Assignment 1

This document is an assignment for a statistics and probability theory course. It contains 6 questions asking students to analyze various data sets related to tire lifespan, bus wait times, power outages, tire diameters, light bulb lifetimes, and road accidents. Students are asked to calculate measures of central tendency and dispersion, create frequency distributions, find outliers, and comment on the quality of products based on the statistical analysis.

(a)).

(b) Find the standard deviation of the power failure times and interpret the results.

Q. No. 4: A tire manufacturer wants to determine the inner diameter of a certain grade of tire.
Ideally the diameter would be 570 mm. The data are as follows:

572 572 573 568 569 575 565 570

(a) Find the sample mean and median.


(b) Find the sample variance, standard deviation, and range.

tires?

follows:
A 72 68 53 68 76 71 69 68 70
B 72 76 68 65 68 72 70 79 78

(a) Find the variance and standard deviation for Company-A and Company-B.
(b) Comment on the quality of the bulbs and suggest which one is better (Use measures of
Variations).
Q. No. 6: The following sample shows the weekly number of road accidents in a city during two
years period:
