Eastern vs. Western States’ Spending on K-12 Education in 2014

Using the data below, compare how much the states East of the Mississippi spend on their K-12 students with how much states West of the Mississippi spend on their K-12 students. Make sure to create a numerical display (make a picture!), describe each distribution (in terms of shape, center and spread) and answer the question: who spends more?

In order to solve this question I used R software.

R codes and output:

> east=c(9028,17745,13938,18485,8755,9202,13077,9548,9312,12707,14003,15087,11110,8263,14335,17907,20610,8512,11354,13961,14767,9732,8630,16988,10973,11260,11186)
> west=c(18416,7528,9616,9595,8985,12485,6621,10688,9972,10749,11464,9875,11017,11726,8414,9734,12358,7829,9945,8881,8593,6500,10202,15797)
> summary(east)

[1] 3515.675
> sd(west)
[1] 2662.431
> par(mfrow=c(1,2))
> hist(east)
> hist(west)

Numerical display of data:

> summary(east)
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
8263 9430 11350 12610 14550 20610
> summary(west)
Min. 1st Qu. Median Mean 3rd Qu. Max.
6500 8809 9910 10290 11130 18420

Here we see that eastern state has maximum average spend on their K-12 students compared to western state .

Mean spent by eastern state = 12610

Mean spent by western state = 10290

Shape of both distribution is positively skewed.

Mode of both the distribution is lies between 8000 to 10000.

Eastern state spend more amount than western states.
