Worksheet Chap 2

The document outlines a series of exercises focused on statistical analysis, including frequency distributions, descriptive statistics, and data visualization techniques. It covers various datasets related to dental care, postoperative infections, housing arrangements, and creativity scores, requiring calculations such as mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation. Additionally, it involves constructing histograms, pie charts, and boxplots to interpret the data effectively.

Exercise 1:

In a study of the oral home care practice and reasons for seeking dental care among individuals
on renal dialysis, Atassi (A-1) studied 90 subjects on renal dialysis. The oral hygiene status of all
subjects was examined using a plaque index with a range of 0 to 3 (0= no soft plaque deposits, 3
= an abundance of soft plaque deposits). The following table shows the plaque index scores for
all 90 subjects.

a) Use these data to prepare:


A frequency distribution
A relative frequency distribution
A cumulative frequency distribution
A cumulative relative frequency distribution
A histogram
A frequency polygon
b) What percentage of the measurements are less than 2.00?
c) What proportion of the subjects have measurements greater than or equal to 1.50?
d) What percentage of the measurements are between 1.50 and 1.99 inclusive?
e) How many of the measurements are greater than 2.49?
f) What proportion of the measurements are either less than 1.0 or greater than 2.49?
g) Someone picks a measurement at random from this data set and asks you to guess the value.
What would be your answer? Why?
h) Frequency distributions and their histograms may be described in a number of ways
depending on their shape. For example, they may be symmetric (the left half is at least
approximately a mirror image of the right half), skewed to the left (the frequencies tend to
increase as the measurements increase in size), skewed to the right (the frequencies tend to
decrease as the measurements increase in size), or U-shaped (the frequencies are high at
each end of the distribution and small in the center).
How would you describe the present distribution?

Exercise 2:

Cardosi et al. (A-12) performed a 4-year retrospective review of 102 women undergoing radical
hysterectomy for cervical or endometrial cancer. Catheter-associated urinary tract infection was
observed in 12 of the subjects. Below are the numbers of postoperative days until diagnosis of
the infection for each subject experiencing an infection.

Compute (a) the mean, (b) the median, (c) the mode, (d) the range, (e) the variance, (f) the
standard deviation, (g) the coefficient of variation, and (h) the interquartile range. Treat the data
set as a sample.

Exercise 3:

A questionnaire on housing arrangements showed this information obtained from 25


respondents. Construct a frequency distribution for the data (H = house, A = apartment, M =
mobile home, D = Dorms).

H D H M H A D A M

D M D A M A D D M
D D H A H H M

Then draw a pie chart to represent your data.

Exercise 4:

Draw the boxplot for the following observations

1, 14, 14, 15, 17, 19, 14, 23, 25, 26, 15, 19, 196

Find the outliers (if any) and specify their type

Exercise 5:

For the following data, compute the mean, the mode and the median.

55, 57, 59, 58, 60, 57, 56, 58, 61, 58, 59

Exercise 6:

Exercise 7:

In a condition of an experiment, a researcher obtains the following creativity scores:


3 2 1 0 7 4 8 6 6 4
In terms of creativity, interpret the variability of these data using the following:
(a) the range,
(b) the variance
(c) the standard deviation
Treat this data as a whole population.
