Solution

For the first set of dataFor the first set of

  • The standard deviation is approximately 10.410.4.
  • The range is 2424.

Now, let's calculate the range for the second set of dataFor the first set of

  • The standard deviation is approximately 10.410.4.
  • The range is 2424.

Now, let's calculate the range for the second set of

The data is: 25,70,63,55,85,66,21,28,87,75,84,21,45,47,65,35,37,32,50,46,40,41,93,1925, 70, 63, 55, 85, 66, 21, 28, 87, 75, 84, 21, 45, 47, 65, 35, 37, 32, 50, 46, 40, 41, 93, 19

For the second set of data, the range is 7474.

Here are some related questions you might find useful:

  1. How is the standard deviation calculated step-by-step?
  2. What is the difference between population standard deviation and sample standard deviation?
  3. How does range provide insights into data variability?
  4. What are other measures of dispersion besides range and standard deviation?
  5. How do outliers affect the standard deviation and range?

Tip: The range is highly sensitive to outliers, while the standard deviation provides a more comprehensive measure of data spread.
