    The document contains 7 exercises involving calculating measures of central tendency and variability from data sets. Exercise 1 compares steel rod flexibility from two companies, calculating mean, median and plotting boxplots. Exercise 2 calculates mean, median, variance and coefficient of variation from paint drying time data. Exercise 3 determines which light bulb factory's bulbs are more consistent based on coefficient of variation. The remaining exercises involve calculating metrics like mean, median, mode, variance and quartiles from various data sets presented as distributions or raw values.

    Exercises 1.

    Exercise.1: In a study conducted by the Department of Civil Engineering at HTI Technology,


    the steel rods supplied by two different companies were compared. Ten sample springs were
    made out of the steel rods supplied by each company, and a measure of flexibility was recorded
    for each. The data are as follows:
    Company A: 9.3, 8.8, 6.8, 8.7, 8.5, 6.7, 8.0, 6.5, 9.2, 7.0
    Company B: 11.0, 9.8, 9.9, 10.2, 10.1, 9.7, 11.0, 11.1, 10.2, 9.6
    (a) Calculate the sample mean and median for the data for the two companies.
    (b) Plot the box plot of the two companies.
    (c) The steel rods of which company are more consistent from the point of view of flexibility?

    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.

    2) Calculate the median and variance for these data.
