The document discusses how to calculate statistical measures like the mean, standard deviation, quartiles, and percentiles from a dataset on the number of pairs of sneakers owned by students. Formulas and steps are provided to find the mean, standard deviation, first quartile, median, third quartile, percentage of students owning at least 5 pairs of sneakers, and the 40th and 90th percentiles.

To find the mean 𝑥ˉ, we use the formula:

𝑥ˉ=∑𝑋⋅𝑓𝑛xˉ=n∑X⋅f

Where 𝑋 represents the value of each observation, 𝑓 represents the frequency of each

observation, and 𝑛 is the total number of observations.

So,

(1 ×2 )+ ( 2×5 )+ ( 3× 8 ) + ( 4 ×12 ) + ( 5 ×12 ) + ( 6 × 0 ) + ( 7 ×1 )


xˉ = ¿ ¿
40 ¿
¿

(2+10+24 +48+ 60+0+7)


𝑥ˉ= 40 ¿

𝑥ˉ= ¿ ¿
40

xˉ=3.775

To find the sample standard deviation 𝑠, we use the formula:

2 .⋅f ¿
𝑠=√ ∑ ( X−x ˉ )¿ n−1

First, we need to calculate the squared deviations (X −x ˉ )2for each observation, then multiply

them by their respective frequencies, sum them up, and divide by 𝑛−1, then take the square

root.
Now, let's complete the Relative Frequency column and the Cumulative Relative Frequency

Column:

Relative Frequency= Total number of observations ¿

Cumulative Relative Frequency=∑Relative Frequency

2. 5 5 0.05 + 0.125 = 0.175

3. 8 8 0.175 + 0.2 = 0.375

4. 12 12 0.375 + 0.3 = 0.675

5. 12 12 0.675 + 0.3 = 0.975

7. 1 1 0.975 + 0.025 = 1
= 0.025

Now, we find the first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), and third quartile (Q3).

Q1 is the median of the lower half of the data, Q2 is the median of the entire dataset, and Q3 is

the median of the upper half of the data.

For this dataset, since it has 40 observations, Q1 would be the 10th observation (25% of the

data), Q2 would be the 20th observation (50% of the data), and Q3 would be the 30th

observation (75% of the data).


Pairs of sneakers (X) Frequency

3. 8

7. 1

Q1: Since the 10th observation is in the "3 pairs of sneakers" category, Q1 = 3.

Q2: Since the 20th observation is in the "4 pairs of sneakers" category, Q2 = 4.

Q3: Since the 30th observation is in the "5 pairs of sneakers" category, Q3 = 5.

To find what percent of the students owned at least five pairs, we sum the frequencies for the categories with

five or more pairs:

Frequency of 5 pairs+ Frequency of 6 pairs+ Frequency of 7 pairs


Percent of students with at least five pairs =
Total number of students

× 100

12+ 0+1 13
Percent of students with at least five pairs= ×100= × 100=32.5 %
40 40

To find the 40th percentile, we look for the value corresponding to the observation closest to the 40th percentile

in the ordered dataset. Since 40% of 40 is 16, the 40th percentile corresponds to the 16th observation. Looking

at the ordered data, the 16th observation falls in the "4 pairs of sneakers" category.

The 90th percentile corresponds to the observation closest to 90% of the data. Since 90% of 40 is 36, the 90th

percentile corresponds to the 36th observation. Looking at the ordered data, the 36th observation also falls in

the "4 pairs of sneakers" category.

So, the 40th and 90th percentiles are both 4 pairs of sneakers.
