More information about the book can be found at http://wps.aw.com/aw_deveaux_stats_series. This file as well as the associated R Markdown reproducible analysis source file used to create it can be found at https://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/is4. This work leverages initiatives undertaken by Project MOSAIC (http://www.mosaic-web.org), an NSF-funded effort to improve the teaching of statistics, calculus, science and computing in the undergraduate curriculum. In particular, we utilize the `mosaic` package, which was written to simplify the use of R for introductory statistics courses. A short summary of the R needed to teach introductory statistics can be found in the mosaic package vignettes (http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mosaic). A paper describing the mosaic approach was published in the *R Journal*: https://journal.r-project.org/archive/2017/RJ-2017-024. ## Chapter 5: The Standard Deviation as a Ruler and the Normal Model ### Section 5.1: Standardizing with z-scores From page 111 ```{r} library(mosaic); library(readr); library(ggformula) options(na.rm=TRUE) options(digits=3) (6.54-5.91)/0.56 # Dobrynska's jump was 2.18 SD's greater than the mean ``` ```{r} twohund<-as.vector(c(23.2,23.3,23.3,23.6,23.9,23.9,24.2,24.2,24.3, 24.3,24.3,24.3,24.3,24.4,24.5,24.5,24.6,24.6,24.6,24.7,24.7,24.9, 24.9,24.9,25.0,25.0,25.0,25.2,25.3,25.4,25.4,25.4,25.4,25.5,25.9, 25.9,26.1)) twohund <- data.frame(twohund) df_stats(~., data=twohund) ``` ### Section 5.2: Shifting and Scaling ### Section 5.3: Normal Models The 68-95-99.7 rule ```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE} xpnorm(c(-3, -1.96, -1, 1, 1.96, 3), mean=0, sd=1, verbose=FALSE) xpnorm(c(-3, -1.96, 1.96, 3), mean=0, sd=1, verbose=FALSE) xpnorm(c(-3, 3), mean=0, sd=1, verbose=FALSE) ``` Step-by-step (page 120) ```{r} xpnorm(600, mean=500, sd=100) ``` ### Section 5.4: Finding normal percentiles as on page 121 ```{r} xpnorm(680, mean=500, sd=100) qnorm(0.964, mean=500, sd=100) # inverse of pnorm() qnorm(0.964, mean=0, sd=1) # what is the z-score? ``` or on page 122 ```{r} xpnorm(450, mean=500, sd=100) ``` and page 123 ```{r} qnorm(.9, mean=500, sd=100) qnorm(.9, mean=0, sd=1) # or as a Z-score ``` ### Section 5.5: Normal Probability Plots See Figure 5.8 on page 127 ```{r message=FALSE} Nissan <- read_delim("http://nhorton.people.amherst.edu/sdm4/data/Nissan.txt", delim="\t") ``` ```{r} gf_histogram(..density..~ mpg, binwidth=1, center=0.5, data=Nissan, fill = "royalblue2", col=TRUE) gf_qq(~ mpg, data=Nissan) %>% gf_labs(x="qnorm",y="mpg") ```
