Sheet 1-2

1. A manufacturer of electronic components is interested in determining the lifetime of a


certain type of battery. A sample, in hours of life, is as follows:
123, 116, 122, 110, 175, 126, 125, 111, 118, 117.
(a) Find the sample mean and median.
(b) What feature in this data set is responsible for the substantial difference between the
two?
2. A tire manufacturer wants to determine the inner diameter of a certain grade of tire.
Ideally, the diameter would be 570 mm. The data are as follows:
572, 572, 573, 568, 569, 575, 565, 570.
(a) Find the sample mean and median.
(b) (b) Find the sample variance, standard deviation, and range.
(c) (c) Using the calculated statistics in parts (a) and (b), can you comment on the quality
of the tires?
3. The lengths of power failures, in minutes, are recorded in the following table.
22 – 18 - 135 - 15 - 90 – 78 – 69 – 98 - 102
83 – 55 – 28 - 121 – 120 – 13 - 22 – 124 - 112
70 – 66 – 74 – 89 - 103 – 24 – 21- 112 - 21
40 – 98 – 87 – 132 – 115 – 21 - 28 – 43 - 37
50 - 96 - 118 - 158 - 74 – 78 – 83 – 93 - 95
(a) Find the sample mean and sample median of the power-failure times.
(b) Find the sample standard deviation of the power failure times.
(c) Construct a frequency histogram of the data.
4. The following data are the measures of the diameters of 36 rivet heads in 1/100 of an
inch.

(a) Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation.


(b) Construct a relative frequency histogram of the data.
(c) Comment on whether or not there is any clear indication that the sample came from a
population that has a bell-shaped distribution.
5. The following are historical data on staff salaries (dollars per pupil) for 30 schools sampled
in the eastern part of the United States in the early 1970s.

(a) Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation.


(b) Construct a relative frequency histogram of the data.
