Dallas Mavericks. From the ESPN website, in the Dallas Mavericks Roster, we obtained the following ages, in years, for the players on that basketball team for the 2013-2014season.

Obtain the following parameters for these ages. Use the appropriate mathematical notation for the parameters to express your answers.

a. Mean

b. Standard deviation

c. Median

d. Mode

e. IQR

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The Mean is,μ=27.28

(b) The Standard deviation is,σ=5.1745

(c) The median is,η=25

(d) The mode is,

Mode=23,25

(e) TheIQR=8.5

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information 

We are given that,

The data set is, xi=25,24,31,36,23,32,23,25,27,30,28,38,23,20,21,35,24,25,23,35,25

No. of values are,

N=21

02

Part (a) Step 2: Simplify

We know that,

The mean is given as,

μ=∑xiN=25+24+31+36+....+25+23+35+2521=27.2857
03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find out the standard deviation.

04

Part (b) Step 2: Simplify 

We know that the standard deviation is the square root of variance which is given as,

TOTAL562.2857

The standard deviation is,

σ=TotalN=562.285721=5.1745

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find out the median of the data

06

Part (c) Step 2: Simplify 

Data in the ordered list is,

20,21,23,23,23,23,24,24,25,25,25,25,27,28,30,31,32,35,35,36,38

The median of the sorted list is the middle value of the list,

Therefore, median is,η=25

07

Part(d) Step 1: Given information  

We need to find out the mode of given data.

08

Part(d) Step 2: Simplify 

We know that mode is the most occurring value in the data set.

Therefore, mode is,23,25

09

Part (e) Step 1: Given information 

We need to find the value of IQR

10

Part (e) Step 2: Simplify 

As we know,

The first quartile is the median of data below the median,

Therefore,Q1=23+232=23

And the third quartile is the median of data above median,

Therefore,Q3=31+322=31.5

Hence, the interquartile range is,

IQR=Q3-Q1=31.5-23=8.5

STD Surveillance. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention compiles reported cases and rates of diseases in United States cities and outlying areas. In a document titled Sexually Transmitted Disease Surveillance, the number of reported cases of all stages of syphilis is provided for cities, including Orlando, Florida, and Cincinnati, Ohio. Following is the number of reported cases of syphilis for those two cities over the years 2007-2011.

a. Obtain the individual population means the number of cases for both cities.

b. Without doing any calculations, decide for which city the population standard deviation of the number of cases is smaller. Explain your answer.

c. Obtain the individual population standard deviations of the number of cases for both cities.

d. Are your answers to parts (b) and (c) consistent? Why or why not?

Atlantic Basin Hurricanes. The Tropical Cyclone Report, a publication of the National Hurricane Center, contains comprehensive information on each tropical cyclone, including synoptic history, meteorological statistics, casualties, and damages. A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with winds that have reached a constant speed of 74milesperhouror more. During one year, there were 10Atlantic basin hurricanes. Their maximum wind speeds, in miles per hour (mph), were as shown in the following table.


Consider these storms a population of interest. Obtain the following parameters for the maximum wind speeds. Use the appropriate mathematical notation for the parameters to express your answers.

a. Mean

b. Standard deviation

c. Median

d. Mode

e. IQR
