ToothGrowth is a built-in R dataset. The ToothGrowth data frame gives the length of odontoblasts (cells responsible for tooth growth) in 60 guinea pigs. We are interested in some descriptive statistics related to the len column of ToothGrowth. We can access the data directly by using the assignment x <- ToothGrowth$len (In R use ?ToothGrowth for info on this dataset.) The values of ToothGrowth$len or x if defined as above are: 1] 4.2, 11.5, 7.3, 5.8, 6.4, 10.0, 11.2, 11.2, 5.2, 7.0, 16.5, 16.5, 15.2, 17.3, 22.5, 17.3 [17] 13.6, 14.5, 18.8, 15.5, 23.6, 18.5, 33.9, 25.5, 26.4, 32.5, 26.7, 21.5, 23.3, 29.5, 15.2, 21.5 [33] 17.6, 9.7, 14.5, 10.0, 8.2, 9.4, 16.5, 9.7, 19.7, 23.3, 23.6, 26.4, 20.0, 25.2, 25.8, 21.2 [49] 14.5, 27.3, 25.5, 26.4, 22.4, 24.5, 24.8, 30.9, 26.4, 27.3, 29.4, 23.0 It is highly recommended that you get your values for x from the assignment defined above above and not from copying the above printout of the data.

Question

ToothGrowth is a built-in R dataset. The ToothGrowth data frame gives the length of odontoblasts (cells responsible for tooth growth) in 60 guinea pigs. We are interested in some descriptive statistics related to the len column of ToothGrowth. We can access the data directly by using the assignment x <- ToothGrowth$len (In R use ?ToothGrowth for info on this dataset.)

The values of ToothGrowth$len or x if defined as above are:
1] 4.2, 11.5, 7.3, 5.8, 6.4, 10.0, 11.2, 11.2, 5.2, 7.0, 16.5, 16.5, 15.2, 17.3, 22.5, 17.3
[17] 13.6, 14.5, 18.8, 15.5, 23.6, 18.5, 33.9, 25.5, 26.4, 32.5, 26.7, 21.5, 23.3, 29.5, 15.2, 21.5
[33] 17.6, 9.7, 14.5, 10.0, 8.2, 9.4, 16.5, 9.7, 19.7, 23.3, 23.6, 26.4, 20.0, 25.2, 25.8, 21.2
[49] 14.5, 27.3, 25.5, 26.4, 22.4, 24.5, 24.8, 30.9, 26.4, 27.3, 29.4, 23.0


It is highly recommended that you get your values for x from the assignment defined above above and not from copying the above printout of the data.


Calculate the sample variance of x.
Calculate the sample standard deviation of x.
What proportion of the x values are within 1 sample standard deviation from the sample mean
 Calculate the range of x. (one number)
What number do you get if you sum the squares of the values in x?
