We have provided simple data sets for you to practice finding the descriptive measures discussed in this section. For each data set.

Obtain the quartiles, determine the inter quartile range, find the five-number summary.

1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4

Short Answer

Expert verified

The value of least value is 1,

The first quartile isQ1=1.5, The second quartile is Q2=2.5, And the third quartile Q3=3.5

The value of highest value is 4

The value of Inter quartile is2

The boxplots is given below

Step by step solution

01

Given information

We have been given that

1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4

Now we find quartiles, inter quartiles and five number summary

02

Explanation

The known data is arranged in ascending order is,

1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4

The least value, also known as the minimum, is a descriptive statistics that represents the smallest

Number within the data set,

So, Least value=1

The lower quartiles, also known as Q1is a deceptive statistics that represents the number in the

Middle of the lower half of the data set,

So, localid="1650714876470" Q1=1.5

The median, also known as localid="1650965404186" Q2, is a deceptive statistics that represents the number in the middle

Of all the data within the data set,

Medianlocalid="1650965549624" =2+32=2.5

The upper quartile, also known asQ3, is deceptive statistics that represents the number in the

Upper half of the data set,

Q3=3.5

The upper extreme, also known as the maximum, is a descriptive statistics that represent the

Largest number within the data set.

Highest value=4

03

Find inter quartile and draw Boxplots

The range of values that resides in the middle of the scores,
Interquartile=Q3-Q1

⇒Q3-Q1=3.5-1.5=2

Now we draw a Boxplots,

Age of U.S. Residents. The U.S. Census Bureau collects information about the ages of people in the United States. Results are published in Current Population Reports

a. Identify the variable and population under consideration.

b. A sample of six U.S. residents yielded the following data on ages (in years). Determine the median of these age data. Decide whether this descriptive measure is a parameter or a statistic, and use statistical notation to express the result.


c. By consulting the most recent census data, we found that the median age of all US residents is 37.2yrs. Decide whether that descriptive measure is a parameter or a statistic and use statistical notation to express the result

Explain why minimum and maximum observations are added to the three quartiles to describe better the variation in a data set.

Hospital Stays. The U.S. National Center for Health Statistics compiles data on the length of stay by patients in short-term hospitals and publishes its findings in Vital and Health Statistics, A random sample of 21 patients yielded the following data on length of stay, in days.

a. obtain and interpret the quartiles.

b. determine and interpret the interquartile range.

c. find and interpret the five-number summary:

d. identify potential outliers, if am:

e. construct and interpret a boxplot.

Each of the following smooth curves represents the shape of a data set. In each case, decide whether application of the empirical rule to the data set is appropriate. Explain your answers.

Determine the age and sample standard deviation for each of the due sets. For the sample standard deviation round each answer to one more decimal place than that used for the observation.
