Questions - Statistics:

Exercise 1:

Given the dataset:


[4,7,2,9,6,3,8,5,7,6,8,2,6,4,10]

1. Calculate the Mean (Show full calculations).

2. Find the Median of the dataset.

3. Determine the Mode, if it exists.

4. If the highest and lowest values are removed, compute the trimmed mean.

5. Explain when median is a better measure than mean.

Exercise 2:

Given the dataset:


[12, 18, 14, 19, 25, 18, 21, 20, 22, 18, 17, 16, 25, 19, 21]

1. Compute the Mean of the dataset (Show full calculations).

2. Determine the Median.

3. Identify the Mode, if it exists.

4. Explain what it means if a dataset has multiple modes.

5. Compare Mean vs. Median—which is more resistant to outliers and why?

Exercise 3:

Consider the dataset:


[5, 7, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 100]

1. Compute the Mean (Show all calculations).

2. Find the Median of the dataset.

3. Identify the Mode, if it exists.

4. How does the presence of an outlier (100) affect the Mean vs. Median?

5. If the outlier (100) is removed, recompute the Mean and Median and compare
the changes.
