neutrinos that were missed or the possibility that two explosions occurred.

2.19 No. We tend to compare areas visually. The area of the large sack is far more than double the area of
the small sack. The large sack should be modified so that its area is slightly less than double that of
the small sack.

2.21 We first note that the classes are not of equal length. If the distribution of the data were uniform
over a single interval covering all of the data, one would expect that longer classes would have higher
counts. To correct for this, the area of each rectangle should be proportional to the proportion of
observations in the class. Of course, when the class lengths are equal, plotting the height equal to the
class frequency results in rectangles with area proportional to the corresponding class proportions.

2.27 (a) Would like a high salary-outlier that is large.

(b) Would like a high score-outlier that is large.

(c) Near average.

2.28 (a) Would like finish early-outlier that is small.

(b) Near average.

2.29 Greater on the mean. It would not influence the median for sample size 3 or more.

2.30 Greater on the Range. It would influence the value of the range but not the interquartile range if the
sample size is at least 5.

below the specification. On average, the holes are too small.

(b) The mean does not provide a good summary. The most important feature is the drop in perfor-
mance as illustrated in time order plot of distance versus sample number. It is likely the tip of
the leg became covered with debris again. The early trials indicate what can be expected if this
problem can be avoided.

You may verify the mean by first showing that xi = 4265.

2.35 No. The sum of the salaries must be equal to 3 ( 175,000) = 525,000 which is less than 550,000. This
assumes that all salaries are non-negative. It is certainly possible if negative salaries are allowed.

2.36 The mean is indeed 85. But, we comment that s = 15 indicating considerable variation in average
monthly temperature. The median is 86, also a comfortable temperature.

2.37 (a) The mean agreement is:

XIII
Then, at the drooping of the twilight hour,
We wander in the ancient plaza where
We breathe the attar of the jasmine flower
Like incense on the altar of the air;
And list, as music swells
Down drifting from the old cathedral tower,
The arpeggio of the bells.
XIV
We linger by the sea-wall while the tide
Below us murmurs like a sad refrain,
Bearing from outer ocean reaches wide
The lore and legend of the Spanish main,
Nor leave that spot serene
Till Sleep, as with the mantle of the bride,
Wraps fair Saint Augustine.
XV
Days dedicate to rapturous things were these;
It was as though Youth came again, and brought
Past aims, past ardors and past ecstasies,
And toward the shrine of Beauty turned our thought.
And there were after times
Of exultation, prismic harmonies,
When hours ran by in rhymes.
XVI
Once, ’mid cathedral Carolinian pines,
We saw the Springtide, at its radiant birth,
Kindle to fragrant gold the coiling vines,
And make a garden of the wakened earth;
And every morning heard
Within the treetops, melody linked with mirth,
The hidden mocking-bird.
XVII
And while the cardinal through the waving bredes
Of pendulous moss swift flitted like a flame,
Back flooded to our minds the illustrious deeds,
Emblazoned on the honor-scroll of Fame,
When Liberty was won,
Hearkening the Ashley whisper to its reeds
The name of Marion.
XVIII
From Gloucester cliffs and brown Nantucket dunes
The mountains lured you, and the mountain star;
For us the Woodland sang its lyric runes
Where’er we followed it, or near or far,
In sun or shadow cool,
Or loitered through long languorous afternoons
By Dian’s darkling pool.
XIX
Far up the valley Wittenberg’s vast form,
Its summit beckoning, with you I view,
And above sweeping slopes where wild bees swarm
Glimpse timid deer at dawn and fall of dew;
Through Panther Kill we roam,
And mark the purple streamers of the storm
Ascend behind the Dome.
XX
And, too, in bookmen’s mines of dusty ore
Ever shall I remember how we delved,
Plucking from out the musty treasure-store
Rich rarities within the darkness shelved,
Elated if we found
Leaves that some name we long had honored bore
In frayed morocco bound.
XXI
Thus, step by step, we trod adown the years,
Thus, side by side, with ne’er a break between;
We shared our laughter and we shared our tears,
Nor deemed inexorable Fate might intervene
To sever the strong cord
That bound us, Fate with its “abhorrèd shears,”
That is man’s over-lord.
XXII
You that in Autumn came, in Autumn went;
How vain to say the mourning word! how vain
To beat the bars of that arbitrament
That metes to mortals pleasurement or pain!
How vain!—how vain!—and yet
We beat upon them, and we only gain
The poignance of regret!
XXIII
Autumn again with all its loveliness;
Autumn again that brought an end to joy,
Despite the sight of earth in amber dress,
And airs that bear the blitheness of a boy!
Autumn, and leaves that toss
In bright brief triumphing, while they express
The brooding sense of loss.
XXIV
Autumn again down every winding way
That, in the days gone by, our footsteps pressed!—
Instead of woven amaranth would I lay
Above your dust—you gone by paths unguessed—
Love’s deathless asphodel;
Until some happier hour,—when, who shall say?—
Brother in song, farewell!
