Solution

Let's go through each of the calculations step by step.

Given data:
8,9,11,12,7,16,23,13,18,14,5,88, 9, 11, 12, 7, 16, 23, 13, 18, 14, 5, 8
Standard deviation S=5S = 5.

1. Mean

The mean xˉ\bar{x} is calculated as the sum of all values divided by the number of values: xˉ=8+9+11+12+7+16+23+13+18+14+5+812\bar{x} = \frac{8 + 9 + 11 + 12 + 7 + 16 + 23 + 13 + 18 + 14 + 5 + 8}{12}

xˉ=14412=12\bar{x} = \frac{144}{12} = 12

Mean = 12


2. Median

To find the median, we first need to arrange the numbers in ascending order: 5,7,8,8,9,11,12,13,14,16,18,235, 7, 8, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 18, 23 Since there are 12 values (even number), the median is the average of the 6th and 7th values: Median=11+122=232=11.5\text{Median} = \frac{11 + 12}{2} = \frac{23}{2} = 11.5

Median = 11.5


3. Mode

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in the data. In this case, the number 8 appears twice.

Mode = 8


4. Range

The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values: Range=235=18\text{Range} = 23 - 5 = 18

Range = 18


5. Coefficient of Variation (C.V.)

The coefficient of variation is calculated as: C.V.=(Standard DeviationMean)×100\text{C.V.} = \left( \frac{\text{Standard Deviation}}{\text{Mean}} \right) \times 100 Given that the standard deviation S=5S = 5 and the mean xˉ=12\bar{x} = 12: C.V.=(512)×100=41.67%\text{C.V.} = \left( \frac{5}{12} \right) \times 100 = 41.67\%

Coefficient of Variation (C.V.) = 41.67%


6. Z18 (Z-score for the value 18)

The Z-score for a given value xx is calculated as: Zx=xxˉSZ_x = \frac{x - \bar{x}}{S} For x=18x = 18, xˉ=12\bar{x} = 12, and S=5S = 5: Z18=18125=65=1.2Z_{18} = \frac{18 - 12}{5} = \frac{6}{5} = 1.2

Z18 = 1.2
