3.2 The Following Set of Data Is From A Sample of N 6 7 4 9 7 3 12 A. Compute The Mean, Median, and Mode

The document contains instructions and solutions for computing various statistical measures for different data sets. For one data set of customer lunch spending, it is determined that customers spend an average of about $7, with a standard deviation of $1.8, and the data is symmetric around the median. For another data set on chocolate bar prices, the interquartile range is $0.46, and the five number summary and boxplot indicate most of the data is clustered between $0.68 and $1.14 per ounce.

2 The following set of data is from a sample of n = 6 7 4 9 7 3 12

a. Compute the mean, median, and mode.

b. Compute the range, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.


c. Compute the Z scores. Are there any outliers?

d. Describe the shape of the data set.


The data set is symmetric because mean = median

3.3 The following set of data is from a sample of n = 7 12 7 4 9 0 7 3

a. Compute the mean, median, and mode.


b. Compute the range, variance, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation.

c. Compute the Z scores. Are there any outliers?


d. Describe the shape of the data set.
The shape of the data set is negative or left-skewed because mean value is less than the median

3.8 The file FastFood contains the amount that a sample of nine customers spent for lunch ($) at a
fast-food restaurant:

4.20 5.03 5.86 6.45 7.38 7.54 8.46 8.47 9.87

a. Compute the mean and median.

Mean = 7029

Median:
• If data set has odd number of entries, median is the middle entry of sorted data.
• If data is even number of entries, median is the average of two middle entries of sorted
data.Our sorted data is:
4.2, 5.03, 5.86, 6.45, 7.38, 7.54, 8.46, 8.47, 9.87
Since our data has 9 (odd) number of entries, Median = 5th entry = 7.38
( Median = 7.38)

b. Compute the variance, standard deviation, range, and coefficient of variation.


Variance = 3.285

Standard Deviation = 1.812

Range = 5.67

c. Are the data skewed? If so, how?

d. Based on the results of (a) through (c), what conclusions can you reach concerning the amount
that customers spent for lunch?
customers spend an average of about $7 , give or take $1.8
3.22 The file contains the cost ($) per ounce for a sample of 14 dark chocolate bars:
0.68, 0.72, 0.92, 1.14, 1.42, 0.94, 0.77, 0.57, 1.51, 0.57, 0.55, 0.86, 1.41, 0.90

a. Compute the first quartile the third quartile and the interquartile range.

First, we need to arrange the data in the ascending order.

0.55,0.57,0.57,0.68,0.72,0.77,0.86,0.90,0.92,0.94,1.14, 1.41,1.42,1.51

First Quartile (Q1) -

0.55,0.57,0.57,0.68,0.72,0.77,0.86, : LEFT HALF

0.90,0.92,0.94,1.14, 1.41,1.42,1.51 - RIGHT HALF

Now, the Q1 is the median of the left half.

So, Q1 = 0.68

Third Quartile (Q3) -

It is the median of the right half .

So, Q3 = 1.14

IQR = Q3 - Q1

= 1.14 - 0.68

= 0.46

b. List the five-number summary.


The Median of data

= Avg of 7th and 8th element

= (0.86+0.90)/2

= 0.88

Therefore, the required 5 point summary is


Median: 0.88
Minimum: 0.55
Maximum: 1.51
First quartile: 0.68
Third quartile: 1.1
c. Construct a boxplot and describe its shape.
d. t and describe its shape.
