Answer #1

( a ) Interquartile range :

The interquartile range is the difference between the third and first quartiles.

The third quartile is 57.5.

The first quartile is 36.5.

The interquartile range = 57.5 - 36.5 = 21.

The interquartile range of the data set is 21.

( b )  Mean :

Mean = sum of terms / number of terms

= 941/ 20

= 47.05

Mean = 47.05

( c )   standard deviation :

Create the following table.

data data-mean (data - mean)2
30 -17.05 290.7025
35 -12.05 145.2025
51 3.95 15.6025
65 17.95 322.2025
22 -25.05 627.5025
35 -12.05 145.2025
44 -3.05 9.3025
55 7.95 63.2025
30 -17.05 290.7025
50 2.95 8.7025
40 -7.05 49.7025
60 12.95 167.7025
64 16.95 287.3025
38 -9.05 81.9025
52 4.95 24.5025
68 20.95 438.9025
38 -9.05 81.9025
53 5.95 35.4025
62 14.95 223.5025
49 1.95 3.8025

Find the sum of numbers in the last column to get.

∑(xi−X bar )2= 3312.95

standard deviation = sqrt ( 3312.95 / 19 )

= 13.2048

standard deviation = 13.2048

( d ) coefficient of variation.= ( standard deviation / mean ) * 100

= (13.2048 / 47.05 ) * 100

= 28.07 %

coefficient of variation.= 28.07 %
