Textbook Question
Chapter 1.2, Problem 16E
The article cited in Example 1.2 also gave the accompanying strength observations for cylinders:
- a. Construct a comparative stem-and-leaf display (see the previous exercise) of the beam and cylinder data, and then answer the questions in parts (b)-(d) of Exercise 10 for the observations on cylinders.
- b. In what ways are the two sides of the display similar? Are there any obvious differences between the beam observations and the cylinder observations?
- c. Construct a dotplot of the cylinder data.

The following data refers to yield of tomatoes (kg/plot) for four different levels of salinity. Salinity level here refers to electrical conductivity (EC), where the chosen levels were EC = 1.6, 3.8, 6.0, and 10.2 nmhos/cm. (Use i = 1, 2, 3, and 4 respectively.) 1.6: 59.1 53.1 56.9 63.8 58.1 3.8: 55.6 59.1 52.8 54.1 6.0: 51.6 48.6 53.5 49.2 10.2: 44.7 48.9 40.9 47.5 46.5
