(a) Construct a relative frequency histogram to describe the data.
(10 pts) (b) Find: the
median m (5 pts), the sample mean ¯x (5 pts), the sample standard
deviation s (5 pts), the
upper and lower quartiles (10 pts), the 37-th percentile (5 pts).
(c) Apply Tchebisheff’s
Theorem in order to estimate the proportion of measurements that
lie in the interval
[¯x − (1.5)s, ¯x + (1.5)s] (10 pts).

| x | frequency(f) | relative frequency(rf) | cumulative frequency(c.f.) | fx |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 2/25 | 2 | 2 | 51.6128 |
| 2 | 1 | 1/25 | 3 | 2 | 16.6464 |
| 3 | 4 | 4/25 | 7 | 12 | 37.9456 |
| 4 | 1 | 1/25 | 8 | 4 | 4.3264 |
| 5 | 4 | 4/25 | 12 | 20 | 4.6656 |

| 12 | 2 | 2/25 | 24 | 24 | 70.0928 |
| 15 | 1 | 1/25 | 25 | 15 | 79.5664 |
a) Histogram
b) N=25
N/2=12.5
c.f. greater than 12.5 is 16 corresponding to x=6. Thus, median is 6.
N/4=6.25 ; cf greater than 6.25 is 7 which corresponds to x=3. Thus, lower quartile(Q1) = 3
3N/4=18.75; cf greater than 18.75 is 20 which corresponds to x=8. Thus, upper quartile(Q3) = 8
37N/100=9.25; cf greater than 9.25 is 12 which corresponds to x=5. Thus, 37-th percentile(P37) = 5
c) Tchebisheff's theorem is 
Thus, k=1.5
Substituting these values in tchebisheff's inequality, we get

1) Use three arguments to explain the character of the shape of
the distribution.
2) Determine the presence of outliers in either bound of the
distribution by the Fences Criterion.
3) Determine the presence of outliers in either bound using the
Z-scores criterion.
4) Summarize data in general.

Each column represents a different treatment given to sick rats.
Each cell is a different rat. Use statistical analysis and use post
hoc testing using contrasts to find the best
treatment.
Treatment 1: vitamins
Treatment 2: prescription pills
Treatment 3: brain surgery
Treatment 4: shock therapy
Treatment 5: dietary changes
