A survey of 40 clothing stores reported these numbers of sales held during a randomly selected year
11-15,16-20,21-25,26-30, 31-35, 36-40 and the frequencies are 3,5,12,9,8,3 Caculate the mean variance and standard deviation
Find the mean first = sum of scores/number of scores
Subtract each of the scores from the mean and square each difference. Find the sum of these squares. Divide that by the number of scores to get variance.
Standard deviation = square root of variance
I'll let you do the calculations.
To provide a complete answer, I would need the actual numbers of sales reported for each clothing store during the randomly selected year. However, without these numbers, I can still explain how you can analyze the sales data from the 40 clothing stores using descriptive statistics.
1. Summarizing the Data:
To begin, you can calculate the total number of sales across all 40 clothing stores by adding up the individual numbers of sales. This will give you an overall view of the sales activity during the randomly selected year.
2. Averaging the Data:
You can calculate the average (mean) number of sales by dividing the total number of sales by 40 (the number of clothing stores). This will give you an idea of the average sales per store.
3. Assessing the Spread:
The spread or variability of the sales data can be determined by finding the range, which is the difference between the highest and lowest sales. This will indicate how much the sales numbers differ across the clothing stores.
4. Identifying the Median:
The median can be found by arranging the sales numbers in ascending order and identifying the middle value. If the number of sales is even, the median will be the average of the two middle values.
Moreover, for a more comprehensive analysis, you could use additional measures of central tendency such as the mode, which represents the most frequently occurring sales number.
Please provide the specific sales data, and I can assist you in performing the calculations and drawing conclusions based on the numbers.
