We have provided simple data sets for you to practice the basics of finding

(a) Population mean

(b) Population standard deviation

Data is1,9,8,4,3

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Population Mean(μ)=5

(b) Population Standard deviation(σ)= 3.033

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information 

We are given simple data set of1,9,8,4,3

We need to find population mean of given data

02

Part(a) Step 2: Simplify 

A population in statistics is a group of similar items or events that relate to a query or experiment.

Population Mean(μ)=∑xiN

xidenotes individual value

Ndenotes total population

μ=1+9+8+4+35μ=255=5

Hence, mean of given data is 5

03

Part (b) Step 1:Given Information

We are provided simple data having1,9,8,4,3

We need to find standard deviation of given population.

04

Part(b) Step 2: Simplify

We know standard deviation is square root of variance.

Formula of variance is

σ2=(x1-μ)2+...........+(xN-μ)2N

Where xidenotes ithvalue

μdenotes population mean

Ndenotes total population

Using above formula, Standard deviation is

σ=(1-5)2+(9-5)2+(8-5)2+(4-5)2+(3-5)25=42+42+32+12+225=3.033

Hence, population standard deviation of given data is3.033

The data set has 200observations and has mean 20and standard deviation 4. Approximately how many observations lie between 16and 24.

The Etruscans. Anthropologists are still trying to unravel the mystery of the origins of the Etruscan empire, a highly advanced Italic civilization formed around the eighth century B.C. in central Italy. Were they native to the Italian peninsula or, as many aspects of their civilization suggest, did they migrate from the East by land or sea? The maximum head breadth, in millimeters, of 70modern Italian male skulls and that of 84preserved Etruscan male skulls were analyzed to help researchers decide whether the Etruscans were native to Italy. The resulting data can be found on the WeissStats site. [SOURCE: N. Barnicot and D. Brothwell, "The Evaluation of Metrical Data in the Comparison of Ancient and Modern Bones." In Medical Biology and Etruscan Origins, G. Wolstenholme and C. O'Connor, cds., Littlc, Brown \& Co., 1959]

a. Mean b. median c. models

For the mean and the median, round each answer to one more decimal place than that used for the observations.

Amphibian Embryos. In a study of the effects of radiation on amphibian embryos titled "Shedding Light on Ultraviolet Radiation and Amphibian Embryos" L. Licht recorded the time it took for a sample of seven different species of frogs' and toads' eggs to hatch. The following table shows the times to hatch, in days.

6,7,11,6,5,5,11

Identify an advantage that the median and interquartile range have over the mean and standard deviation, respectively.

Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. According to the document Dietary Guidelines for Americans published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, for adults, a BMI of greater than 25indicates an above healthy weight (i.e., overweight or obese). The BMIs of 75randomly selected U.S. adults have a mean of 26.0and a standard deviation of 5.0

a. Construct a graph
b. Apply Chebyshev's rule with k=2 to make pertinent statements about the observations in the sample.
c. repeat part (b) with k=3
