Exercises 1.1: The of Which Are More Consistent From The Point of View of ?
Exercise.2: The following measurements were recorded for the drying time, in hours, of a
certain brand of latex paint.
3.4 2.5 4.8 2.9 3.6 2.8 3.3 5.6 3.7 2.8 4.4 4.0 5.2 3.0 4.8
Assume that the measurements are a simple random sample.
(a) Calculate the mean and median for these data.
(b) Calculate the variance and coefficient of variation.
(c) Plot the box plot.
(d) Compute the first and third quartiles
(e) Is the data is negative skewed?
Exercise.3: Life of bulbs produced by two factories A and B are given below:
The bulbs of which factory are more consistent from the point of view of length of life?
Since C.V. of factory B > C.V. of factory A ⇒Factory B has more variability which means bulbs
of factory A are more consistent.
Exercise.4: An engineering group receives email requests for technical information from sales
and service persons. The daily numbers for twelve days are 53, 55, 70, 58, 64, 58, 53, 69, 57,68,
58and 53.
a) Find the Mode, variance and Inter-quartile range of the data.
b) Construct the Box Plot. c) Compute the P30%
Exercise.5: An engineering group receives email request for the technical information from sales
and service persons. The daily numbers for 13 days are 17, 15, 19, 17, 16, 12, 17, 21, 19, 20, 16,
18, and 13.
1) Calculate the Mode and standard deviation.
2) Find the first quartile and third quartile
Exercise.6: The following data gives the marks for 16 students in the statistic exam
61 85 39 66 95 56 42 48
91 27 78 81 63 72 58 68
1) Display the following data as Stem and Leaf.
2) Find the inter-quartile range of the marks.
3) Calculate the Mode and Range.
Exercise.7: The following measurements were recorded for the drying time, in hours, of a
certain brand of latex paint: 3.4, 2.5, 4.8, 2.9, 3.6, 2.8, 3.3, 5.6, 3.7, 2.8, 4.4, 4.0, 5.2, 6.1, 3.0,
and 4.8. Assume that the measurements are a simple random sample.
1) Construct the Stem-and-Leaf chart.
550 - 650 10 8
650 - 750 22 60
750 - 850 52 24
850 - 950 20 16
950 - 1050 16 12
Exercise.3: Calculate the median and variance for the following frequency distribution
Class interval 0-6 6 – 12 12 - 18 18 – 24 24 - 30
Frequency 4 5 3 6 2
Represent the data as frequency polygon.
Exercise.5: The following frequency distribution reports the amount, in thousands dollar,
profited by 70 public factories of modification aluminums alloy undergoing development as
material for the next generation of aircraft.
Amount 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 80-90 90-100
( thousand $)
Frequency 5 13 17 22 10 3
Compute the median, third quartile and the coefficient of variation of the amount profited.
