Question

A researcher has obtained the number of hours worked per week during the summer for a sample of 15 students. 40 25 35 30 20 40 30 20 40 10 30 20 10 5 20 Using this data set, compute the following: a. Median b. Mean c. Mode d. 40th percentile e. Range f. Sample variance g. Standard deviation

Answer 1

Mean = 25

Median = 25

Mode = 6

Explanation:

Given the data :

Using calculator :

Mode = highest occurring data point

Range = max - min = 40 - 5 = 35

Sample variance = 128.57 (calculator)

Sample standard deviation = sqrt(variance) = 11.34
