1) The students of Hugh Logan’s math class took the Scholastic Aptitude Test. Their math
scores are shown below. Find the mean score.

1. Add up all of the numbers:

2. Count the numbers of items in your data set.

3. Divide the number you found in by the number you found in Step 2

Means = (4646.00 ) / n

=4646.00 /10

= 464.6

2) The salaries of ten randomly selected physicians are shown below. Find the median
salary.

$105,000 $149,000 $163,000 $214,000 $225,000


$116,000 $111,000 $791,000 $240,000 $178,000

The median is middle value of a set of ordered data.

Median = {(163,000+ 178,000) ÷ 2}th value = 170,500

553, 578, 586, 619, 626, and 633. Suppose that the student with the score of 533 drops
the seminar and is replaced by a student with a score of 765. What will happen to the
mean and the median scores of the class? Explain.

5) Suppose there are 400 students in your school class. What class rank is the 20th
percentile?

6)

Look at the above distribution. What type is it and why?

The distribution is skewed to the right because more data is in the right tail than in a

symmetric distribution.

6) What is the range and standard deviation for the following data:

2, 6, 15, 9, 11, 22, 1, 4, 8, 19

Range = 22 - 1 = 21

1. Find means

2, 6, 15, 9, 11, 22, 1, 4, 8, 19/ 10 = 9.70

2. Find the sum of square from mean: subtract mean set from number

of item, square the result, and sum of the square:

Count n num Num -means Squared


1 2 2 - 9.70 = -7.70 (-7.70)2 = 59.29
2 6 6 - 9.70 = -3.70 (-3.70)2 = 13.69

4 9 9 - 9.70 = -0.70 (-0.70)2 = 0.49
5 11 11 - 9.70 = 1.30 (1.30)2 = 1.69
6 22 22 - 9.70 = 12.30 (12.30)2 = 151.29
7 1 1 - 9.70 = -8.70 (-8.70)2 = 75.69

7) Use the following data to figure determine 1) the five number summary and 2) create a
boxplot.

2.5, 3.3, 4.2, 5.9, 6.8, 7.2, 7.7, 8.5, 9.2, 9.9, 10.5

1. Put your numbers in ascending order

2. Find the minimum and maximum

3. Find the median.

4. Find median in the lower half of the data, median upper half of

data.

5. Write down your summary found in the above steps.

Minimum value = 2.5 (obviously)

Maximum value = 10.5
