3.1 Answer

a. Excell output:

X
Mean 6
Median 7
Mode #N/A
Standard Deviation 2.915476
Sample Variance 8.5
Range 7
Minimum 2
Maximum 9
Sum 30
Count 5
First Quartile 3
Third Quartile 8.5
Interquartile Range 8.5
Coefficient of Variation 48.5913%

Mean= 6 Median= 7 There is no Mode.

b. Range= 7 Variance= 8.5

Standard of Variation = 2.9 Coefficient of Variation= (2.915/6) • 100% = 48.6%

c. Z scores: 0.343, -0.686, 1.029, 0.686, -1.372

None of the Z scores is larger than 3.0 or smaller than –3.0. There is no outlier.

d. Since the mean is less than the median, the distribution is left-skewed.

3.81 Answer

The variables "gender” and "major” are categorical and cannot be summarized with boxplots

because boxplots are created using the data from numerical variables. Similarly, the mean is a

static computed or numerical variable so is not appropriate for the categorical variables "gender”

or "major". Pie charts are using for categorical variables, so they should not be created using data

from the numerical variables "grade point average” and "height".
