QUESTION 2

40, 35, 29, 43, 41, 38, 32, 30, 38, 25, 38, 40

a) mean

40+35+29+ 43+ 41+ 38+32+30+38+25+38+ 40

=

= 35.75

b) Mode 40, 35, 29, 43, 41, 38, 32, 30, 38, 25, 38, 40
Thus, 25,29,30,32,35,38,38,38,40,40,41,43
Since 38 is get 3 time in this observations, so the mode is 38.

25,29,30,32,35,38,38,38,40,40,41,43
⸫ Q1 is positioned between 3rd and 4th, and it is 0.25 above the 3rd position. 

e) Third quartile

3
Q1 position = ( 12+1 )
4
= 9.75 = 9 + 0.75
Q3

25,29,30,32,35,38,38,38,40,40,41,43
⸫ Q3 is positioned between 9th and 10th, and it is 0.75 above the 9th position. 

f) Inter quartile range

IQR = Q1-Q2 = 9.75-3.25 = 6.5 = 6 + 0.5

IQR

25,29,30,32,35,38,38,38,40,40,41,43
⸫ IQR is positioned between 6th and 7th, and it is 0.5 above the 6th position.

QUESTION 2

a) Given :
μ=500 (mean)
σ=100 (standard deviation)

 Azhari does better than what percentage?

 Azhari got 585 marks

So, need to find how many students got less than 585
x<585 (find the probability)

converting the problem in standard form

Z=(x−μ)/σ
for x=585
Z=(585−500)/100=0.85
P(Z<0.85)=P(Z<0)+P(0<Z<0.85)
P(Z<0)=0.5
P(0<Z<0.85)=0.3023 (from Z- table)
Thus, the total probability=0.5+0.3023=0.8023

⸫ Azhari got more than 80.23% of other students

b) Given:
μ=50 (mean)
σ=15 (standard\ deviation)

To find the probability for 50<x<70

converting the problem in standard form

(x−μ)
Z=
σ

for x=50,
Z=0

for x=70,
Z=(70−50)/15=1.33

for finding the probability for 50<x<70

In the standard form 0<z<1.33

⸫ using Z-table, the area is equal to 0.4082
