PROBLEM SET 2:

Quantities:
N=40

Values
40,56,57,58,61,62,63,64,65,65,
66,66,67,68,68,69,69,70,71,72,
75,79,80,81,82,85,86,87,90,91,
91,92,92,92,92,93,98,99,100,101

PERCENTILE
L= (K/100) X N
L= (10/100) X 40
L=4

Rule:
Since Locator is a whole number, we must add +1.
L= 4 + 1 = 5. That is positions 4 and 5.
10th Percentile= (58 + 61) /2
10th Percentile = 59.5

QUARTILE 1:
Q1= P25
Q1= (25/100) X 40
Q1= 10

Rule:
Since Locator is a whole number, we must add +1.
L= 10 + 1 = 11. That is positions 10 and 11.
Q1= (65+66) /2
Q1= 65.5

QUARTILE 2:
Q2= P50
Q2= (50/100) X 40
Q2= 20

Rule:
Since Locator is a whole number, we must add +1.
L= 20 + 1 = 21. That is positions 20 and 21.
Q2= (72+75) /2
Q2= 73.5
QUARTILE 3:
Q3= P75
Q3= (75/100) X 40
Q3= 30

Rule:
Since Locator is a whole number, we must add +1.
L= 30 + 1 = 31. That is positions 30 and 31.
Q3= (91+91) /2
Q3= 91

Interquartile Range = Q3-Q1

IQR= 91 - 65.5
IQR = 25.5

DECILE
D8= 8 (n+1) / 10th data
D8= 8 (40+1) / 10th data
D8 = 328 / 10th data
D8 = 32.8th data which between digit no.32 and 33

Computed as:
D8= 92 + [(0.8) (92-92)] = 92

SCORE OF 80. WHAT PERCENTILE:

Let score of 80 = digit no. 23 (L)
Let x = xth percentile (k)

Formula:
L= (k/100) x n
23 = (k/100) x n
100 x 23 = 40k
2300/ 40 = 40k/40
57.5= k

Round it off to the nearest tens, which equals to 57 percentile.

Substitution:
L= (57/100) x 40
L= 0.57 x 40
L= 22.8

As a rule:
Since i is not an integer in this problem, we round it up to the nearest whole
number, which is 23th percentile
The data value position at digit no. 23 = score of 80.

BOXPLOT:
Skewness and Kurtosis

Skewness is a measure of symmetry, or more precisely, the lack of

symmetry. A distribution, or data set, is symmetric if it looks the same to the
left and right of the center point.

Kurtosis is a measure of whether the data are heavy-tailed or light-tailed

relative to a normal distribution. That is, data sets with high kurtosis tend to
have heavy tails, or outliers. Data sets with low kurtosis tend to have light
tails, or lack of outliers. A uniform distribution would be the extreme case.

PROBABILITY

Application:

Probability = favorable outcome / possible outcome

1. Favorable outcome = 1 (a resulting number is 3)

Possible outcomes = 6 (can be possibly any of 1,2,3,4,5,6)

Thus, the probability of getting 3 = 1/6

2. Favorable outcome = 4 (four suits of king in a standard deck of 52 cards)

Possible outcomes= 52 (total number in a deck of cards, excluded the Joker)

Thus, the probability of getting King = 4/52

Simplest fraction= 2/26 or 1/13

3. Same answer above.
