Find the​ (a) mean,​ (b) median,​ (c) mode, and​ (d) midrange for the data and then​ (e) answer the given question. Listed below are the weights in pounds of 1111 players randomly selected from the roster of a championship sports team. Are the results likely to be representative of all players in that​ sport's league? 186 229 240 257 187 221 309 293 257 274 221

Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) Mean =243.0909

(b) Median = 240

In other words it is the middle value of the data arranged in order.

(c) Mode =  221  and 257

(d) Mid Range =   247.5

e)

Variance = 1578.5037

Standard Deviation = 39.730

Range = 309-186= 123

(e)  No the results are not  likely to be representative of all players in that​ sport's league because they are not similar.

Step-by-step explanation:

First arranging the data in ascending order

186 187 221 221 229 240 257 257  274  293    309

(a) Mean = Sum of observations/ No of observations

       = 186 + 187 + 221 +221 + 229 + 240 + 257 + 257 + 274 + 293 + 309 /11

= 2674/11=

= 243.0909

(b) Median for un grouped data is

Here n = 11 and n/2 = 11/2 is not an integer

Median = Results obtained by ([n/2] +1) player

                   = (11/2 +1) = 6th player in ordered data

                = 240

In other words it is the middle value of the data arranged in order.

(c) Mode = Most frequent values.

There are two modes : 221  and 257 . These both values occur repeatedly.

(d) Mid Range = Maximum Value + minimum value/ 2= 186+ 309/2=  247.5

Now we will find the variance and standard deviation

The variance is given by

s² =  (186-243.0909)²+ (187-243.0909)²+ (221-243.0909)²+ (221 -243.0909)²+(229-243.0909)²+ (240-243.0909)²+( 257-243.0909)²+ (257 -243.0909)²+ (274-243.0909)²+ ( 293-243.0909)²+    (309 -243.0909)²/11-1

s²=  3259.370 + 3146.139+ 488.008+ 488.008+ 198.553+ 9.554+ 193.463 + 193.463 + 955.372 +  2509.098 + 4344.009/10

s²= 15,785.037/10= 1578.5037

And Standard Deviation = s= √1578.5037= 39.730

Variance = 1578.5037

Standard Deviation = 39.730

Range = 309-186= 123

(e)  No the results are not  likely to be representative of all players in that​ sport's league because they are not similar.
