Summary Of Tyler Amaro's Five-Number Survey

1. For the following scores, find the mean, median, and the mode. Which would be the most appropriate measure for this data set?

Since in a normal distribution, the curve is symmetrical, skewness can affect the accuracy to which normal distribution can be applied to a data set. To determine how close the distribution of the weight of the AFL population is to being normal, the degree of skewness was found as a large degree of skewness would reduce the practicality of applying normal distribution to the data set.

4. Give the mean for the median column of the Worksheet. Is this estimate centered about the parameter of interest (the parameter of interest is the answer for the mean in question 2)

1. By hand, compute the mean, median, and mode for the following set of 40 reading scores:

The mean for the median column of the worksheet is 3.6Yes, the estimate is centered about the parameter of interest.

12. For the following scores, find the mean, median, sum of squared deviations, variance, and standard deviation:

5. When is it more appropriate to use the median as a measure of center rather than the mean? Why?

Based on the given sample of student test scores of 50, 60, 74, 83, 83, 90, 90, 92, and 95 after rearranging them from least to greatest. As the mean is based on the average of sum, the average of this sample is 79.67 or 80. The mode refers to numbers that appear the most in a sequence and in this case 83 and 90 both appear twice. Range calculates the difference between the largest and smallest number, which are 95 and 50 which have a difference of 45. The variance is the difference between the sum of squares divided by the sample size, which is the number in the sample minus one (Hansen & Myers, 2012), meaning it takes each number of the set and subtracts

Indicating the individual number 65 gives a 5 point range to the mean. It seems the median is the most accurate way to discribe the data set, as it uneffected by the outlier value.

For the education data, I must say to calculate the median, from high school to college graduate, the median would be the some college portion since it would be the middle. The median for the experimental group would be 11 and 34.4% and for the control group it would be 15 and 41.7%.

In the film: “The Math Code: Numbers,” we start out in a creepy setting that immediately pulls the viewer in. Especially because this film is about numbers, the creepy settings gives the viewer a different impression. Professor Marcus de Sautoy explains how numbers represent the entire universe. In the film, viewers learn about many things. Marcus tells how numbers and ratios make up the Chartres Cathedral.

Elementary school students across the nation have encountered a statistical situation in one form or another without ever realizing it. Many students in elementary grades, as well as upper-level students, tend to avoid questions dealing with statistics. In the article, “Statistics in the Elementary Grades: Exploring Distributions of Data” authors Christine A. Franklin and Denise S. Mewborn provide teachers with a four step process to help students have a better understanding of statistics.

Based on the chart, the mean was calculated by adding up the sum of the list and divide 18, which the number of the total listed prices. The mean is 135,000, which mean the average of the listed price. Secondly, the median was calculated by listing the number in numerical order from lowest to highest and located the number in the middle 126,000. The median represents the middle number of the listed price. After calculating the median I located the minimum and maximum based the lowest and highest data, which are 48,000 and 338,000. These represent the range of the listed price. Lastly, I used the formula to get the

The data analysis focused mainly on the number of hours each participant in the study spent a week on Pinterest. From that data we were able to calculate the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation for both males and females, as shown in Table 1 in Appendix B below. The mean shows the average amount of hours for each gender that was spent on
