Dataset; {0, 1, 2, 3, 32, 33, 34}
In this dataset, median = (n+1)/2th term
= (7 + 1)/2 th term
= 4th term
= 3
When the smallest observation is deleted, dataset is {1, 2, 3, 32, 33, 34}
Median = (6+1)/2th term
= 3.5th term
= (3rd term + 4th term)/2
= (3 + 32)/2
= 17.5
The median have increase multiple folds when the smallest observation was deleted.

Consider a data set of n distinct measurements. If the smallest number were decreased, what would be the effect on the median and mean? The mean would not change. increase decrease. be impossible to be determined. The median would not change. increase. decrease. be impossible to be determined.
QUESTION 1 Which of the following statements is TRUE for a set of data which has a skewed distribution? Oa The median is the average of the Ob. The interquartile range is one half of Oc. The mean always lies between the Od. The median partitions the set of data smallest and the largest observation the range median and the mode into two equal parts QUESTION2 The distribution of the distance travelled by 35 people from an outer Brisbane suburb...
uestion 19 Which of the following divides a given set of observations (data) into three parts after rranging the data in increasing order? O Mean O Median O Interquartile Range Standard Deviation Ne Previous
The mean in a data set is obtained by: a. calculating the coefficient of variation of the observed values in the data set. b. selecting the value/s in the data set with the highest frequency. c. adding all of the observation values in the data set and dividing the total by the number of observations. d. arranging the observations in ascending or descending order, then selecting the middle value. e. calculating the difference between the largest and smallest values in...

If most of the prices in a large data set are of approximately the same magnitude except for a few observations that are quite a bit larger, how would the mean and median of the data set compare and what shape would a histogram of the data set have? A.The mean would be larger than the median and the histogram would be skewed with a long right tail. B. The mean would be smaller than the median and the histogram...
52.1 Three primary statistics are used to describe a variable's central tendency, defined as the average behavior of the variable. You can use these statistics, known as the mean, the median, and the mode, to draw meaningful conclusions about a variable's past behavior and to predict its future behaviar An investor is considering a stock with the following returns over the past 12 years: Year Annual Return Year Annual Return 12 10 12 The mean, also known as the arithmetic...
You have been asked to calculate the Pearson’s correlation coefficients for the variables of a data set. The data set consists of a number of variables and a number of observations of those variables. Discuss how you might improve the computational performance of Pearson’s correlation on this data set if it consists of a) a large number of observations and a small number of variables, and b) a large number of variables and a small number of observations
Define the following terms, in your own words: Mean, Median, Mode, Range, and Standard deviation. 2. Create and post an example that has a data set of 15 to 25 numbers, similar to the example in the Introduction above. Do not find the mean, median, mode, range and standard deviation of your data set.
You are presented with a data-set containing 6 observations, and wish to cluster them using hierarchal clustering. A similarity function s(x,x') is chosen which measures how similar observation r is to observation ', for each pair of observations. The distance function is then defined as d(x, x)-1- s(x,') The similarity scores are give by the below matrix, where the [ijlth entry is the similarty between observations r and a 123456 11.00 0.70 0.65 0.40 0.20 0.05 2 0.70 1.00 0.95...
