1. What you will learn

Retain frequencies and group sizes when computing summaries. Identify which measure responds to shifting, scaling, adding or replacing observations.

2. Practice

What is the mode of 2,3,3,5,5,5,8?

Answer:

3. Practice

In a data set, 11 occurs 4 times, 12 occurs 7 times and 13 occurs 5 times. What is the mode?

Answer:

4. Practice

The percentile rank is defined here as 100 times the fraction of observations strictly below a value. In 4,6,6,9,10, what is the percentile rank of 9?

Answer:

5. Practice

A score has exactly 72 of 90 comparison scores strictly below it. Under the strictly-below definition, what is its percentile rank?

Answer:

6. Practice

Using population standard deviation (divide squared deviations by n), what is the standard deviation of 2 and 8?

Answer:

7. Practice

Using population standard deviation, what is the variance of 1,1,5,5?

Answer:

Answer:

9. Practice

In the data 2,4,6,8,100, how much greater is the mean than the median?

Answer:

10. Practice

A class of 15 has mean 70 and a class of 25 has mean 86. What is the combined mean?

Answer:

11. Practice

For 1,3,6,10,14,20, define quartiles as medians of the lower and upper halves. What is the interquartile range?

Answer:

12. Practice

How many real values of x make the mean of 2,5,9,x equal to the median of that list?

Answer:

13. What you can do now

Rebuild the ordered data or weighted total to check the result; an unweighted average of group means can hide unequal sample sizes.
