EXERCISE No.5
Due to an error, a teacher deleted the grade obtained by one out of ten students. If the
nine other students scored 43, 66, 74, 90, 40, 52, 70, 78, and 92, and the average of
The average of the ten grades is 67, what grade did the teacher erase?

The grade erased by the teacher was 65.

EXERCISE No.6
In the following exercises, calculate the range, the interquartile range, the variance and the
standard deviation for the given data.

A.-The values given are weights (in ounces) of meats listed on the menu of a
restaurant like '20 ounce Porterhouse cuts' (based on collected data
for a student).

17 20 21 18 20 20 20 18 19 19
20 19 21 20 18 20 20 19 18 19

Range:

The range between the ounces (weight of meat) is 4 ounces.

Interquartile Range:

The meats that are sold can be 1.25 less than 19.5 ounces (which is the value
the average of the data), or 1.25 times greater than 19.5 ounces.

Variance:

The variation in the weights of the meats is 1.168421053 ounces starting from the
medium (19.5 ounces).

Desviación Estándar:

The standard deviation, being smaller, indicates that the data is not so
scattered. That the weights of the meats are very close to each other, which
It means that the meats are in the range to be sold as 20 ounces.
even if they are not.
B.-Selected digits in the Maryland Pick Three lottery:

1 6 8 6 9 5 2 1 5 0 3 9 9 0 7
Range:

The range between the selected lottery digits will be 9.

Interquartile range:

The numbers that can come out in the lottery are within the range of 6, which is the
median, (+-) 5, which is the interquartile range.

Variance:

The average difference that exists between each of the lottery data and its
The average is 4.9.

Standard Deviation:

R// the deviation is smaller that means that the lottery data is not so
separated, they are almost continuous data.

C.- Blood alcohol concentrations of 15 drivers involved in

fatal accidents and then sentenced to prison (based on data from the department
of Justice of the United States.

0.14 0.16 0.12 0.16 0.21 0.17 0.18 -----

Range:

The blood alcohol level has increased to 0.17.

Interquartile range:
R// alcohol levels can be ±0.100625 relative to the mean of the levels of
alcohol.

Variance:

The alcohol level can vary by 0.19 for each value.

Standard Deviation:

R// The blood alcohol levels are almost tied together, which means that the
drivers almost all have the same level of intoxication.

EXERCISE No.7
The concentration of suspended solids in river water is a characteristic
important environmental. A scientific article reported on the concentration (in parts
per million, or ppm) for several different rivers. Let's assume that the
following 50 observations for a particular river:

55.8 60.9 37.0 91.3 65.8

42.3 33.8 60.6 76.0 69.0
45.9 39.1 35.5 56.0 44.6

60.7 77.1 59.1 49.5 69.3
69.8 64.9 27.1 87.1 66.3

A.-Calculate the average

Media =57.10

With the observations, it was found that there are approximately 57 ppm of solids in
the studied river.

B.-Calculate the variance and the standard deviation.

Varianza = 15.83

The amount of solid in the river can vary between 58.93, which is the median.

Desviación = 15.99

Since the deviation is very large, it tells us that the solids in the river vary.
a lot, there can be very different amounts in the river.

C.- Calculate and interpret the coefficient of variation from a table of

frequency distribution

k = 1 + 3.333 log (50) = 6.66 Amplitude (=94.6-27.1)/7 = 9.64
