Given the following sot of population data find the moan 461
Solution
Q3.
Mean = Sum of observations/ No.of Observations = (4+6+1+2+8+7+2)/7 = 4.286
d. U = 4.286
Q4.
Step 1:Add them up:
5 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 13 + 15 = 60
Step 2: Square your answer:
60 × 60 = 3600
…and divide by the number of items. We have 6 items in our example so:
3600 / 6 = 600
Set this number aside for a moment.
Step 3: Take your set of original numbers from Step 1, and square them individually this time:
5^2 + 8^2 + 9^2 + 10^2 + 13^2 + 15^2 = 664
Step 4: Subtract the amount in Step 2 from the amount in Step 3.
664 – 600 = 64
Set this number aside for a moment.
Step 5: Subtract 1 from the number of items in your data set. For our example:
6 – 1 = 5
Step 6: Divide the number in Step 4 by the number in Step 5. This gives you the variance:
64 / 5 = 12.8
How to find the sample variance and standard deviation: Standard Deviation
Step 7: Take the square root of your answer from Step 6. This gives you the standard deviation:
12.8 = 3.578
