STAT 6111- Statistic

 Data setelah di urutkan = 0.7 0.8 1.5 1.6 1.8 1.9 2.5 3.5 3.7 5
a. Mean = (5.0 + 0.8 + 1.8 + 1.9 + 2.5 + 3.7 + 3.5 + 1.6 + 1.5 + 0.7) / 10
= 23/10
= 2.3
Median = (1.8 + 1.9) / 2
= 3.7 / 2
= 1.85
b. Standard deviation = √(0.7-2.3)² + (0.8-2.3)² + (1.5-2.3)² + (1.6-2.3)² + (1.8-2.3)²
+ (1.9-2.3)² + ( 2.5-2.3)² + (3.5-2.3)² + (3.7-2.3)² + (5-2.3)² / 10
= √ (2.56 + 2.25 + 0.64 + 0.49 + 0.25 + 0.16 + 0.04 + 1.44 + 1.96 + 7.29) /10
= √17.08 /10
= √1.708

Varians = (√1.708)²
= 1.708
c. Perusahaan yang menyediakan dividen tertinggi adalah Altria Group
