Kanchana has been working as an environmental engineer at a consulting firm for over twenty-five years. Well-known for settling disputes between his corporate clients before litigation must be pursued, Kanchana often analyses technical data, particularly distributions of solid particle pollution, presented by disputing parties to help them reach a compromise on the cost of environmental clean-up. For example, two parties may be separated from one another by a strip of land; however, each party must fiscally contribute in keeping the land free from pollutants.
One day, Kanchana was contacted by a journalist to talk about his experiences at the firm. Kanchana spoke about how he often encountered cases where companies did not accurately depict levels of solid particle pollution occupying the companies’ respective surroundings. Instead, technical experts, who are mostly engineers, would misrepresent data in order to make it seem that minority parties were responsible for a greater part of the contamination. At the end of the interview, Kanchana emphasized the necessity of engineers taking ownership and being honest about the presentation of data.

The motion picture industry is a competitive business. More than 50 studios produce several hundred new motion pictures each year, and the financial success of the motion pictures varies considerably. The opening weekend gross sales, the total gross sales ($ millions), the total gross sales ($millions), the number of theaters the movie was shown in, and the number of weeks the motion picture was in release are common variables used to measure the success of a movie. Data on the top 100 grossing motion pictures released in 2016 (Box Office Mojo website) are contained in a file named Movies2016. Table 3.10 below shows the data for the first 10 motion pictures in this file.

Use the numerical methods of descriptive statistics presented in this chapter to learn how these variables contribute to the success of a motion picture. Include the following in your report:

1. Descriptive statistics for each of the four variables along with a discussion of what the descriptive statistics tell us about the motion picture industry.

2. What motion pictures, if any, should be considered high-performance outliers? Explain.

3. Descriptive statistics showing the relationship between total gross sales and each of the other variables. Discuss.
