Question

A study was conducted on the average commuting distance of students at College. The study found that the first sample of thirty students has an average commute of 23.1 miles with a sample standard deviation of 12.47 miles. The commuting mileages for a second sample of 30 students are below.

a) find the mean, median, and mode for the second sample of students

b) find the range, variance, and standard deviation for the second sample of students.

c) use the mean and standard deviation from each data set to illustrate the standard deviation.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.
