Would you employ calculations for the sample standard deviation, or population standard deviation for this dataset: Ages of all students in a Statistics course with an enrollment of 30 students. Select the correct answer below: Use calculations for sample standard deviation Use calculations for population standard deviation Which of the following lists of data has the smallest standard deviation? Select the correct answer below: 11, 17, 9, 4, 4, 6, 6, 9, 8, 18 29, 21, 21, 28, 28, 26, 24, 24, 17, 23 6, 8, 10, 6, 8, 8, 10, 7, 10, 10 23, 19, 12, 19, 17, 18, 16, 10, 12, 21 17, 12, 6, 6, 15, 16, 20, 20, 5, 17 Remember that standard deviation is a measure of how spread out the values are. The list 6, 8, 10, 6, 8, 8, 10, 7, 10, 10 has the smallest standard deviation because its values are all relatively close together. Which of the data sets represented by the following histograms has the smallest standard deviation?

The numbers for the miles run each day so far are listed below. 8,9,7,13,3,9,14 Find the mean number of miles she runs daily. Provide your answer below: 9 (average of all numbers) An art collector bought 20 paintings at an art fair, and wants to know the average price of her new paintings. She adds the prices of all the paintings and divides this number by 20 to find an average price of $350 . Is this price a sample mean or a population mean, and which symbol would be used to denote it? Select the correct answer below: Population Mean μ Sample Mean x¯¯¯ Given the following list of the number of pens randomly selected students purchased in the last semester, find the median. 13,7,8,37,32,19,17,32,12,26 Provide your answer below: 18 (because the list has length 10, which is even, we know the median number will be the average of the middle two numbers, 17 and 19. So the median number of pens randomly selected students purchased in the last semester is 18.) Find the mode of the following amounts of exercise (in hours) randomly selected runners completed during a weekend. 2,14,14,4,2,4,1,14,4,4,8 Provide your answer below: 4 (Note that 4 occurs 4 times, which is the greatest frequency) Find the mode of the following list of points earned on a 16 point quiz given during a finance class. 7,7,3,2,7,16,12,16,12 Provide your answer below: 7 Find the median of the following set of data. 35,43,18,35,29,27,19,19 Give your answer as a number only.

He finds that the heights of his 9 grandchildren are given in inches by 63,71,60,59,74,60,60,75,58. What is the population mean of the height of his grandchildren in inches? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of an inch and do not include units. Provide your answer below: 64.4 Given the following list of the number of pencils randomly selected students used in a school year, find the median. 10,22,6,7,19,5,27 Provide your answer below: 10 A teacher randomly selects 10 out of her 30 students and finds that the mean height of those 10 students is 5′2". Is this a sample mean or a population mean, and which symbol would be used to denote it? Select the correct answer below: Population Mean μ Sample Mean x¯¯¯ A data set lists the number of strikes scored per team during a bowling league championship. For this data set, the minimum is 2, the first quartile is 3, the median is 5, the third quartile is 7, and the maximum is 14. Construct a box-and-whisker plot that shows the number of strikes scored. Provide your answer below: Given the following frequency table of data, what is the potential outlier? Value Frequency 11 1 12 2 13 12 14 6 15 7 16 2 17 0 18 0 19 0 20 0 21 0 22 0 23 1 Select the correct answer below: 11 14 12 13 23 (Note that most of the values are between 11 and 16, whereas 23 is far above the rest of the values. Therefore, 23 is the potential outlier.) Given the following frequency table of data, what is the potential outlier? Value Frequency 15 1 16 0 17 3 18 4 19 6 20 10 21 3 22 2 23 1 24 0 25 0 26 0 27 0 28 0 29 0 30 1 Select the correct answer below: 30 18 23 19 17 A data set lists the number of extra credit points awarded on midterm scores of 15 students taking a statistics course. For this data set, the minimum is 3, the median is 15, the third quartile is 16, the interquartile range is 4, and the maximum is 19. Construct a box-and-whisker plot that shows the extra credit points awarded. Provide your answer below: Remember that the interquartile range is the third quartile minus the first quartile. Since we know the third quartile is 16, and the interquartile range is 4, we find that the first quartile must be 16−4=12.

Select all correct answers.  1   43   86   92   108  Remember that outliers are numbers that are less than 1.5⋅IQR below the first quartile or more than 1.5⋅IQR above the third quartile, where IQR stands for the interquartile range. The interquartile range is the third quartile minus the first quartile. So we find  IQR=86−56=30 [Show More]
