(Answer Ch3) Chapter 3 Answers 8-11

This document contains solutions to multiple statistics problems involving calculating measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) from grouped data. 1) The first problem calculates the mean salary as 22,000 Euro from an unsorted data set. 2) The second problem calculates the median and mode salary as 18,500 Euro and 18,000 Euro respectively from a sorted data set. 3) The third problem calculates the mean, median, and mode age from grouped age data, finding the values to be 19.3 years, 19 years, and 19 years respectively.

Answers chapter 3

8. a. ∑ x 308
x = ------- = ----- = 22 (x 1000 Euro)
n 14

b. 1) Data array: 11 12 14 16 17 18 18 19 22 25 30 31 32
43 2) number Median: (14 + 1):2 th item = 7/8 th item

Me = (18 + 19) : 2 = 18,5 (x 1000 Euro)

c. Mode = 18 (x 1000 Euro)

9. Here the data are grouped!

a. Ages Number Total


x (w) x.w
----- ----- --------
17 10 170
18 150 2 700
19 450 8 550
20 200 4 000
21 50 1 050
22 20 440
23 10 230
---- ---------
Total ∑= 890 ∑(x.w) = 17 140

X(av) = 17140 : 890 = 19,26.

The average age is 19.3 years.

b. Mode = 19 years

c. The value “19 years” occurs the most frequent in the dataset
d. Median = (890 + 1) : 2 th item = 445/446 th item. (the number, NOT the
value!)

e. Both the 445th and the 446th item are 19.

The Median = (19 + 19): 2 = 19 years.

f. Half of the students have an age of ≤ 19 years and half of the student
have an age of ≥ 19 years.

10.

a. Calculation of the mean (average)

--------------------- Calcul. mean


Weight (kg Number m m·f
------------- ------ --------------
750 - < 1000 80 875 70000
etcetera ___ ______
Total 280 311000
-----------------------------------

S (m*f )/ n = 311 00 / 280 = 1110.7 kg or 1111 kg

b. Find the MEDIAN. Calculate the number: n = 280 ;


number of the median:(280 + 1) 2 = 140/141 th

Interpolation in class 1000 - < 1200, 60.5/100 cars, so 1000 + (60.5/100) x (1200 –
1000)= 1121 kg

c. Find the MODE. First: find the modal class


So: calculate densities ! !

------------------------------------------------
Weight (kg Number Freq densities
------------- ------- --------------------------
750 - < 1000 80 80/250 x 100 = 32
etcetera
-------------------------------------------------
Highest density : 60 so : modal class : 1200 - < 1300
Mode = 1250 kg

11.

a. Before making the graph . . calculate FREQ DENSITIES

b. 1) add in words: “There are 100 houses with a price > 400 (x E 1000)”
2) construct an imaginary class e.g. 400 - < 800 (with consequently a density of 10 per
40 x E 1000)
c.

------------------------------------ Calculation mean


Price (x E 1000) Number of houses m m·f
------------------ ---------------- ----------------
100 - < 180 300 140 42000
etcetera .. .. …..
400 and more 100 500* 50000
Total 1200 297800
-----------------------------------------------------

The average price is 297800 : 1200 = 248,2 (x E 1000)

• The average price is 500 (x E 1000).

d. Median number (1200 + 1) : 2 = 600/601, lies in class


220 - < 260 (make the cumulative distribution and see: < 220: 500 , < 260: 800).
After interpolation find: Me = 233 (x E 1000)
e. Find modal class first. Calculate densities. Highest
density in class 220 - < 260 , so Mo = 240 (x E 1000)

f. Interpolate how many data between 210 and 220, 220 and
260 (which is the given 300 houses) and between 260 and
290. Result: 50 + 300 + 120 = 470 houses.
