Q1) Calculate Skewness, Kurtosis & Draw Inferences On The Following Data A. Cars Speed and Distance

The document contains 13 questions related to analyzing datasets using measures of central tendency, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis, boxplots, and histograms. Key inferences include: 1) Speed and distance data is right skewed, top speed and weight data is positively skewed. 2) A student's test scores are uniformly distributed and ascending in order. 3) Boxplots and histograms can complement each other by showing data distribution by percentiles vs frequencies and clarifying skewness.

Answer from R:
Q2) Draw inferences about the following boxplot & histogram

Anwer = Right side skewed or positively skewed

Answer = The interface for this box plot is positively skewed


Q3) Suppose we want to estimate the average weight of an adult male in
Mexico. We draw a random sample of 2,000 men from a population of
3,000,000 men and weigh them. We find that the average person in our
sample weighs 200 pounds, and the standard deviation of the sample is 30
pounds. Calculate 94%,98%,96% confidence interval?

Answer:

Identify a sample statistic. Since we are trying to estimate the mean weight in the
population, we choose the mean weight in our sample (200) as the sample statistic.

Working with a 94% confidence level

Find standard error. The standard error (SE) of the mean is:
S 30
SE= = =0.670
√ N √ 2000
= Compute alpha (ɑ ¿ :ɑ=1−¿ (confidence level / 100) = 0.9933

= Find the critical probability(p*): p* = 1 - ɑ /2 = 1 – 0.9933/2 = 0.4966

= find the degree of freedom(df): df = n-1 = 2000 – 1 = 1999

= The critical value is the t score having 1999 degrees of freedom

and a probability equal to 0.4966

= critical value is – 0.009

Confidence interval for 94%:

critical value * standard error = -0.009 * 0.94 = - 0.00846

Confidence interval for 98%:

critical value * standard error = -0.009 * 0.98 = - 0.00882

Confidence interval for 96%:

critical value * standard error = -0.009 * 0.96 = -0.00864


Q4) Below are the scores obtained by a student in tests

34,36,36,38,38,39,39,40,40,41,41,41,41,42,42,45,49,56
1) Find mean, median, variance, standard deviation.

Answer:

Mean =
∑ x = 738 = 41
N 18

Median = (40 + 41)/ 2 = 40.5

Variance = S2 = ∑ ¿¿ ¿ ¿ = 25.52941

√
2
Standard deviation = σ = ∑ ( x i−μ) = 5.052664
N

2) What can we say about the student marks?


Answer: The student marks are in uniformly distribution data in Ascending
order.

Q5) What is the nature of skewness when mean, median of data are equal?
Answer:
Normalized Skewness

Q6) What is the nature of skewness when mean > median?


Answer:
Right Skewed or Positive Skewness
Q7) What is the nature of skewness when median > mean?
Answer:
Left Skewed or Negative Skewness
Q8) What does positive kurtosis value indicates for a data?
Answer:
Sharp peak in the plot, less gap between tails to x-axis
Q9) What does negative kurtosis value indicates for a data?
Answer:
Border peak under the curve and more gap between tails and x-axis
Q10) Answer the below questions using the below boxplot visualization.

What can we say about the distribution of the data?


Answer:
The data is distributed in De-assigned format.
What is nature of skewness of the data?
Answer:
Left side skewed or Negative Skewness
What will be the IQR of the data (approximately)?
Answer:
Q3 – Q1 = 18 – 10 = 8 is IQR
Q11) Comment on the below Boxplot visualizations?

Draw an Inference from the distribution of data for Boxplot 1 with respect
Boxplot 2.
Answer:
The boxplot 1 designed with range = 3, The second boxplot range is = 1.5

Q12)

Answer the following three questions based on the boxplot above.


(i) What is inter-quartile range of this dataset? (please approximate the
numbers) In one line, explain what this value implies.
Answer:
Inter-quartile range = Q3 – Q1 = 12 – 5 = 7 ( The value implies that
Mean > Median)

(ii) What can we say about the skewness of this dataset?


Answer:
The data is positively skewed

(iii) If it was found that the data point with the value 25 is actually 2.5,
how would the new boxplot be affected?
Answer:
It will be placed at 3

Q13)
Answer the following three questions based on the histogram above.
(i) Where would the mode of this dataset lie?
Answer:
The mode of this dataset lie on the 7 on the X-axis (Values of “Y”)

(ii) Comment on the skewness of the dataset.


Answer:
The data is Positively Skewness or Right Side Skewed

(iii) Suppose that the above histogram and the boxplot in question 2 are
plotted for the same dataset. Explain how these graphs complement
each other in providing information about any dataset.
Answer:
The boxplot explains the data distributed by percentage of 25% or 4
quartile, identify median data and identify the outlier data, while the
histogram show the number of each data with more clear on the
skewness. Both are positively skewness dataset.
