Box and Whisker Plot
Average Price-Earnings Ratio
Part D
It can be seen from the analysis above that the highest price-earnings ratio is observed
for the company TPG Telecom Limited (TPM) and the company has the least standard
deviation of the ratios. This indicates that the price-earnings ratio is the least fluctuated in this
company. Thus, investing in TPM would be a better choice than the other companies as a
higher price-earnings ratio indicates higher chances of earnings in the future.
Answer 3
Part A
Probability that an Australian selected at random will die from neoplasms = (44,674 /
147,678) = 0.3025
Part B
The probability that an Australian selected at random will die from a disease of the
circulatory system and is a female = (22,493 / 147,678) = 0.1523
Part C

Based on the given table, it can be seen that death due to neoplasms has the highest
proportion of male deaths compared to female deaths and death due to diseases of the
circulatory system has the highest proportion of female deaths compared to male deaths.
Answer 4
Part A
i. There are 52 weeks in a year. Out of 52 weeks, in 6 weeks there have been no rainfall.
Therefore, the probability that on any given week in a year there would be no rainfall
= (6 / 52) = 0.1154
ii. In 41 weeks, two or more days of rainfall have been observed.
Therefore, the probability that there will be 2 or more days of rainfall in a week =
(41 / 52) = 0.7885
Part B
Mean and Standard deviation of total weekly rainfall
Mean 10.04615
Standard Deviation 12.58774

7STATISTICS ASSIGNMENT
i. It has been observed that the rainfall is between 5 mm and 15 mm in 15 weeks. Thus,
the probability that in a given week there will be between 5mm and 15mm of rainfall
= (15 / 52) = 0.2885
ii. The amount of rainfall if only 10% of the weeks have that amount of rainfall or higher =
25 mm.
Answer 5
Part A
The variables Refractive Index, SIO2 and CAO are observed to follow normality from the
normal probability plots.
