An experiment was conducted to determine whether a deficiency of carbon in the soil affects the phenotype of pass . Listed below are the phenotype codes where .

Solution

Here,

n = number of observations = 14

mean = sum of observations / total number of observations.

mean = 29 / 14 = 2.071429 = 2.1

Median procedure :

Arrange observations in ascending order.

n = 14 (even)

median = [ (n/2)th observation + (n/2 + 1)th observation ] / 2

n/2 = 14/2 = 7th observation

n/2 + 1 = 8th observation

median =[ 7th observation + 8th observation ] / 2

= ( 2 + 2 ) / 2 =2

mode is the most repeated value in the data set.

Mode = 2

because 2 occures 5 times.

Mode is 2.

All the measures of center make sense since the data is numerical.

Mid range = (maximum of data + minimum of data) / 2

Mid range = ( 4 + 1 ) / 2 = 5 / 2 = 2.5

Which of the following is not a characteristic of the mean.

the mean is sensitive to outliers.
