Use the following scores for questions 1-3:
48, 95, 72, 24, 55
Questions 4-8 refer to the following situation:
A researcher measured self-reported anxiety symptoms for a sample of 5 participants. He recorded the total number of symptoms reported by each participant. The data on six subjects are as follows:
3, 5, 0, 2, 7, 4
Questions 9-17 refer to the following situation:
Here is the distribution of scores for two separate statistics courses. The first group is from the Fall term. The second group is from the Spring term. Calculate the means, ranges, variances, and standard deviations of each group. Lastly, tell me in words what the numbers are telling us about the data.
Fall: 86, 91, 69, 78, 72, 82, 61, 81
Spring: 70, 92, 85, 77, 65, 88, 80, 72
9. Calculate the mean for the Fall. __________
10. Calculate the mean for the Spring. __________
11. Calculate the range for the Fall. __________
12. Calculate the range for the Spring. __________
13. Calculate the variance for the Fall. __________
14. Calculate the variance for the Spring. __________
15. Calculate the standard deviation for the Fall. __________
16. Calculate the standard deviation for the Spring. __________
17. In your own words, what do the different standard deviations between the Fall and Spring stats courses indicate?
