Estimating the Mean Running Time of Family Movies

The running times of 200 family movies are grouped into intervals with corresponding frequencies. To estimate the mean running time:

Step 1: Calculate Mid-Interval Values

  • For each class interval, calculate the midpoint (mid-interval value). For example:
    • 70 to 80 minutes: (70 + 80) / 2 = 75
    • 80 to 85 minutes: (80 + 85) / 2 = 82.5
    • 85 to 90 minutes: 87.5
    • 90 to 95 minutes: 92.5
    • 95 to 105 minutes: 100

Step 2: Use Frequency Data

  • Multiply each mid-interval value by its frequency:
    • 75 * 11 = 825
    • 82.5 * 51 = 4207.5
    • 87.5 * 68 = 5950
    • 92.5 * 47 = 4347.5
    • 100 * 23 = 2300

Step 3: Calculate the Mean

  • Sum of (mid-interval value × frequency) = 825 + 4207.5 + 5950 + 4347.5 + 2300 = 17630
  • Total frequency = 200
  • Mean running time = 17630 / 200 = 88.15 minutes

Estimating the Interquartile Range (IQR) Using Cumulative Frequency Graph

Step 1: Identify Quartiles

  • Total movies = 200
  • Q1 (25th percentile) = 0.25 × 200 = 50th movie
  • Q3 (75th percentile) = 0.75 × 200 = 150th movie

Step 2: Estimate Q1 and Q3 from Graph

  • Q3 corresponds to 91.5 minutes
  • Q1 corresponds to 84 minutes

Step 3: Calculate IQR

  • IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 91.5 - 84 = 7.5 minutes

Outlier Detection for Starfield Movie

  • Starfield running time = 100 minutes
  • Calculate upper outlier boundary:
    • Upper boundary = Q3 + 1.5 × IQR = 91.5 + 1.5 × 7.5 = 102.75 minutes
  • Since 100 < 102.75, Starfield is not an outlier.

Chi-Square Goodness of Fit Test for Normality

Hypotheses

  • H0: Running times follow a normal distribution with mean 88 and standard deviation 6.75
  • H1: Running times do not follow this normal distribution

Expected Frequencies Calculation

  • Use normal cumulative distribution function (CDF) to find probabilities for intervals
  • Multiply probabilities by total frequency (200) to get expected frequencies
  • Example: For interval 85 to 90 minutes,
    • Probability = normalCDF(85, 90, 88, 6.75)
    • Expected frequency = Probability × 200 = 57.6

Chi-Square Test Execution

  • Observed and expected frequencies entered into calculator
  • Degrees of freedom = number of intervals - 1 = 4
  • Test statistic χ2 = 12.1
  • P-value = 0.0165

Conclusion

  • Since p-value (0.0165) < significance level (0.05), reject H0
  • Conclusion: The running times of family movies do not follow a normal distribution with mean 88 and standard deviation 6.75

This analysis provides a comprehensive approach to summarizing running time data, estimating central tendency and spread, detecting outliers, and statistically testing distribution assumptions for family movie durations.
