1. Let’s find the range, the IQR, the variance, the standard deviation and the coefficient of variation
of the set A et B.
 Set A
 The range
Range= 09 – 02
Range = 7
 The IQR
According to the box-whisker plot
Q1= 03; Q2=07; Q3= 8.5
So IQR= Q3 – Q1
= 8.5 – 03
IQR= 5.5
 The variance
n
S = ∑ (xi−x́ ¿)¿ 2/ (n – 1)
2

i=1

= {( 2- 6)2 + ( 4- 6)2 + ( 7- 6)2 + (8- 6)2 + ( 9 – 6 )2}/ ( 5 – 1)

S2 = 8.5

 The Standard deviation

S= √ S 2
= 2.91
S= 2.91
 The coefficient of variation

CV= (S/ Mean)× 100

CV= (2.8/6) × 100

CV= 48.5%

 Set B

 The range

Range= 12- 3
=9
  The IQR
Q1= 3.5; Q2= 7; Q3= 10.5

IQR = Q3 – Q1
= 10.5 – 3.5
IQR= 7

 The Variance

n
S2 = ∑ (xi−x́ ¿)¿ 2/ (n – 1)
i=1

= {( 3- 7)2 + ( 4- 7)2 + ( 7- 7)2 + (7- 7)2 + ( 9 – 7 )2 + (12 – 7)2}/ ( 6 – 1)

S2 = 10.8

 The Standard deviation

S= √ S 2
= 3.3
S= 3.3
 The coefficient of variation

CV= (S/ Mean)× 100

CV= (3.3/7) × 100

CV= 47%
2. a. Let’s produce the 5-Number summary
1) The minimum
MIN= 264
2) The maximum
MAX= 1049
3) The Quarter 1
QR1= 307.5
4) The Quarter2
QR2= 451
5) The Quarter3
QR3= 553.5
 b) Let’s construct a box- and a whisker plot and describe the shape

MIN QR1 QR2 QR3 Max

200 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 600 650 700 750 800 850 900 950 1000 1050

3) a. let’s determine the mean and the median

Mean= ( 54.5 + 58.8 +61 + 62 + 64.3 + 65.2 + 70 + 81.5)/ 8

=64.7

Median= 63.15

b) The data suggest a strong skewness of the weight distribution
