Math Problem Statement

Find the mean, median, mode, and population standard deviation for the dataset [19, 23, 25, 28, 30, 32, 33, 33].

Solution

The content of this uploaded file seems to be the same as the earlier one, asking to find the mean, median, mode, and population standard deviation for the provided dataset.

Let me recap the calculations with clear steps once again.


Dataset:

19,23,25,28,30,32,33,3319, 23, 25, 28, 30, 32, 33, 33

1. Mean:

Mean=Sum of all valuesNumber of values\text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of all values}}{\text{Number of values}} Sum=19+23+25+28+30+32+33+33=243\text{Sum} = 19 + 23 + 25 + 28 + 30 + 32 + 33 + 33 = 243 Mean=2438=30.4\text{Mean} = \frac{243}{8} = 30.4


2. Median:

The median is the middle value(s) when the dataset is ordered. Since N=8N = 8 (even), the median is the average of the 4th and 5th values: Median=4th value + 5th value2\text{Median} = \frac{\text{4th value + 5th value}}{2} Median=28+302=29.0\text{Median} = \frac{28 + 30}{2} = 29.0


3. Mode:

The mode is the value(s) that occurs most frequently:

  • 3333 appears twice, while all other values appear once. Mode=33\text{Mode} = 33

4. Population Standard Deviation:

The formula for population standard deviation is: σ=(xiμ)2N\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum{(x_i - \mu)^2}}{N}} Where:

  • xix_i = each data value,
  • μ\mu = mean,
  • N=8N = 8.

Step 1: Deviations from the mean (xiμx_i - \mu): μ=30.4\mu = 30.4

&19 - 30.4 = -11.4,\; 23 - 30.4 = -7.4,\; 25 - 30.4 = -5.4,\; 28 - 30.4 = -2.4, \\ &30 - 30.4 = -0.4,\; 32 - 30.4 = 1.6,\; 33 - 30.4 = 2.6,\; 33 - 30.4 = 2.6 \end{aligned}$$ **Step 2**: Square these deviations: $$(-11.4)^2 = 129.96,\; (-7.4)^2 = 54.76,\; (-5.4)^2 = 29.16,\; (-2.4)^2 = 5.76$$ $$(-0.4)^2 = 0.16,\; (1.6)^2 = 2.56,\; (2.6)^2 = 6.76,\; (2.6)^2 = 6.76$$ **Step 3**: Sum of squared deviations: $$129.96 + 54.76 + 29.16 + 5.76 + 0.16 + 2.56 + 6.76 + 6.76 = 235.88$$ **Step 4**: Divide by $$N = 8$$: $$\frac{235.88}{8} = 29.485$$ **Step 5**: Square root: $$\sigma = \sqrt{29.485} \approx 5.4$$ --- ### Final Answers: - **Mean**: $$30.4$$ - **Median**: $$29.0$$ - **Mode**: $$33$$ - **Population Standard Deviation**: $$5.4$$ Let me know if you need
