Chapter 6.2, Problem 18BSC

Seat Designs. In Exercises 13–20, use the data in the table below for sitting adult males and females (based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.). These data are used often in the design of different seats, including aircraft seats, train seats, theater seats, and classroom seats. (Hint: Draw a graph in each case.)

The segmented bar graphs below depict data from the NAAL (National Assessment of Adult Literacy) conduct-ed in 2003. (Source: Kutner, M., et al, Literacy in Everyday Life: Results From the 2003 National Assessment of Adult Lit-eracy (NCES 2007–480).U.S. Department of Education. Washington, DC) Does there appear to be a relationship between volunteer-ism and literacy level? a) Yes, all three bars have the same number of segments.b) Yes, because all three bars have the same height.c) Yes, because the corresponding segments of the threebars have different heights.d) No, because the corresponding segments of the threebars have different heights.e) No, because the sums of the 3 proportions in each barare identical.
