Given:

Distribution 1 Distribution 2 Distribution 3

Score | Frequency Score | Frequency Score | Frequency

25 4 1 25 2 8
26 10 2 31 4 20
27 6 3 40 6 25
28 3 4 44 8 35
29 3 5 51 10 40
30 1 6 19 12 45
53 1 7 10 13 24
85 1 14 20

For each of the distributions in problem, answer the following questions.

(a) Is the curve of the distribution positively or negatively skewed?
(b) What is n?
(c) What is the Range of the distribution?
(d) Compute Mean, Mode and Median?
(e) What is the variance of the distribution?
(f) What is the standard deviation of the distribution?

2. Find the Mean, Median, Mode, Range and Standard Deviation of the following
set:

a) 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8, 9

b) 3,5,2,9,1,8,2

c) 6.5, 4.7, 10.2, 9.1, 8.8, 12.0, 7.5

d) 115, 130, 122, 129, 130, 133, 136

10. (a) Pos, Pos, Neg

(b) n = 28, 221, 217

(c) mode = 26, 5, 12

(d) mean =

mean1 > mode1; mode2 > mean2; mode3 > mean3

(e)





(f)

(g) Range = highest observation - lowest observation = H - L = 53 -25 = 28;
85 - 1 = 84; 14 - 2 = 12
