Use the data to calculate the following:
a. Mean - 104.25b. Median – 104
c. Range – 35d. Q1 – 101
e. Q3 – 108.5f. IQR – 7.5
2. Create a boxplot of the data from question #1.
3. Answer the following questions using the box plot below.
a. Give the 5-number summary (approximate) of actors.
Min - 30
Q1 -37
Median - 43
Q3 - 50
Max - 76
b. Give the 5-number summary (approximate) of actresses.
Min – 22
Q1 – 33
Median – 35
Q3 – 42
Max – 49
c. Which distribution has the higher measure of center?
Actors
d. Which distribution has the higher ranger?
Actors
Module 4 Part 5
1. What is the notation (symbol) for the population standard deviation and population variance?
Population standard deviation – σ
Population variance – σ2
2. What is the notation (symbol) for the sample standard deviation and sample variance?
Sample standard deviation – s
Sample variance – s2
3. Let’s calculate the standard deviation by hand using a simple data set.
17, 12, 9, 5, 21, 14, 7, 11
Mean=17+12+9+5+21+14+7+118=968=12
a. Calculate the range of the data set.
Range = 21 – 5 = 16
Range = 16
b. Compute the standard deviation, by hand, using the table below.

c. Take the sum of the deviations squared column.
Sum = 49+25+9+1+0+4+25+81
Sum = 194
d. Take the sum you found in part (c) and divide it by the number of observations minus one (n–1).
s2=1947=27.7143
e. Finally, take the value from part (d) and take the square root. This gives you the sample standard deviation.
s=27.7143=5.2644
f. What is the value from part (d) called?
The sample standard deviation.
3. The following data set represents the weight of grams of a random sample of 50 plain M&M candies.
