Consider the two sets of data below:
A. During the first weeks of world economic crisis, the weekly average
hours worked in manufacturing jobs were as follows: 45 46 40 36 30 38
36 41 42 48 27 Compute for the following measures:
1. Mean 2. Median 3. Mode 4. Q1 5. D4 6.P15 8. Range

1. = / = 45 + 46 + 40 + 36 + 30 + 38 + 36 + 41 + 42 + 48 + 27 : = 39
2. 27 30 36 36 38 40 41 42 45 46 48 ; = 40
3. 36
4. Q1 = 36
5. D4= 37
6. P15 = 30
8. R=Sh-Sl ;= 21

B. The 50 students in a class had the following scores in a Math test:

49 24 24 49 36 24 46 43 25 43
30 37 37 43 32 29 43 44 36 25
36 40 45 23 45 32 40 26 47 24
36 45 26 29 47 31 38 25 40 33
48 33 30 49 29 31 32 34 40 26
1. Set up the frequency distribution table.

47-50 6 -3 -18 54

total 50 11

2. Determine the mean, median, mode, 3 rd quartile, 5th decile, 10th

percentile, quartile deviation and standard deviation.

Mean:
X (mean) = X0 + fd/2 (c)
(35-38 class intervals)
X0 = 36.5 fd =11 n = 50 c=4
X=X0 + fd/n (c)
= 36.5 + 11/50 (4)
=36.5 + 0.88
=37.38
Median:
Md=L+n/2 Fm-1(c) (35-38 class interval)
Fm
 L=34.5 fm=7 fm-1=24 c=4

= 34.5+ (4)
= 34.5 + 0.57
= 35.07

Mode:
M0=L + Δ1 (c)
Δ1+Δ2
Modal class 23-26
L=22.5 ;Δ1=11-9=2; Δ2=11-8=3; c =4

= 22.5 + (4)
=22.5 + 1.6
=24.1

3rd Quartile:
Q3= L + (kn-cf) w
F
K= 1/4=3/4 kn=(3/4)50= 37.5

Q3= 42.5+ ( )4
=42.5+1.11
=43.61
=44

5th Decile :
D5= L + (kn-cf) w
F
K= 1/10=5/10 kn= 1/10 (5/10)50= 25

=34.5 + 4
D5 = 35

15th Percentile:
P15= L + (kn-cf) w
F
K= i/100=15/100 kn= = (15/100)50= 7.5

P15=22.5 + 4
= 25

Quartile Deviation:
Q= Q3-Q1

=

Standard Deviation:
S= √n(fd2- (fd)2 fd2= 221 fd= 11 n S=

S= S= 104.54/12.5 ; S= 8.3632
