Written Assignment Unit 2

Find the mean .


x = sum of all values in the sample / number of values in the sample
x = ((1x2) + (2x5) + (3x8) + (4x12) + (5x12) + (6x0) +(7x1)) / (2+5+8+12+12+0+1)x = (2 + 10
+ 24 + 48 + 60 + 0 + 7) / 40x = 151 / 40
x = 3.775
Therefore, the mean x is 3.775
Find the samples standard deviation, s. The samples standard deviation, s = the square root of the
variance.
The sample variance, s² is equal to the sum of the last column (64.975) divided by the total
number of values in the sample minus one (40 - 1):s² = 64.975 / (40 - 1) = 1.666025641The
sample standard deviation, s is equal to the square root of the sample variance: s = =
1.2907461567Therefore, the sample standard deviation, s is 1.2907461567

Complete the Relative Frequency column and the Cumulative Relative Frequency Column.
X Frequency RelativeFrequency Cumulative RelativeFrequency
1 2 2/40 = 0.05 0.05
2 5 5/40 = 0.125 0.05 + 0.125 = 0.175
3 8 8/40 = 0.2 0.175 + 0.2 = 0.375
4 12 12/40 = 0.3 0.375 + 03 = 0.675
5 12 12/40 = 0.3 0.675 + 0.3 = 0.975
6 0 0/40 = 0 0.975 + 0 = 0.975
7 1 1/40 = 0.025 0.975 + 0.025 = 1
Find the first quartile.
The first quartile = middle value of the lower half of the data = (tenth value + eleventh value) / 2
The first quartile = (3 + 3) / 2 = 6/2 = 3
Therefore, the first quartile = 3

Find the median.


The median = (twentieth value + twenty first value) / 2 = (4 + 4) / 2 = 8/2 = 4
Therefore, the median = 4

Find the third quartile.


The third quartile = middle value of the upper half of the data = (thirtieth value + thirty first
value) / 2
The third quartile = (5 + 5) / 2 = 10/2 = 5

What percent of students owned at least five pairs?


By looking at the cumulative relative frequency column, I would say that 97.5 percent of
students owned a least five pairs.
Find the 40th percentile. Let k = the kth percentile, i = index and n = total number of datai = (k
(n + 1)) / 100 = (40 (40 + 1)) / 100 = 16.4Since i (16.4) is not an integer, we need to round it up
and round it down to the nearest integer.
Therefore, the 40th percentile = (4+4)/2 =4.

Find the 90th percentile.


By using the same formula as the 40th percentile,
i = 90(40+1) / 100 = 36.1
Therefore, the 40th percentile = (5 + 5) / 2 = 5
