The data in table below gives marks for an exam of a particular tutors students in 2005 and 2006.
Year students marks on the exam
2005 75 86 91 65 83 75 88 90 66 99
2006 60 78 75 98 79 90 80 88 81 90
from the following choose two options which are true about the table above.
a) the mean of the 2005 marks are greater than the mean of 2006 marks.
b) The interquartile range of the 2005 marks is more than the interquartile range of the 2006 marks.
c) The median of the 2005 marks is less than the median of the 2006 marks.
d) The standard deviation of the 2005 marks is the same as the standard deviation of the 2006 marks.
e) The range of the 2005 is greater than the range of the 2006 marks.
f) The relative spread of the 2005 marks is greater than the relative spread of 2006 marks.
g) The lower quartile of the 2005 marks is the same as the lower quartile of the 2006 marks.
h) The upper quartile of the 2005 marks is greater than the upper quartile of the 2006 marks.
wod it be c and e ?
To determine which options are true about the table, we need to calculate various statistical measures for the marks in 2005 and 2006.
a) To compare the means of the marks in 2005 and 2006, you need to calculate the mean for each year:
Mean of 2005 marks = (75 + 86 + 91 + 65 + 83 + 75 + 88 + 90 + 66 + 99)/10
Mean of 2006 marks = (60 + 78 + 75 + 98 + 79 + 90 + 80 + 88 + 81 + 90)/10
b) To compare the interquartile ranges (IQR) of the marks in 2005 and 2006, you need to find the lower quartile (25th percentile) and upper quartile (75th percentile) for each year, and then calculate the IQR.
c) To compare the medians of the marks in 2005 and 2006, you need to arrange the marks in each year in ascending order and find the middle value.
d) To compare the standard deviations of the marks in 2005 and 2006, you need to calculate the standard deviation for each year.
e) To compare the ranges of the marks in 2005 and 2006, you need to find the difference between the maximum and minimum values for each year.
f) To compare the relative spreads of the marks in 2005 and 2006, you need to calculate the coefficient of variation for each year. The coefficient of variation is the standard deviation divided by the mean.
g) To compare the lower quartiles of the marks in 2005 and 2006, you need to find the lower quartile for each year.
h) To compare the upper quartiles of the marks in 2005 and 2006, you need to find the upper quartile for each year.
Based on these calculations, you can determine the correct options. Note that you have provided the ranges for options c and e, but the calculations mentioned above are necessary to determine the correct answers.
