You have income data for your entire customer database. Some of your clients are far wealthier than others. Which of the following do outliers least affect?
a. The median
b. The range
c. The mean
d. The standard deviation
Correct option "A"
The median
Median is the imposition of the data so, it is not more affected if any data is far.

The accompanying data represent the miles per gallon of a random sample of cars with a three-cylinder, 1.0 liter engine. (a) Compute the z-score corresponding to the individual who obtained 43.7 miles per gallon. Interpret this result. (b) Determine the quartiles. (c) Compute and interpret the interquartile range, IQR. (d) Determine the lower and upper fences. Are there any outliers? E Click the icon to view the data. (a) Compute the z-score corresponding to the individual who obtained...
You
have a data set C1 and you do the following transformation using
statistical software: C2=C1/5
You find the mean, median and standard deviation of the
original C1 and the new C2 and compare them.
You must then answer the question pictured below. I assumed
"none of them" would be the answer since all three values changed
after the transformation, but that answer if wrong.
•If you shift the original data (C1) as follows: C3=C1+5 how
would you answer the...
As a customer walks into the branch office during the lunch hour, he asks the branch manager how long he can expect to wait. The branch manager replies, "Almost certainly less than 5 minutes." On the basis of the results of (a) through (c), evaluate the accuracy of this statement. Choose the correct response below. A. Since the mean and median are both greater than 5 minutes, the customer is likely to experience a waiting time in excess of 5...
You have collected data about the average age of participants in your study. You are delighted to find that the variable is normally distributed. If the mean age is 12 years and the standard deviation is 4 years. What is the median age for your subjects? 12 Greater than 12 years 8-16 years Unable to determine
Suppose you have a data set and the mean, median and the standard deviation are 10, 10 and 2, respectively. Someone multiplies all your data points by 3. Call these data the new data. The mean of the new data will be _______________________ The Median of the new data will be _______________________ The standard deviation of the new will be _______________________ The variance of the new will be _______________________––
The scenario is as follows You are an IO psychology researcher, and you have developed a new type of employee training program. You conduct an experiment in which you administer the training program to one group (treatment group) and do nothing to the other group (control group). You then give each group a task to complete. The training program was developed to improve performance on the experimental task; as a researcher, then, you expect the treatment group to perform better...
Your project will require you to develop a database design to
solve a real-life data management problem. It can be any problem in
your work environment or for another organization, for example, a
bookstore (think of how Amazon uses databases), a course management
system (think of how a university manages courses), a bank (think
of how your bank works), and an online auction site (think of how
Ebay works). You will develop a database to solve this problem
You will...
2) The graph below represents household income for the US population in the year 2005. The average (mean) income was $63,344 and the median income was $46,326. population standard deviation of $27,435. Assume a 112,363,000 households below $250,000 150000 Total 114,384,000 households 94 705 1250,000 a. Explain why the Empirical rule cannot be used for this data. Why would Chebyshev's rule be a good alternative? According to Chebyshev's rule, what income range would have at least the middle 75% of...
4- Variance and Standard deviation (how far the data values lie from the mean) The mean, mode, and median do a nice job in telling where the center of the data set is, but often we are interested in more. For example, a pharmaceutical engineer develops a new drug that regulates iron in the blood. Suppose she finds out that the average sugar content after taking the medication is the optimal level. This does not mean that the drug is...
