ACTIVITY #5
Answer the following.
A. Using the data below, solve for the range, interquartile range, quartile deviation,
mean deviation, standard deviation, and variance.
Class interval Frequency
25 – 29 5
20 – 24 6
15 – 19 7
10 – 14 8
5–9 4
N 30
Range:
29+25 9+5
R=( )−( ) = 20 is the range

Interquartile Range:
Class f CF x fx |x-x̄| f|x- x̄| |x- x̄|2 f|x- x̄|2
interval
|x-17|
25-29 5 30 27 135 10 50 100 500
20-24 6 25 22 132 5 30 25 150
15-19 7 19 17 119 0 0 0 0
10-14 8 12 12 96 5 40 25 200
5-9 4 4 7 28 10 40 100 400
30 510 160 1250
To get the sample mean (x̄):
∑ 𝑓𝑥 510
= = 17 = x̄
∑𝑓 30
To get the interquartile range, compute the Q 1 and Q3 first:
7.5−4
Q1 = 9.5 +5 ( ) = 11.69

22.5−19
Q3 = 19.5 +5 ( ) = 22.42

IR = Q3 – Q1 = 22.42 – 11.69 = 10.73

Quartile Deviation:
𝑄3 − 𝑄1 22.42−11.69
QD = = = 5.37

Mean Deviation:
∑ f|x− x̄| 160
MD = = = 5.33
𝑁 30

Standard Deviation:
∑ f|x− x̄ |2 1250
SD = √ = √30−1 = 6.5653 or 6.57
𝑁−1

Variance:
Variance = s2 = 6.56532 = 43.1032 or 43.10

B. Kay and Ed’s results in a Grammar and a Speech tests among 100 pupils are in the
table below:
Grammar Speech
Kay 82 65
Ed 77 70
Mean 65 70
SD 15 10

a. In what subject did Kay perform poor? Speech

b. In what subject did Ed perform better? Grammar
c. Find the total standard score of each of the two students. Kay = 0.63 ;
Ed = 0.8
d. Who has the best overall performance in the tests? Ed
Solution:
82−65 65−70
Kay: zgrammar = = 1.13 ; zspeech = = -0.5 ; 1.13 + -0.5 = 0.63
15 10
77−65 70−70
Ed: zgrammar = = 0.8 ; zspeech = = 0 ; 0.8 + 0 = 0.8

 Minimum: 2

Maximum: 12

Median: 5

D. Assuming that the scores of Grade 11 students in Statistics and Probability in their
third quarter test are normally distributed with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of
5. If the z-score of a student is 2, find his raw score.

X = 𝜇 + 𝑧𝜎

X = 50 + (2) (5)

X= 50 + 10

X = 60 is his raw score

E. Based on a survey, the mean weekly allowance of the Grade 11 students of XYZ
University is Php750.00 with a standard deviation of Php100.00. Assuming that the
weekly allowance is normally distributed, what is the z-score of a student with a weekly
allowance of:
a. Php950.00
b. Php600.00
a. Php 950.00
𝑥− 𝜇 950−750
z= = =2
𝜎 100
b. Php 600.00
𝑥− 𝜇 600−750
z= = = -1.5
𝜎 100
