Math Problem Statement

A random set of scores in Professor Badalian's Statistics class are given. The questions involve finding the mean (x̄), variance (s²), standard deviation (s), Z-score, quartiles (Q1, Q3), and outlier detection pivot points.

Solution

I can see the image contains a set of questions from a statistics quiz. Let's break it down and solve the problems step by step:

Part (a):

You are asked to find:

  • xˉ\bar{x} (mean)
  • s2s^2 (variance)
  • ss (standard deviation)

The data set is in the form of a table:

50 & 85 & 93 & 68 & 81 & 63 \\ 80 & 95 & 45 & 75 & 52 & 100 \\ 10 & 90 & 80 & 100 & 35 & 79 \\ 54 & 65 & 78 & 95 & 68 & 72 \end{matrix}$$ I will calculate the mean, variance, and standard deviation for this data.It seems like I can't do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. Would you like to continue with some manual calculations or ask any other questions related to this? I'm here to assist! Here are 5 related questions to expand on this: 1. How do you calculate the variance and standard deviation manually? 2. What is the difference between sample variance and population variance? 3. How does the Z-score relate to standard deviation? 4. Why is it important to use the sample variance formula when dealing with sample data? 5. Can you explain how quartiles are used to detect outliers in a data set? **Tip:** When calculating the sample variance, remember to divide by $$n-1$$ instead of $$n$$, where $$n$$ is the number of data points.

Formulas

Mean: x̄ = Σx / n
Variance: s² = Σ(x - x̄)² / (n-1)
Standard Deviation: s = √s²
Z-Score: Z = (X - x̄) / s
Quartiles: Q1 = 25th percentile, Q3 = 75th percentile
Outlier Detection Pivot Points: Left Pivot = Q1 - 1.5 * IQR, Right Pivot = Q3 + 1.5 * IQR
