distribution is fairly symmetric with a central peak, as
shown by the stem and leaf display:

71. a. Mode ¼ .93. It occurs four times in the data set.
b. The Modal Category is the one in which the most
observations occur.
73. The measures that are sensitive to outliers are the mean
and the midrange. The mean is sensitive because all
values are used in computing it. The midrange is the
most sensitive because it uses only the most extreme
values in its computation.
The median, the trimmed mean, and the midfourth are
less sensitive to outliers. The median is the most resistant
to outliers because it uses only the middle value (or
values) in its computation. The midfourth is also quite
resistant because it uses the fourths. The resistance of the
trimmed mean increases with the trimming percentage.

79. a. There may be a tendency to a repeating pattern.
b. The value .1 gives a much smoother series.
c. The smoothed value depends on all previous values of
the time series, but the coefficient decreases with k.
d. As t gets large, the coefficient (1 – a)
t–1
decreases to
zero, so there is decreasing sensitivity to the initial
value.
