Course: CCJE Time: 10:00-11:00

A. Analyze and interpret the following data set.

2. To study the library habits of students at a local college,
thirty randomly selected students were surveyed to determine
the number of times they had been to the library during the last
week. The following results were obtained:
1521142154
5251234112
3541224512
Organize the data by creating the frequency distribution and
construct a pie chart to represent the data.

Library Habit Frequency %

1 9 30%

2 8 26.67%

3 2 6.67%

4 5 16.67%

5 6 20%

Total 30 100%
4. Below is the 2016 distribution of the Philippines’ overseas contract
workers according to age group. Represent the data in a pie chart and make
an interpretation.
- The pie chart depicts the proportions of foreign contract
workers by age group in 2016. The 30 - 34 age group has
the highest proportion
(22.30%), followed by the 25 - 29 age group (21.70%). The
35-39 age group has the third highest proportion (19.1%),
followed by the 45-plus age group (18.5%). The 40-44 age
group has the fifth-highest proportion with 11.6%, while the
15-24 age group has the lowest proportion with 6.90%.

Measures of Central Tendency

A measure of central tendency (also referred to as measures of centre or
central location) is a summary measure that attempts to describe a whole set
of data with a single value that represents the middle or centre of its
B.distribution.
Solve the following problems.
B.There
Solveare
thethree main problems.
following measures of central tendency: the mode, the median
and the mean. Each of these measures describes a different indication of the
typical or central value in the distribution.
2. A salesperson records the following daily expenditures (in Php) during a
10-day trip.

- In my opinion, the median of expenditures best

represents the average daily expenditures of sellers
because, as shown in the data, there are outliers of
1345.75 and 88.12. These two numbers deviate
significantly from the rest of the data, and if there are
outliers in the data, the median is the best measure of
central tendency.

5. A professor grades students on 5 tests, a project, and a final examination.

Each test counts as 10% of the course grade. The project counts as 20% of
the course grade. The final exam counts as 30% of the course grade. Vanessa
has test scores of 70, 65, 82, 94, and 85. Vanessa’s project score is 92. Her
final examination score is 80. Use the weighted mean formula to find
Vanessa’s average for the course.

Given:
Test Score and Test Count: 70, 65, 82, 94, 85 and 10%
Project Score and Project Counts: 92 and 20%
Final Exam Score and Final Exam Counts: 80 and 30%

So, Vanessa’s average of the course is 82

C. Solve the following problems.

3. Some studies show that the mean normal human body temperature is
actually somewhat lower than the commonly given value of 37°C. This is
reflected in the following data set of body temperatures. Body temperatures
(°C) of 30 healthy adults are recorded as follows:

36.1, 37.2, 37.0, 37.3, 36.9, 36.5, 37.8, 35.9, 36.3, 37.2
37.0, 37.2, 36.8, 37.5, 37.3, 36.7, 36.8, 37.7, 37.2, 36.5
36.1, 36.5, 36.7, 37.1, 37.2, 36.6, 36.4, 36.6, 36.7, 37.8

a. Find the mean and sample standard deviation of the body temperatures.

Solution: Arrange the data in the column: Celsius (°C)

∑ 𝑥: 1106.6
Therefore, the mean is 36.8867, and the sample standard deviation is
0.496007

b. Are there any temperatures in the data set that do not lie within 2 standard
deviations of the mean? If so, list them.

4. A mountain climber plans to buy some rope to use as a lifeline.

Which of the following would be the better choice? Explain why you think your
choice is the better choice.

Rope A: Mean breaking strength: 500 lb.; standard deviation of 100 lb.
Rope B: Mean breaking strength: 500 lb.; standard deviation of 10 lb.

- I believe Rope B is a better option because it has a lower standard deviation,

implying higher consistency.

D. Solve the following problems.

3. A survey was given to 18 employees. One question asked about the one-way
distance the employee had to travel for work. The results, in kilometres, are
shown below. Use the median procedure for finding quartiles to find the first,
second, and third quartiles for the data.

KILOMETERS TRAVELED FOR WORK

Solution. Arrange the data in ascending order:

1 3 4 5 5 7 8 10 10 10 12 15 18 26 28 32 41 85
Determine Q2, which is the median of the distribution.
The 50% of the employees had to travel for work got a 10
kilometres.

Determine Q1, which is the median of the distribution.

Q1 = 5
The 25% of the employees had to travel for work got a 5
kilometres.

Determine Q3, which is the median of the distribution.

Q3 = 26
The 75% of the employees had to travel for work got a 26
kilometres.

5. A random sample of 80 tires showed that the mean mileage per tire
was
41,700 mi, with a standard deviation of 4300 mi.
a. Determine the z-score, to the nearest hundredth, for a tire that
provided
46,300 mi of wear.

A. What is the median concentration? Explain your answer.

- In a normal distribution, the median equals the mean, so
Md=10%.
B. What interval of concentrations covers the middle 95 percent of all the
capsules?
- The concentration interval covering the middle 95% is
between -9.96% and 10.04%
C. What interval covers the middle half of all capsules?
- The interval is 9.865%, and 10.135%.
Correlation and Linear Regression

3. A Zumba instructor remembers the data given in the following table,

which shows the recommended maximum exercise heart rates for individuals
of the given ages.

a. Find the linear correlation coefficient for the data.

The linear correlation coefficient for the data is -1.

b. What is the significance of the value found in part a?

- The significance of the value found in part (a) is that the
value of r is -1 which implies that there is a strong negative
linear relationship between the two variables which are the
age and the maximum heart rate that beats per minute.
c. Find the equation of the least-squares line.
Given the value of a and b above where a = 187 and b = -0.85, the linear
regression equation for the data above is y = 187+ (-0.85) x.

d. Use the equation from part c to predict the maximum exercise heart rate for
a person who is 72.

e. Is the procedure in part d an example of interpolation or extrapolation?

- Part d's procedure is an example of extrapolation.
Because the predicted maximum exercise heart rate of
125.8 or 126 for a
72-year-old person is beyond the date set.
