In: Statistics and Probability
Collect the Data: Use a random number generator to generate 50 values between 0 and 1 (inclusive).
Theoretical Distribution In words, X = The theoretical distribution of X is X ~ U(0, 1). In theory, based upon the distribution X ~ U(0, 1), find μ = __________ σ = __________ 1st quartile = __________ 3rd quartile = __________ median = __________
Construct a box plot of the data. Be sure to use a ruler to scale accurately and draw straight edges. Do you notice any potential outliers? If so, which values are they? Either way, numerically justify your answer.
