The document reports the results of a survey of 40 students about the number of pairs of sneakers they owned. It provides the frequency distribution and asks questions about calculating various descriptive statistics for the data, including the mean, standard deviation, quartiles, median, and percentiles. The summary provides the calculated values for these statistics as the mean is 3.775, the standard deviation is 1.399585, the first quartile is 2, the median is 4, the third quartile is 5, 2.5% of students owned at least 5 pairs, the 40th percentile is 4, and the 90th percentile is 5.

Forty randomly selected students were asked the number of pairs of sneakers they owned. Let X = the number of pairs of snea

1. Find the mean \bar{x}


2. Find the samples standard deviation, s.
3. Complete the Relative Frequency column and the Cumulative Relative Frequency Column.
4. Find the first quartile.
5. Find the median.
6. Find the third quartile.
7. What percent of the students owned at least five pairs?
8. Find the 40th percentile.
9. Find the 90th percentile.

Answer
1 Mean
to find the mean, first we will multiply value of each X by its respective frequency and sum each result and divid it
X Frequency X(Frequency)
1 2 2
2 5 10
3 8 24
4 12 48 Mean =151/40
5 12 60 3.775
6 0 0
7 1 7
Total 40 151

2 Sample Standard Deviation


to find the sample standard deviation, first we need to have the variance: follow the below table
X Frequency X(Frequency) (X-Mean)^2 Freq(X-Mean)^2
1 2 2 8.6406 17.2812
2 5 10 2.6406 13.2030
3 8 24 0.1406 1.1248
4 12 48 0.6406 7.6872
5 12 60 1.8906 22.6872
6 0 0 10.8906 0.0000
7 1 7 13.8906 13.8906
Total 40 151 38.7342 75.8740

3 Complete the Relative Frequency column and the Cumulative Relative Frequency Column.
relative frequency= frequency/Total numberof observation
Relative Cumulative
X Frequency Frequency Relative
1 2 0.05 0.05
2 5 0.125 0.175
3 8 0.2 0.375
4 12 0.3 0.675
5 12 0.3 0.975
6 0 0 0.975
7 1 0.025 1
Total 40 1

4 first quartile.

We must determine the value of X that represents the 25th percentile in order to determine the first quartile. We s

The value of X that represents the 50th percentile must be identified in order to determine the median. We search
frequency is closest to but not more than 0.50 because 50% of 40 is equal to 20. Given that it is 4, the median value

6 third quartile

To find the third quartile, we need to find the value of X that corresponds to the 75th percentile. Since
that has a cumulative relative frequency closest to, but not greater than, 0.75. That value is 5, so the t

7 Percent of the students owned at least five pairs

To find the percent of students who owned at least five pairs, we need to find the cumulative relative freque
Percent of students who owned at least five pairs = (1 - Cumulative Rela
= (1 - 0.975) * 100
= 2.5%

8 40th percentile

We must determine the value of X that represents the 40th percentile in order to determine the 40th percentile. W
frequency is closest to 0.40 but not larger than 0.40 because 40% of 40 is equal to 16. The 40th percentile is 4, so th

9 90th percentile
To find the 90th percentile, we need to find the value of X that corresponds to the 90th percentile. Since 90% of 40
frequency closest to, but not greater than, 0.90. That value is 5, so the 90th percentile is 5.

Therefore, the mean is 3.775, the sample standard deviation is 1.399585, the first quartile is 2, the median is
least five pairs, the 40th percentile is 4, and the 90th percentile is 5
