b) Mode
For the set of data with moderate number of observations, mode can be obtained direct from its
definition. The data should first be arranged in ascending (or descending) order. Then the mode
will be the observation(s) which occurs most frequently.
40, 35, 29, 43, 41, 38, 32, 30, 38, 25, 38, 40
Thus,
25,29,30,32,35,38,38,38,40,40,41,43
Since weight 38 is get it from 3 pupils (the high frequency), so the mode is weight 38.
c) Median 40, 35, 29, 43, 41, 38, 32, 30, 38, 25, 38, 40

Thus, Median is = 38

Q1
25,29,30,32,35,38,38,38,40,40,41,43
⸫ Q1 is positioned between 3rd and 4th, and it is 0.25 above the 3rd position.
e) Third quartile

Q1 position = ( 12+1 )

= 9.75 = 9 + 0.75
Q3
25,29,30,32,35,38,38,38,40,40,41,43
⸫Q3 is positioned between 9th and 10th, and it is 0.75 above the 9th position.
IQR
25,29,30,32,35,38,38,38,40,40,41,43
⸫IQR is positioned between 6th and 7th, and it is 0.5 above the 6th position.
QUESTION 3
a) probability
Have Retirement Benefits
Total
Yes No
Men 140 150 290
i. is a woman
210
Pr(E) =
500
= 0.42
= 42%
iv. is a woman, given that she does not have retirement benefits
80
Pr(E) =
500
= 0.16
= 16%
b) S M
Sample Space, S = {MY,MN,WY,WN} 1 2
Event men, M = {MY,MN}
Event women, W = {WY,WN} W
Event yes, Y = {MY,WY} 3 4
Event no, N = (MN, WN}
MY = 1 MN = 2 WY = 3 WN = 4 Y N
M 3 Y
2
.4
Two events are mutually exclusive if they cannot occur at the same time. Another word that
means mutually exclusive is disjoint.
p("yes") = 130/500
p("men") = 150/500
so in this case, "yes" event and "men" event are occur in the same time and they are jointed. This
mean this event is not mutually exclusive.
c)
S
W 3 Y
4
.2
Here,
W: women events that the probability is 40%
Y: yes events that the probability is 54%
Since women events are effected with yes events, so these events are not independent, then
they are dependent.
