The document contains 3 assignments involving calculating measures of central tendency and analyzing distributions from data sets:
1) The first assignment asks to calculate the measure of central tendency for viral loading data and justify the choice.
2) The second assignment involves creating a stem-and-leaf plot and frequency table to find the average, modal, and median scores from exam data and compare the median to a histogram.
3) The third assignment involves calculating the mean, modal, and median ages from age distribution data of postgraduate students and finding the mean using an assumed value.

Assignment II
1. The viral loading of loading of a virus was observed by a biochemistry student at
ten different equally spaced time as follows; 100, 110, 121, 533, 146, 136, 178, 114, 135 and 161. Compute an appropriate measure of central tendency of the viral loading and justify your choice. 2. The data below gives the scores obtained by 100 randomly selected students in STA 201 examination in 2008/2009 academic session.
22 35 43 48 56 60 67 78 10 19 23 36 44 49 56 61 68 79 11 07 24 37 45 50 56 61 70 82 16 12 25 37 46 51 57 63 72 83 05 94 26 38 46 53 58 63 72 84 91 18 28 39 47 52 58 63 72 85 08 13 30 40 47 53 58 64 74 86 04 90 32 41 47 53 58 64 74 86 13 21 33 42 48 54 59 65 75 87 09 17 33 42 48 54 59 67 76 88 19 06 (a) Prepare the Stem-and-Leaf Plot (b) Use the Stem-and-Leaf Plot in (a) to prepare the appropriate Frequency Table (c) From the Frequency Table obtain; (i) The average score obtained in STA 201 (ii) The modal score (iii) The median score (d) Draw the histogram for the distribution. (e) Use the histogram in (d) to determine the median score and compare it with the median obtained in c(iii).
3. The age distribution of 80 randomly selected postgraduate students in the faculty
of science is as follows;
Age Frequency 20 – 24 8 25 – 29 28 30 – 34 27 35 – 39 12 40 – 44 4 45 - 49 1 (a) Find the mean age of the postgraduate students. (b) Find the mean age using assumed mean, A = 32years. (c) Determine the modal age (d) Determine the median age.
