ANSWER THIS PROBLEM WITH SOLUTION

Solution

Let's solve the problem step-by-step.

Given Data:

The number of detergent bars sold daily by a grocery store over 10 days: 34,22,23,27,16,35,25,18,33,3734, 22, 23, 27, 16, 35, 25, 18, 33, 37

We need to find the following:

  1. Mean (average)
  2. Median (middle value)
  3. Mode (most frequent value)
  4. MAD (Mean Absolute Deviation)
  5. Variance
  6. Standard Deviation

1. Mean:

The mean is calculated by summing all the values and dividing by the number of observations.

Mean=(All Values)Number of Values=34+22+23+27+16+35+25+18+33+3710\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum \text{(All Values)}}{\text{Number of Values}} = \frac{34 + 22 + 23 + 27 + 16 + 35 + 25 + 18 + 33 + 37}{10}

Mean=27010=27\text{Mean} = \frac{270}{10} = 27

2. Median:

To find the median, we need to arrange the data in ascending order:

16,18,22,23,25,27,33,34,35,3716, 18, 22, 23, 25, 27, 33, 34, 35, 37

Since there are 10 values (even number), the median will be the average of the 5th and 6th values:

Median=25+272=26\text{Median} = \frac{25 + 27}{2} = 26

3. Mode:

The mode is the number that appears most frequently. In this dataset, all numbers appear only once, so there is no mode.

4. Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD):

MAD is calculated as the average of the absolute deviations from the mean.

First, calculate the absolute deviations:

3427=7,  2227=5,  2327=4,  2727=0,  1627=11|34 - 27| = 7, \; |22 - 27| = 5, \; |23 - 27| = 4, \; |27 - 27| = 0, \; |16 - 27| = 11 3527=8,  2527=2,  1827=9,  3327=6,  3727=10|35 - 27| = 8, \; |25 - 27| = 2, \; |18 - 27| = 9, \; |33 - 27| = 6, \; |37 - 27| = 10

Now, find the MAD:

MAD=7+5+4+0+11+8+2+9+6+1010=6210=6.2\text{MAD} = \frac{7 + 5 + 4 + 0 + 11 + 8 + 2 + 9 + 6 + 10}{10} = \frac{62}{10} = 6.2

5. Variance:

Variance is calculated as the average of the squared deviations from the mean.

First, calculate the squared deviations:

(3427)2=49,  (2227)2=25,  (2327)2=16,  (2727)2=0,  (1627)2=121(34 - 27)^2 = 49, \; (22 - 27)^2 = 25, \; (23 - 27)^2 = 16, \; (27 - 27)^2 = 0, \; (16 - 27)^2 = 121 (3527)2=64,  (2527)2=4,  (1827)2=81,  (3327)2=36,  (3727)2=100(35 - 27)^2 = 64, \; (25 - 27)^2 = 4, \; (18 - 27)^2 = 81, \; (33 - 27)^2 = 36, \; (37 - 27)^2 = 100

Now, find the variance:

Variance=49+25+16+0+121+64+4+81+36+10010=49610=49.6\text{Variance} = \frac{49 + 25 + 16 + 0 + 121 + 64 + 4 + 81 + 36 + 100}{10} = \frac{496}{10} = 49.6

6. Standard Deviation:

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance:

Standard Deviation=49.67.04\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{49.6} \approx 7.04

Final Answers:

  1. Mean: 27
  2. Median: 26
  3. Mode: None
  4. MAD: 6.2
  5. Variance: 49.6
  6. Standard Deviation: 7.04
