Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the purpose of the normal quantile plots

The purpose of normal quantile plots (Q-Q plots) is to determine if a data set is approximately normally distributed. If the points in the plot lie approximately along a straight line, the data can be considered to come from a normal distribution.

Step 2: Analyze each plot for linearity
  • Top-left plot: The points deviate significantly from a straight line, especially at the tails. This suggests the data is not normally distributed.
  • Top-right plot: The points lie approximately along a straight line, indicating the data is likely normally distributed.
  • Bottom-left plot: The points lie approximately along a straight line, indicating the data is likely normally distributed.
  • Bottom-right plot: The points lie approximately along a straight line, indicating the data is likely normally distributed.
Step 3: Determine which plots indicate normality

Based on the analysis:

  • Top-right plot: Reasonable to treat as a sample from an approximately normal population.
  • Bottom-left plot: Reasonable to treat as a sample from an approximately normal population.
  • Bottom-right plot: Reasonable to treat as a sample from an approximately normal population.

Final Answer

The plots that illustrate samples that can be reasonably treated as from an approximately normal population are:

  • Top-right plot
  • Bottom-left plot
  • Bottom-right plot

A customer is upset because she believed if she bought two products, she'd get two free. You explain the sale is actually buy two, get one free. She argues that's not what the sign said. 1) Which statement is MOST like how you would respond? Select a statement Apologize for the confusion, but explain the sale again. Ask if she would like to put the fourth one back, since that one is not free. Tell her you're sorry and explain that a lot of people misread the sign. Reiterate that the sign does in fact say "buy two, get one free." Because the customer is getting upset, tell her you will talk to your supervisor to see if there's anything you can do. Walk with her to one of the sale signs so she can see it does say "buy two, get one free." Apologize that the sign was confusing.
