Questions
1. Give the significance of Grubbs test.
Grubbs test checks if a suspected value from a data set is an outlier or not.
2. Give the significance of the mean and standard deviation.
The mean and the standard deviation show how dispersed the values are in a data set.
3. Give the significance of the confidence interval.
The confidence interval presents the probability that the true value lies in the interval
computed.
4. How do the statistics calculated from data set 1 differ from those obtained from data set 2?
The statistics calculated differ only by a small value since the values in the data are near each
other.
