Percentiles. In Exercises 17–20, use the following radiation levels (in W/kg) for 50 different cell phones. Find the percentile corresponding to the given radiation level.


0.48 W/kg

In Exercises 21–24, find the coefficient of variation for each of the two samples; then compare the variation. (The same data were used in Section 3-1.)

Pulse Rates Listed below are pulse rates (beats per minute) from samples of adult males and females (from Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B). Does there appear to be a difference?

Large Data Sets from Appendix B. In Exercises 25–28, refer to the indicated data set in Appendix B. Use software or a calculator to find the range, variance, and standard deviation. Express answers using appropriate units, such as “minutes.”

Earthquakes Use the magnitudes (Richter scale) of the 600 earthquakes listed in Data Set 24 “Earthquakes” in Appendix B. In 1989, the San Francisco Bay Area was struck with an earthquake that measured 7.0 on the Richter scale. If we add that value of 7.0 to those listed in the data set, do the measures of variation change much?

Comparing Values. In Exercises 13–16, use z scores to compare the given values.

Tallest and Shortest Men The tallest adult male was Robert Wadlow, and his height was 272 cm. The shortest adult male was Chandra Bahadur Dangi, and his height was 54.6 cm. Heights of men have a mean of 174.12 cm and a standard deviation of 7.10 cm. Which of these two men has the height that is more extreme?

Significant Values. In Exercises 9–12, use the range rule of thumb to identify (a) the values that are significantly low, (b) the values that are significantly high, and (c) the values that are neither significantly low nor significantly high.

IQ Scores The Wechsler test is used to measure intelligence of adults aged 16 to 80. The mean test score is 100 and the standard deviation is 15.

Percentiles. In Exercises 17–20, use the following radiation levels (in W/kg) for 50 different cell phones. Find the percentile corresponding to the given radiation level.

1.47 W/kg

In Exercises 21–28, use the same list of cell phone radiation levels given for Exercises 17–20. Find the indicated percentile or quartile.
