Math Problem Statement

Look up the number of points scored in each game by a basketball player (you select the player you want to use). Use data from a one-month period within any season, with at least 10 games. Then repeat for either a different player or the same player but in a different season. Complete statistical calculations, including minimum, Q1, median, Q3, maximum, range, IQR, and outlier analysis, and draw a boxplot for each dataset.

Solution

I see you've uploaded a worksheet that involves collecting and analyzing basketball data (points scored in each game) to perform statistical calculations. Here's the approach we can take to solve it:

Steps to Complete the Table

  1. Data Input: Use the points listed in the first dataset for calculations:

    • 33,27,18,20,42,25,31,19,21,27,21,25,26,42,33,26,24,2833, 27, 18, 20, 42, 25, 31, 19, 21, 27, 21, 25, 26, 42, 33, 26, 24, 28.
  2. Calculations:

    • Minimum: The smallest value in the data.
    • Q1 (First Quartile): Median of the lower half of the data.
    • Median: Middle value when the data is sorted.
    • Q3 (Third Quartile): Median of the upper half of the data.
    • Maximum: The largest value in the data.
    • Range: MaximumMinimum\text{Maximum} - \text{Minimum}.
    • IQR (Interquartile Range): Q3Q1\text{Q3} - \text{Q1}.
    • Outlier Boundaries:
      • Lower: Q11.5×IQRQ1 - 1.5 \times \text{IQR}.
      • Upper: Q3+1.5×IQRQ3 + 1.5 \times \text{IQR}.
    • Identify outliers if any values fall outside these boundaries.
  3. Visualization:

    • Create a box plot for the dataset.

I’ll start by organizing and calculating for Dataset 1. Hold on.import numpy as np import pandas as pd

Dataset 1: Jaylen Brown's points in games

dataset1 = [33, 27, 18, 20, 42, 25, 31, 19, 21, 27, 21, 25, 26, 42, 33, 26, 24, 28]

Sorting the data

dataset1_sorted = sorted(dataset1)

Calculating statistics for Dataset 1

min_value = np.min(dataset1_sorted) max_value = np.max(dataset1_sorted) median = np.median(dataset1_sorted) q1 = np.percentile(dataset1_sorted, 25) q3 = np.percentile(dataset1_sorted, 75) range_value = max_value - min_value iqr = q3 - q1 iqr_1_5 = 1.5 * iqr

Calculating outlier boundaries

lower_outlier_boundary = q1 - iqr_1_5 upper_outlier_boundary = q3 + iqr_1_5

Identifying outliers

low_outliers = [x for x in dataset1_sorted if x < lower_outlier_boundary] high_outliers = [x for x in dataset1_sorted if x > upper_outlier_boundary]

Compile results into a DataFrame for clarity

results = { "Statistic": [ "Minimum", "Q1", "Median", "Q3", "Maximum", "Range", "IQR", "IQR x 1.5", "Lower Outlier Boundary", "Upper Outlier Boundary", "Low Outliers", "High Outliers" ], "Value": [ min_value, q1, median, q3, max_value, range_value, iqr, iqr_1_5, lower_outlier_boundary, upper_outlier_boundary, low_outliers, high_outliers ] }

results_df = pd.DataFrame(results)

Display the results

import ace_tools as tools; tools.display_dataframe_to_user(name="Dataset 1 - Statistical Analysis", dataframe=results_df) Statistic Value 0 Minimum 18 1 Q1 21.75 2 Median 26.0 3 Q3 30.25 4 Maximum 42 Statistic Value 0 Minimum 18 1 Q1 21.75 2 Median 26.0 3 Q3 30.25 4 Maximum 42successI have calculated the statistical measures for the first dataset (Jaylen Brown's points). Let me know if you'd like details on any specific calculation or assistance with the second dataset.

Follow-up Questions:

  1. Do you want assistance in finding a new player's data for Dataset 2?
  2. Would you like to know more about boxplot creation for this data?
  3. Should I calculate percentages or averages for this dataset?
  4. Would you like a visualization (e.g., histogram or boxplot) of the dataset?
  5. Are you interested in understanding how outliers affect the distribution?

Tip: Outlier boundaries help identify extreme performance days that may not represent typical performance.
