Problem A:

The occurrence of lung cancer among males vary between ages. The following is a data set on the ages

of lung cancer among males:

52 50 47 54 65 24 27 45 48 47 46 53

56 57 58 47 47 47 52 50 56 60 60 60

63 65 64 58 25 26 29 55 53 56 57 57

56 58 59 63 62 32 31 35 37 33 34 36

33 35 39

1. Construct a frequency distribution for this sample of ages of males with lung cancer and then plot the

histogram.

AGE FREQuENCY
24-30 5
31-37 9
38-44 1
45-51 10
52-58 16
59-65 10

2. Obtain the three measures of central tendencies: the mean, median and mode. Interpret each value

in relation to the problem.

Mean 48.22 48 is the average age of males with lung cancer.

Median 52 The age 52 is the middle value in the data set.
Mode 47 In the given data set, the age that appears most frequently is 47. It occurs 5 times.

3. Compute the standard deviation of the population. Interpret it in relation to the problem.

Standard Deviation (P) 11.954675 The standard deviation of population 11.95 indicates that
the data is widely spread out.
Problem B:

The following data set contains 50 observations on the average percentage of sales of a certain brand

product in CY 2009 for the 50 store outlets in the country.

62.5 44.8 75.4 70.1 33.1 43.8 55.6 83.2 71.8 32.1

42.7 57.9 81.9 72.4 31.8 37.5 63.2 77.4 33.9 30.3

48.7 39.4 67.9 42.8 66.5 51.6 31.5 64.8 53.9 57.3

45.4 30.2 87.5 54.6 63.8 38.2 63.4 66.8 52.3 80.9

37.3 64.7 62.8 55.6 85.6 36.5 72.4 60.5 47.3 87.2

1. Construct a frequency distribution for the sales percentage and then plot the histogram.

2. Obtain the three measures of central tendencies: the mean, median and mode. Interpret each value

in relation to the problem.

Mean 56.38 58 is the average percentage of the sales of the given data
Median 56.45 56.45 is the middle value in the data set
An average percentage of 72.4 frequently appeared in the
Mode 72.4 given data set.
3. Compute the standard deviation of the population. Interpret it in relation to the problem.

Standard Deviation (P) The standard deviation of population 16.83

16.82639 indicates that the data is widely spread out.

competencies on evidence-based practice skills, research skills, and information technology skills among

employees?

A. There is no significant relationship between the level of critical thinking skills and the level of

competencies on evidence-based practice skills, research skills, and information technology skills among
employees.
