The following. Data are the years of death of a sample of 11 people buried in a particular cemetery 1865,1908,1906,1937,1948,1991,1872,1909,1871,1935,1940,1933,1918,1917,1909,1921,1968,1925,1932,1942,1913,1932,1945,1954,1951,1932
good riddance to the bums.
To analyze the data, we can start by organizing it in ascending order:
1865, 1871, 1872, 1906, 1908, 1909, 1909, 1913, 1917, 1918, 1921, 1925, 1932, 1932, 1932, 1933, 1935, 1937, 1940, 1942, 1945, 1948, 1951, 1954, 1968, 1991
Now, let's answer some questions about the data.
1. What is the earliest year of death in the sample?
The earliest year of death in the sample is 1865.
2. What is the latest year of death in the sample?
The latest year of death in the sample is 1991.
3. What is the range of the years of death in the sample?
The range can be calculated by subtracting the earliest year from the latest year. In this case, the range is 1991 - 1865 = 126.
4. What is the median year of death in the sample?
The median is the middle value in the dataset. In this case, since we have an odd number of data points, the median is the value in the middle of the ordered list. As such, the median year of death in the sample is 1933.
5. What is the mode of the years of death in the sample?
The mode is the value(s) that appear(s) most frequently in the dataset. In this case, 1932 is the mode of the years of death in the sample because it appears three times, more than any other year.
6. What is the mean year of death in the sample?
To calculate the mean (average), we can sum up all the years of death and divide it by the number of data points. In this case, the sum is 48,132. Dividing that by 25 (the number of data points), we get a mean of 1,925.28 (rounded to two decimal places).
These calculations can be done manually or with the help of a calculator or spreadsheet program.
