Answer to Problem 2.33E

The range of the datais 42 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The data is,

    568951795882528852786975777271
    558753856193547680815986787177

Calculation:

The range of the data is,

  Range=9351=42

Thus, the range of the data is 42 .

Answer to Problem 2.33E

The standard deviation using range approximation is 10.5 .

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The data is,

    568951795882528852786975777271
    558753856193547680815986787177

Calculation:

The range of the data is,

  Range=9351=42

The standard deviation is,

  s=Range4=422.5=10.5

Thus, the standard deviation using range approximation is 10.5 .

    x=2145x2=158345

The variance is,

  s2=1n1[ x i 2 ( x ) 2n]=1301[158345460102530]=172.5689

The standard deviation is,

  s=172.5689=13.1

Thus, the standard deviation is 13.1 .

d.

To determine

To find: The proportion of the measurement lies within the two standard deviation.

d.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 2.33E

The proportion of the measurement lies within the two standard deviationis 95% and 99.7%

Explanation of Solution

Given information: The data is,

    568951795882528852786975777271
    558753856193547680815986787177

Calculation:

The interval is,

  (x¯±s)=71.5±13.1=(58.4,84.6)

The interval is,

  (x¯±2s)=71.5±2×13.1=(45.3,97.7)

The interval is,

  (x¯±3s)=71.5±3×13.1=(32.2,110.8)

According to the Empirical formula the percentage of values falling into the intervals are 95% and 99.7%

Thus, the proportion of the measurement lies within the two standard deviation is 95% and 99.7%
