2. Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivations
Item 1 Calculations:
Item 1 Dataset (Ordered): 13, 18, 20, 23, 26, 28, 30 (Total items, n = 7)
• Quartiles: Positions are computed using Pk = k(n+1)/4. Q1 is the 2nd value (18), Q2 is the 4th value
(23), and Q3 is the 6th value (28).
• Range & IQR: Range = Max - Min = 30 - 13 = 17. IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 28 - 18 = 10.
• Variance & SD: Mean is 22.57. Sum of squared differences from mean divided by (n-1) gives a Sample
Variance of 35.95. Squaring root yields Standard Deviation = 6.00.
• Coefficient of Variation: (SD / Mean) × 100% = (6.00 / 22.57) × 100% = 26.56%.
Item 2 Calculations:
Item 2 Dataset (Ordered): 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12 (Total items, n = 7)
• Quartiles: Q1 is the 2nd value (6), Q2 is the 4th value (8), and Q3 is the 6th value (11).
• Range & IQR: Range = Max - Min = 12 - 4 = 8. IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 11 - 6 = 5.
• Variance & SD: Mean is 8.14. Using the sample formula with (n-1) degrees of freedom yields a Variance
of 7.81. Taking the square root yields Standard Deviation = 2.79.
• Coefficient of Variation: (SD / Mean) × 100% = (2.79 / 8.14) × 100% = 34.32%.
