In a recent issue of the IEEE Spectrum, 84 engineering conferences were announced. Four conferences lasted two days. Thirty-six lasted three days. Eighteen lasted four days. Nineteen lasted five days. Four lasted six days. One lasted seven days. One lasted eight days. One lasted nine days. Let X = the length (in days) of an engineering conference.

a. Organize the data in a chart.

b. Find the median, the first quartile, and the third quartile.

c. Find the 65th percentile.

d. Find the 10th percentile.

e. Construct a box plot of the data.

f. The middle 50% of the conferences last from _______ days to _______ days.

g. Calculate the sample mean of days of engineering conferences.

h. Calculate the sample standard deviation of days of engineering conferences.

i. Find the mode.

j. If you were planning an engineering conference, which would you choose as the length of the conference: mean; median; or mode? Explain why you made that choice.

k. Give two reasons why you think that three to five days seem to be popular lengths of engineering conferences

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Data in chart

b. the median is 4, the first quartile 3, and the third quartile 5

c.4

d.3

e. box plot of the data.

f. 3-5days

g. 3.94

h. sample standard deviation of days of engineering conferences1.28

i. 3

j. Value of mode

k. The range of days should be the popular range of days

Step by step solution

01

introduction

The mean (normal) of an informational collection is found by adding all numbers in the informational index and afterwards separating them by the number of values in the set. The median is the middle value when an informational collection is requested from least to most noteworthy. The mode is the number that happens most frequently in an informational collection

02

explanation part (a)

Data in chart

X = days of engineering conference

f = number of engineering conference

03

explanation part (b) (1)

For finding the median,

we have

M=(n+1)2thobservation

M=(84+1)2th=42.5thobs

Now,

42.5thobs=43th+42th2obs4+42=4

The median is4

04

explanation part (b) (2)

Now, finding the first quartile

Q1=(n+1)4thobs

=(84+1)4th=21.25thobs

Q1=21.25thobservation=21th+22th21th4obs

Q1=3+334=3

the first quartile is 3

05

explanation part (b) (3)

finding the third quartile,

Q3=3(n+1)4th observation=3(84+1)4thobs

Q3=63.75thobservation=63th+3(64th63th)4obs

Q3=5+3(55)4=5

the third quartile is5

06

explanation part (c)

Percentile for an ungrouped data is

Pt=t(n+1)100th

For 65thpercentile,

P65=65(n+1)100th=65(84+1)100th=55.25thobs

P65=55th+0.25(56th55th)obs

P65=4+0.25(44)=4

The 65thpercentile is 4

07

explanation part (d)

For 10thpercentile,

P10=10(n+1)100thobs=(84+1)10thobs

P10=8.5thobs=8th+0.5(9th8th)obs

P10=3+0.5(33)=3

08

explanation part (e)

Box plot of the data

09

explanation part (f)

The area between the third quartile and first quartile is the range of middle 50%data.

hence, it will last from3-5days.

10

explanation part (g)

the sample mean of days of engineering conferences

Mean= x=fxf

=33184=3.94

11

explanation part (h)

The sample standard deviation of days of engineering conferences

sample standard deviation S,

S=f(xx)2f1

=136.7024841=1.28

12

explanation part (i)

Mode

The value of the observation which has the highest frequency is the mode.

Hence, mode=3

13

explanation part (j)

The value of mode would be chosen as the length of the conference since the maximum should be present during the conference.

Hence the length of the conference is3days

14

explanation part (k)

Three to five days seem to be popular lengths of engineering conferences as-

1. The range of days should be the popular length of days which is from 3-5days

since half of the data lies in this range.

2. within 3-5days 73conferences occurred. Hence the range of days should be the popular length of days
