Elementary Statistics Homework


Introduction to elementary statistics homework:

Our world is flattering more and more information oriented. Every part of our lives utilizes data in one form or the other. So, it becomes necessary for us to know how to extract meaningful information from such data. This taking out of meaningful information had studied in a branch of mathematics called Statistics.


elementary statistics homework Problems of find median:


Statistics example:

The points scored by a Tennis team in a series of matches are as

Follows:

20, 5, 10, 30, 18, 8, 17, 11, 14, 27, 51, 13, 11, 10, 21, 31

Find the median of the points scored by the team.

Statistics solution:

To arrange the given points in ascending order, we get

5, 8, 10, 10, 11, 11, 13, 14, 17, 18, 20, 21, 27, 30, 31, 51

There are 16 terms. Therefore, there are two middle terms.

That is, (16/2)th term and ((16/2)+1)th term. Therefore, these are the 8th and 9th terms.

Hence, the median is the average values of the 8th and 9th terms.

Median (14+17)/2=15.5

Therefore, the medial point scored by the Tennis team is 15.5.

I have recently faced lot of problem while learning What Does Mean Median and Mode Mean, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

elementary statistics homework Problems of find mode:


Statistics example 1:

Find the mode of the following numbers (out of 10) obtained by 20 peoples:

4, 6, 5, 8, 3, 2, 7, 7, 6, 5, 4, 8, 10, 10, 3, 4, 7, 6, 8, 8

Statistics solution:

We arrange this data in the following form:

2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 10, 10

Here 8 occur most frequently, i.e., four times. Therefore, the mode is 8.

Statistics example 2:

A team in a series of 10 matches given below scored the number of goals:

2, 5, 4, 3, 0, 1, 5, 5, 4, 5

Find the mode of these scores.

Statistics solution:

We arrange this data in the following form:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5

Here 5 occur most frequently, i.e., four times. Therefore, the mode is 5.

These are some of the homework problem on elementary statistics.
