Mathematical Statistics

December 01, 2023 – 12:00 nn

I. Identification. Write the term, phrase or concept being described in each of the
following. (1 point each)

1. It refers to a numerical quantity computed from a sample data.

Statistic

2. A study on birth weight of infants born to mothers who smokes during pregnancy recorded birth weights
as 1 for those less than 2,000 grams, 2 for 2,001 to 2,500 grams and 3 for those greater than 2,500 grams.
What scale of measurement was used for this variable?

Ordinal Scale

3. It is a process of collecting data that entails lesser cost, lesser effort and it is less time consuming
compared to other procedure/s.

Sampling

4. This term described a graph whose skewness index is 0.5.

Symmetrical

5. It is a measure of central location easily affected by extreme values in the data. Thus, one should be
cautious in using this when there are extreme observations or outliers.

Mean

II. Problem Solving. Answer the following problems. Show all necessary solutions.

1. In a class of 20 students of computing, 9 are female and 11 are male. The results of first-year JAVA
programming examination of male students are given as follows:

Males: 48 49 49 30 31 32 35 37 41 86 42

include the following: median, variance, 𝑷𝟑𝟒, 𝑸𝟑 and 𝑫𝟔. (3 points each)
a.) Obtain the summary statistics of the JAVA programming examination scores of male students which

Median:

30, 31, 32, 35, 37, 41, 42, 48, 49, 49, 86

Median=41

Variance

Mean (x ˉ )=n ∑ x
x ˉ =1148+ 49+ 49+30+31+32+35+37+ 41+86+ 42 ​=11480 ​≈ 43.64

Q 3 ​= = =9
100 100
60 (11+1) 720
D 6 ​= = =7. 2
100 100

b.) Determine whether the distribution of scores for male is symmetric, negatively skewed, or positively
skewed. (3 points)

Given: Mean = 43.64 (approx)


Median = 41
Mode = Mode is not explicitly given in the data provided.

Comparing mean and median: Mean>Median

Therefore, the distribution of scores for males is positively skewed.

2. The average IQ of a sample of 10 B.S. Statistics students in a Statistics course is 114. If 9 of the students
have IQs of 101, 125, 118, 128, 106, 115, 99, 118, and 109, what must be the other IQ? (3 points)

Average IQ = (Sum of all IQs) / Number of students


114 = (Sum of 9 IQs + Missing IQ) / 10
114 * 10 = Sum of 9 IQs + Missing IQ
1140 = (101 + 125 + 118 + 128 + 106 + 115 + 99 + 118 + 109 + Missing IQ)
1140 = 1029 + Missing IQ
Missing IQ = 1140 - 1029 = 111

Therefore, the missing IQ must be 111.

3. Consider the following frequency ogive and answer the questions that follow.

a) Reconstruct the frequency distribution table


45
40
with the following columns: class intervals,
40 36
38 frequencies, class marks, class boundaries,
35 and cumulative frequencies. (10 points)
30
30 b) Compute the following measures:
25
(4 points each)
20
20
b.1) mode
15
b.2) coefficient of variation
b.3) 80th percentile
10 6
b.4) 1st quartile
5
0 b.5) 7th decile
0
39.5 46.5 53.5 60.5 67.5 74.5 81.5
