(15 pts) A sample of 7 northern pike from a lake had the following lengths (rounded to the nearest inch). Answer the following.
21 27 46 35 41 36 25
Find the sample mean
Find the sample standard deviation
Find the median
Find Q1 and Q3
Find the interquartile range
solution:-
given values are 21,27,46,35,41,36,25
sample mean = sum of terms / number of terms
= (21+27+46+35+41+36+25)/7
= 33
standard deviation = 9
median = 35
explanation:- Ordering the data from least to greatest
21 25 27 35 36 41 46
Q1:- 25
explanation :- The first quartile is the median of the bottom half of the numbersis the median of the bottom half of the numbers
=> 21 25 27 35 36 41 46
the bottom half is 21 25 27
Q3:- 41
explanation:- The third quartile is the median of the upper half of the number
=> 21 25 27 35 36 41 46
the upper half is 36 41 46
IQR :- 16
explanation:-
The interquartile range = 41 - 25 = 16
Q3 - Q1 = 41 - 25 = 16
