In Exercises 21鈥28, use the same list of Sprint airport data speeds (Mbps) given for Exercises 17鈥20. Find the indicated percentile or quartile.

Q3

Short Answer

Expert verified

The data speed corresponding to the third quartile is equal to 3.8 Mbps.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

50 airport data speeds (in Mbps) are provided.

02

Conversion of quartile to value 

The third quartileis the same as the 75th percentile, that is,

Q3=P75

The value of the 75th percentile needs to be computed to compute the value corresponding to the third quartile.

A value in the given percentile is found using the given formula:

  • Find L=k100n.

Here, L is the locator of the value;

k is the percentile of the value;

n is the total number of values.

  • When L becomes a whole number, the Lthvalue and the next value are added and divided by 2. The resultant is the required data value.
  • When L becomes a decimal number, the value of L is rounded to the next whole number, and the resulting Lth value is the required data value.
03

Calculation

List all the values in increasing order and follow the steps.

  • Count the total number of values.
  • For k=75, compute the value of L.

Therefore,

L=k100n=7510050=37.538roundedtothenextwholenumber

The value corresponding to the 38th observation from the sorted data is 3.8 Mbps.

Therefore,the data speed corresponding to the third quartile is 3.8 Mbps.

Average The defunct website IncomeTaxList.com listed the 鈥渁verage鈥 annual income for Florida as $35,031. What is the role of the term average in statistics? Should another term be used in place of average?

In Exercises 37鈥40, refer to the frequency distribution in the given exercise and find the standard deviation by using the formula below, where x represents the class midpoint, f represents the class frequency, and n represents the total number of sample values. Also, compare the computed standard deviations to these standard deviations obtained by using Formula 3-4 with the original list of data values: (Exercise 37) 11.5 years; (Exercise 38) 8.9 years; (Exercise 39) 59.5; (Exercise 40) 65.4.

In Exercises 5鈥20, find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. Include appropriate units (such as 鈥渕inutes鈥) in your results. (The same data were used in Section 3-1, where we found measures of center. Here we find measures of variation.) Then answer the given questions.
