1. Weights (in pounds) of samples of the contents in cans of regular Coke and Diet Coke are
listed below. Does there appear to be a significant difference between the two data sets? How
might such a difference be explained?( Hint: Compare means and standard deviations.)
Regular: 0.8192 0.8150 0.8163 0.8211 0.8181 0.8247
Diet: 0.7773 0.7758 0.7896 0.7868 0.7844 0.7861

2. It is well known that men tend to weigh more than women, and men tend to be taller than
women. The body mass index (BMI) is a measure based on weight and height. Listed below
are BMI values from randomly selected men and women. Does there appear to be a difference
in variation between the two data sets? Justify your answer by calculating necessary statistical
measures.
Men: 23.8 23.2 24.6 26.2 23.5 24.5 21.5 31.4 26.4 22.7 27.8

3. A data set consists of 20 values that are fairly close together. Another value is included, but this
new value is an outlier (very far away from the other values). How is the standard deviation
affected by the outlier? No effect? A small effect? A large effect?
The more extreme the outlier, the more the standard deviation is affected.

4. Table 3-4 lists the 76 sorted ages of Oscar-winning Best Actresses

 i) Calculate the mean, median, mode standard deviation, variance ,coefficient of skewness
and kurtosis.

ii) Describe the shape of the distribution of ages using the skewness coefficient and kurtosis.

The distribution base on its skewness is highly skewed distribution and since the kurtosis is
greater than 3, then the dataset has heavier tails than a normal distribution.

iii)Find the indicated percentile or quartile.
