In: Statistics and Probability
Use technology to compute summary statistics (mean, SD, and five number summary) for the lead levels data from problem 4.
Here are the data:

What lead level is the 50th percentile?
What’s the average lead level?
On average, how far are the lead levels from the mean lead level?
What is these lead levels’ interquartile range?

All the Mean,S.D,MIN, MAX, , , and are calculated using EXCEL.
After typing the given value in column B; from B2 to B17; with following commands we will get those values.
COMMANDS:
To get Mean; =AVERAGE(B2:B17)
To get S.D; =STDEV.P(B2:B17)
To get Minimum Value; =MIN(B2:B17)
To get Maximum Value: =MAX(B2:B17)
To get ; =QUARTILE.EXC(B2:B17,1)
To get : =QUARTILE.EXC(B2:B17,2)
To get ; =QUARTILE.EXC(B2:B17,3)
To get ; =PERCENTILE.EXC(B2:B17,0.5)

0.12 | -0.0225 | |
TOTAL | 0.0000 | |
AVERAGE | 0.1425 |
Therefore
On an Average lead levels from the mean lead level is Zero.
