements

(a) & (d) Median Comparisons

$A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}$ $B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}$

n = 9 n = 10

Arrange the data:

$A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,3, 4\}$ $B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}$

$Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}th$ $Median = \frac{10 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{10}{2}th$ $Median = \frac{11}{2}th$

Median = 5th Median = 5.5}th --- average of 5th and 6th

Median = 2 $Median = \frac{2+2}{2} = 2$

Option (d) is correct because both have a median of: 2

(b) & (c) Interquartile Range Comparisons

$A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,3, 4\}$ $B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}$

n = 9 n = 10

First, calculate the lower quartile (Q1)

$Q_1 = \frac{n + 1}{4}th$ [Odd n] $Q_1 = \frac{n}{4}th$ [Even n]

$Q_1 = \frac{9 + 1}{4}th$ $Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th$

$Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th$ Q_1 = 2.5

Q_1 = 2.5th

This means that:

Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)

Q_1 = 1 + 0.5(1- 1) Q_1 = 1+ 0.5(1 - 1)

Q_1 = 1 Q_1 = 1

Next, calculate the upper quartile (Q3)

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n + 1)th$ [Odd n] $Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n)th$ [Even n]

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(9 + 1)th$ $Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th$

$Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th$ Q_3 = 7.5th

Q_3 = 7.5th

This means that:

Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)

Q_3 = 2 + 0.5(3- 2) Q_3 = 2+ 0.5(4 - 2)

Q_3 = 2.5 Q_3 = 3

The interquartile range is IQR = Q_3 - Q_1

So, we have:

IQR = 2.5 - 1 IQR = 3 - 1

IQR = 1.5 IQR =2

(b) is true because B has a greater IQR than A

(e) This is false because some spread measures (which include quartiles and the interquartile range) changed when the 10th data is included.

The upper quartile and the interquartile range of A and B are not equal

Which statements best describe the differences or similarities between a comparative investigation and an experimental investigation? check all that apply. experimental investigations are best for showing cause-and-effect relationships, while comparative investigations do not necessarily show this type of relationship. comparative investigations are often impractical and unrealistic, while experimental investigations are the most practical and realistic kinds of investigations. comparative investigations allow for the use of a wide range of variables but do not have a control group, while experimental investigations involve variables that can be controlled. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations are designed to answer scientific questions. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations focus on making observations rather than collecting new data.
