Write your answers ONLY in the space provided.

Q1. A manager recorded the number of days employees were out sick from the office
during the last year. For n=7 employees, the counts were 0, 0, 4, 7, 11, 13, and 35 days.

a. What are the units of average and standard deviation? [2 pts]

It is the same as the original values or data.

b. Will the units of average and standard deviation be different from: [4 pts]
[Select from the drop-down]

Median No

Range Yes

Interquartile range No

Variance Yes

C. Compute for the given data [4 pts]

Average 0+0+4+7+11+13+35 70
—-------------------------- = —---- = 10
7 7

Median 7

Mode 0

Range =Q3-Q1
=11-0
=11
Q2. In an effort to provide more consistent customer service, the manager of a local
fast-food restaurant would like to know the dispersion of customer service times in
relation to their average value for the facility’s drive-up window. The table below
provides summary measures for the customer service times (in minutes) for a sample
of 50 customers collected over the past week.

Count 50
Mean 0.873
Median 0.885
Quartile 1 0.404
Quartile 3 1.246
Variance 0.187
Standard Deviation 0.432
Minimum 0.077
Maximum 1.608
Skewness -0.003
Kurtosis 0.002

a. Identify and list the measures of dispersion from the table above. [1 pt]

S.D.
Variance

b. Identify and compute any additional measures of dispersion from the data above but not
listed in the table. [2 pt]

Range = Max.-Min. =1.608-0.077 =1.531


I.Q.R = Quartile 3 - Quartile 1 =1.246-0.404 = 0.842
Coefficient Of Vari. = S.D./Mean =0.494

c. Interpret the measures of dispersion of the sample. [3 pts]

The kurtosis is positive and skewness is negative as mean and median is different,it can’t
be treated as normal distribution.

d. Which of the statistics listed in the table can be used to assess the normality of the data
distribution for which the above statistics were computed? [1 pt]
Men, Mode and Median can be use to determinethe normality of data.If we get statics equal then
it is normal distribution, with an bell shaped perfect symmetry.
Also the Kurtosis and Skewness should be zero.

e. Comment on the measure of shape for the sample. [3 pts]

The skewness value -0.003 and the mean value which is less than the median value, indicates that
it is negative skewed distribution.

f. What additional statistical tools/techniques can you use (not listed above) to assess the
normality of data distribution? [1 pts]

Normal Distribution is checked on the basis of symmetrical curve in the shape of a bell nearly
centered to the mean.

Normality of data can also be determined with the help of Box-Pilot.,Histogram, and QQ Plot.
