Step 1: Find the sample mean (x-bar)

Sum up all the ages:

30 + 36 + 37 + 47 + 32 + 61 + 36 + 35 + 40 + 62 + 38 + 29 + 41 + 21 + 45 + 35 + 42 + 43 + 60 +
43 + 33 + 41 + 45 + 28 + 37 + 51 + 32 + 37 + 31 + 26 + 49 + 30 + 76 + 48 + 45 + 38 + 74 + 33 +
39 + 29 + 39 + 44 + 60 + 45 + 33 + 44 + 34 + 61 + 50 + 22 + 32 + 46 + 39 + 32 + 80 + 26 + 62 +
55 + 42 + 40 = 2417

Divide the sum by the number of data points (60):

2417 / 60 = 40.283

The sample mean (x-bar) is 40.283.

Step 2: Find the sample standard deviation (s)

Calculate the deviations from the sample mean:

x_i - x-bar
30 - 40.283 = -10.283
36 - 40.283 = -4.283
... (calculate the deviations for all data points)

Square the deviations:

(-10.283)^2 = 105.824
(-4.283)^2 = 18.325
... (square the deviations for all data points)

Sum up the squared deviations:

105.824 + 18.325 + ... (sum up all the squared deviations) = 22182.808

Divide the sum by (n-1) (where n is the number of data points, 60):
22182.808 / 59 = 376.820

Take the square root of the result:

√376.820 = 19.407

The sample standard deviation (s) is 19.407.

Step 3: Find the sample variance (s^2)

The sample variance can be calculated by squaring the sample standard deviation:
19.407^2 = 376.820

The sample variance (s^2) is 376.820.

Step 4: Find the range

The range is determined by subtracting the smallest age from the largest age in the data
30 36 37 47 32 61 36 35 40 62 38 29 41 21 45 35 42 43 60 43 33 41 45 28 37 51 32 37 31 26 49
30 76 48 45 38 74 33 39 29 39 44 60 45 33 44 34 61 50 22 32 46 39 32 80 26 62 55 42 40

Smallest age = 21
Largest age = 80

Range = Largest age - Smallest age

Range = 80 - 21
Range = 59

The range is 59.

b. Assume that the population of the above data is bell-shaped, use the sample mean and sample
standard deviation from part a and construct the Empirical Rule diagram for the data. Make sure
to label the ages for within one, two, three standard deviations and percentages.

The Empirical Rule (also known as the 68-95-99.7 Rule) states that for a bell-shaped population,
approximately:

- 68% of data points fall within one standard deviation of the mean
- 95% of data points fall within two standard deviations of the mean
- 99.7% of data points fall within three standard deviations of the mean

Using the sample mean (40.283) and sample standard deviation (19.407) from part a, we can
construct the Empirical Rule diagram:

One standard deviation from the mean:

Within one standard deviation of the mean (40.283 +/- 19.407):
- Ages between 20.876 and 59.690 (40.283 - 19.407 and 40.283 + 19.407)
- Approximately 68% of data points fall within this range

Two standard deviations from the mean:

Within two standard deviations of the mean (40.283 +/- 2 * 19.407):
- Ages between 1.469 and 79.097 (40.283 - 2 * 19.407 and 40.283 + 2 * 19.407)
- Approximately 95% of data points fall within this range

Three standard deviations from the mean:

Within three standard deviations of the mean (40.283 +/- 3 * 19.407):
- Ages between -17.938 and 98.

997 (40.283 - 3 * 19.407 and 40.283 + 3 * 19.407)

- Approximately 99.7% of data points fall within this range

c. Determine about 68% of Academy Award winners will be between what ages?
From the Empirical Rule, we know that approximately 68% of data points fall within one
standard deviation of the mean. Therefore, about 68% of Academy Award winners will be
between ages 20.876 and 59.690.
Therefore, about 68% of Academy Award winners will be between ages 20.876 and 59.690.
