    PART B: Numerical Data Analysis


    Standard Deviation
    The Standard Deviation is a measure of how spread out numbers are.

    The symbol for Standard Deviation is σ (the Greek letter sigma).

    This is the formula for Standard Deviation:

    Q1. Find the mean and standard deviation of the following:


    a) 19, 13, 15, 25, and 18
    Rearrange: 13, 15, 18, 19, 25

    3|Page
    b) 19, 13, 15, 25, and 78
    Rearrange: 13, 15, 18, 19, 78
    Mean
    (a) (19 + 13 + 15 + 25 +18)/5 = 18
    (b) (19 + 13 + 15 + 25 +78)/5 = 30
    SD
    (a) Sqrt(1/5*[(19-18)2 + (13-18)2 + (15-18)2 + (25-18)2 + (18-18)2]) = 4.1
    (b) Sqrt(1/5*[(19-30)2 + (13-30)2 + (15-302 + (25-30)2 + (78-30)2]) = 24.35
    Are the results sensitive to outliers?
    Yes, outliers can affect the mean and SD. However, it does not affect the median.

    Q2. Find the median and mode of the following:


    a) 15, 21, 26, 25, 21, 23, 25, 28, 21
    b) 12, 15, 18, 26, 15, 9, 12, 27
    c) 12, 15, 18, 26, 17, 19, 22, 27

    (a) 15, 21, 21, 21, 23, 25, 25, 26, 28 (odd number of scores)
    Median = 0.5 * 9 = 4.5 = 5th score = 23
    Mode = 21

    (b) 9, 12, 12, 15, 15, 18, 26, 27 (even number of scores)
    Median = 0.5 * 8 = 4 = average of 4th and 5th score = (15+15)/2 = 15
    Mode = 12 and 15 (bimodal

    (c) 12, 15, 17, 18, 19, 22, 26, 27 (even number of scores)
    Median = 0.5 * 8 = 4 = average of 4th and 5th score = (18+19)/2 = 18.5
    Mode = no mode.

    Q3. Suppose that a sample of health data for analysis includes the attribute age.

    The age values for the data tuples are as follows:

    13, 52, 46, 16, 45, 20, 20, 21, 40, 22, 35, 25, 35, 25, 70, 33, 33, 25, 35, 25, 35, 36, 22, 19, 16,
    15, 30

    Rearranged:
    13, 15, 16, 16, 19, 20, 20, 21, 22, 22, 25, 25, 25, 25, 30, 33, 33, 35, 35, 35, 35, 36, 40, 45, 46, 52,
    70.

    (a) What is the mean of the data?


    The (arithmetic) mean of the data:
    Sum of the ages = 809
    Number of ages = 27
    The mean of the data = 809 / 27 = 30
    (b) What is the median?
    Median: = 0.5 * 27 = 13.5 = 14th score = 25

    4|Page
    (c) What is the mode of the data? Comment on the data's modality (i.e., bimodal,
    trimodal, etc.).
    This data set has two values that occur with the same highest frequency and is, therefore,
    bimodal.
    The modes (values occurring with the greatest frequency) of the data are 25 and 35.

    (d) What is the range of the data?


    The range (range = max - min) of the data is: 70 – 13 = 57

    (e) Find the first quartile (Q1) and the third quartile (Q3) of the data?
    Rearranged:
    13, 15, 16, 16, 19, 20, 20, 21, 22, 22, 25, 25, 25, 25, 30, 33, 33, 35, 35, 35, 35, 36, 40, 45,
    46, 52, 70.

    LQ: = 0.25 * 27 = 6.75 = 7th score = 20


    UQ: = 0.75 * 27 = 20.25 = 21st score = 35

    (f) Give the five-number summary of the data.


    Median – 25
    LQ – 20
    UQ – 35
    Max – 70
    Min - 13

    (g) Construct a box and whisker plot

    5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80

    (h) Find the IQR (Inter-Quartile Range)


    IQR = UQ - LQ = 35 – 20 = 15
    (i) Find any outliers. Explain your answers
    Note that the five number summary of a distribution consists of the minimum value, first
    quartile, median value, third quartile, and maximum value.
