Step-by-step explanation:

84, 49, 61, 40, 83, 67, 45, 66, 70, 69, 80, 58, 68, 60, 67, 72, 73, 70, 57, 63, 70, 78, 52, 67, 53, 67, 75, 61, 70, 81, 76, 79, 75, 76, 58, 31.

Required:

a. Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation.

Rearranging the data set

31, 40, 45, 49, 52, 53, 57, 58, 58, 60, 61, 61, 63, 66, 67, 67, 67, 67, 68, 69, 70, 70, 70, 70, 72, 73, 75, 75, 76, 76, 78, 79, 80, 81, 83, 84

i) Sample mean =

31 + 40 + 45 + 49 + 52 + 53 + 57+ 58 + 58 + 60 + 61 + 61 + 63 + 66 + 67 + 67 + 67 + 67 + 68 + 69 + 70 + 70,

+ 70 + 70 + 72 + 73 + 75 + 75 + 76 + 76 + 78 + 79 + 80 + 81 + 83 + 84/ 36

= 2371/36

= 65.861111

ii) Sample Standard deviation

= √(x - Mean)²/n - 1

= √[(31 - 65.861111)²+ (40 -65.861111)² +

(45- 65.861111)² +(49 -65.861111)² + (52 -65.861111)²+(53- 65.861111)² +(57 -65.861111)² +(58- 65.861111)² + (58 - 65.861111)² +(60 - 65.861111)²..................]/ 36 - 1

= √1215.297068 + 668.7970678+ 435.1859567 + 284.2970679 + 192.1304012 + 165.408179+ 78.51929012+ 61.7970679+ 61.7970679+ 34.35262346 + 23.63040123 + 23.63040123b+ 8.185956789 + 0.01929012346 + 1.297067901 + 1.297067901 + 1.297067901 + 1.297067901 + 4.574845679 + 9.852623457 + 17.13040124 + 17.13040124+ 17.13040124 + 17.13040124 + 37.68595679 + 50.96373457 + 83.51929013 + 83.51929013 + 102.7970679 + 102.7970679 + 147.3526235 + 172.6304013 + 199.908179 + 229.1859568 + 293.7415124 + 329.0192902/35

= √5174.305556/35

= √147.8373016

= 12.15883636

b. Find the upper and lower quartiles of temperature.

31, 40, 45, 49, 52, 53, 57, 58, 58, 60, 61, 61, 63, 66, 67, 67, 67, 67, 68, 69, 70, 70, 70, 70, 72, 73, 75, 75, 76, 76, 78, 79, 80, 81, 83, 84

i) Upper Quartile (Q3)

Formula = 3/4(n + 1)th value

n = 36

= 3/4(36 + 1)th value

= 111/4

= 27.75th value

Looking at the arranged value above

27.75th value = value between 27 and 28

= (27th + 28th)value/2

= 75 + 75/2

= 150/2

= 75

ii) Lower Quartile (Q1)

Formula = 1/4(n + 1)th value

n = 36

= 1/4(36 + 1)th value

= 37/4

= 9.25 th value

Looking at the arranged values above

9.25th value = value between 9 and 10

=(9th + 10th) value/2

58 + 60/2

= 118/2

= 59

c. Find the median.

31, 40, 45, 49, 52, 53, 57, 58, 58, 60, 61, 61, 63, 66, 67, 67, 67, 67, 68, 69, 70, 70, 70, 70, 72, 73, 75, 75, 76, 76, 78, 79, 80, 81, 83, 84

The above values have been arranged from ascending to descending order

The total number of values = 36

This is an even number.

Median formula = 1/2 (n + 1) the value

= 37/2

= 18.5th value

The median of this data set lies between = 18th and 19th value.

31, 40, 45, 49, 52, 53, 57, 58, 58, 60, 61, 61, 63, 66, 67, 67, 67,) 67, 68, (69, 70, 70, 70, 70, 72, 73, 75, 75, 76, 76, 78, 79, 80, 81, 83, 84

18th value = 67

19th value = 68

Median = 67 + 68/2

= 135/2

= 67.5

d. Construct a box plot of the data and comment on the possible presence of outliers.

Yes there's the possible presence of outliers.

This outlier = 31

Please find attached to this answer the diagram for the box plot.

191 students play sports and ninety-seven 10th graders were surveyed.

step-by-step explanation:

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
