3.6 Comparing Data

数据比较练习题 - 掌握多组数据对比分析

Exercise 3F

以下是4道综合练习题,涵盖箱线图、茎叶图、统计量的对比分析。

1

Question 1

The box plots below show the distribution of speeds of cars on two motorways.

Compare the distributions of the speeds on the two motorways.

解答过程

  • 位置度量:Motorway A的车速中位数更高,说明其车辆平均速度更快
  • 离散度量:Motorway A的四分位距更大,车速波动更明显;Motorway B的车速更集中
  • 整体分布:Motorway A的车速范围更广,Motorway B的车速分布更紧凑
答案:Motorway A车速更快但波动更大,Motorway B车速较慢但更稳定

Question 2

Two classes of primary school children complete a puzzle. Summary statistics for the times the children took, in minutes, are shown in the table.

\( n \) \( \Sigma x \) \( \Sigma x^2 \)
Class 2B 20 650 22000
Class 2F 22 598 19100

Calculate the mean and standard deviation of the times and compare the distributions.

解答过程

Class 2B统计量计算

  • 均值:\( \bar{x}_{2B} = \frac{650}{20} = 32.5 \) 分钟
  • 标准差:\( \sigma_{2B} = \sqrt{\frac{22000}{20} - 32.5^2} ≈ 6.61 \) 分钟

Class 2F统计量计算

  • 均值:\( \bar{x}_{2F} = \frac{598}{22} ≈ 27.18 \) 分钟
  • 标准差:\( \sigma_{2F} = \sqrt{\frac{19100}{22} - (27.18)^2} ≈ 11.38 \) 分钟

对比分析

  • 位置度量:Class 2B平均用时更长,完成拼图的平均速度更慢
  • 离散度量:Class 2F用时波动更大,Class 2B用时更集中
答案:Class 2B平均用时32.5分钟,标准差6.61分钟;Class 2F平均用时27.18分钟,标准差11.38分钟

Question 3

The stem and leaf diagram below shows the age, in years, of the members of a sports club.

Male Stem Female
8 8 7 6 1 6 6 6 7 7 8 8 9
7 6 5 5 3 3 2 1 2 1 3 3 4 5 7 8 8 9 9
9 8 4 4 3 3 2 3 3 4 7
5 2 1 4 0 1 8
9 0 5 0

Key: 1|4|0 represents a male aged 41 and a female aged 40

a) Find the median and interquartile range for the males.

b) The median and interquartile ranges for the females are 27 and 15 respectively. Make two comparisons between the ages of the males and females.

解答过程

a) 男性年龄统计量

男性年龄升序:16,17,18,18,21,22,23,23,25,25,26,27,33,34,34,38,39,41,42,45,50,59(共22人)

  • 中位数:\( \frac{26+27}{2} = 26.5 \) 岁
  • 下四分位数\( Q_1 = 22 \),上四分位数\( Q_3 = 38 \)
  • 四分位距(IQR):\( 38 - 22 = 16 \) 岁

b) 男女年龄对比

  • 中位数对比:男女成员年龄中心相近(男性26.5岁,女性27岁)
  • 四分位距对比:男性IQR=16岁,女性IQR=15岁,男性年龄波动略大于女性
答案:a) 男性中位数26.5岁,IQR=16岁;b) 男女年龄中心相近,男性年龄波动略大

Question 4

In the box plots here, the marks for a group of students taking their Mathematics exam for the first time are shown on the top. The marks for a group of students who are retaking their Mathematics exam are shown on the bottom.

Compare and contrast the marks between the two groups taking the exam. (3 marks)

解答过程

  • 位置度量:补考学生成绩中位数更高,成绩中心更优
  • 离散度量:补考学生成绩四分位距更大,成绩波动更明显;首次考试学生成绩更集中
  • 整体分布:补考学生成绩范围更广,首次考试学生成绩范围相对较窄
答案:补考学生成绩中心更高但波动更大,首次考试学生成绩更集中
