Math Problem Statement
Consider these sample data: x 1=14, x 2=3, x 3=6, x 4=19. a. Find n. b. Compute Summation from nothing to nothing x Subscript i∑xi. c. Determine x overbarx.
Solution
Given the sample dataGiven the sample , , , and , let's compute each part step by step.
a. Find
is the number of data points in the sample. In this case, there are four values: .
So, .
b. Compute
The summation means the sum of all the data points:
So, .
c. Determine (the mean)
The mean is the sum of all the data points divided by the number of data points :
So, the mean .
Final Answers:
a.
b.
c.
Do you need further clarification or more details? Here are five related questions to expand on this:
- What would happen to the mean if another data point was added?
- How is the summation symbol used in other statistical calculations?
- Can the mean alone describe a data set completely?
- What is the relationship between the mean and the median in this data?
- How do outliers affect the mean?
Tip: When computing the mean, always verify the number of data points to ensure accuracy.
