COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT) : Islamabad Campus

This assignment from the COMSATS Institute of Information Technology involves analyzing various data sets related to statistics and probability using measures of central tendency, dispersion, frequency distributions, and other statistical techniques. The six questions ask students to analyze data on tire life, bus wait times, power outages, tire diameters, bulb lifetimes, and road accidents to calculate values like mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, interquartile range, and detect outliers. The goal is to evaluate and comment on the quality and behavior of the different data sets.

(a) Find the mean, median and mode of the data and comment on the data behavior using
measure of central tendency.
(b) Find the highest possible measure of dispersion of the data.
(c) Make the frequency distribution using any suitable interval.

quality of the tires?
