Find the following measurements (two-decimal places):

1. Mean 124 4. Median: 124.5

2. Sample standard deviation: 2.16 5. Mode: 125

B. Consider
the following measurements in liters for two samples of orange juice bottled by
two competing companies Y & Z.
Co. Y 0.92 1.00 0.94 1.03 1.11
Co. Z 1.06 1.01 0.88 0.91 1.14
1. Find the mean content of the samples (two-decimal places). Y: __1___; Z:
___1___
2. Find the standard deviation of the samples (two-decimal places). Y: 0.08_; Z: _0.11_
3. Which company shows better bottling average? Company Y shows a better bottling
average.
4. Which company is more consistent in bottling? Company Y is more consistent in
bottling.
5. If you are to buy bottled orange juice, which product will you prefer? I prefer the
product of Company Y.
6. Why? Because based from the measurement of variability, Company Y has consistency
in bottling and more uniformed rather than Company Z. Also, Company is
homogeneous and has a lower standard deviation.

C. A sample of ages and weights of five women members of an aerobics class showed
their weights and ages in years to their nearest birthday: *
Age 22 18 26 20 24
Weig 11 15 14 137 13
h 5 9 1 0

1. Find the mean of Age: 22 weight: 136.4

2. Find the standard deviation of Age: 3.16 weight: 16.06
3. Find the coefficient of variation of Age: weight:
4. Which set of data is relatively more variable? Weight is more variable.
5. Why? Because the samples of weight are more dispersed than the samples of age.
