INTRODUCTION

Statistics is a mathematical science dealing with the collection, organization, analysis,

interpretation, and presentation of data. It offers a method to convey data that is more accurate
than simple observation. Different statistical concepts were employed in this experiment,
including the Q test, mean, median standard deviation, relative standard deviation, coefficient of
variation, range, and confidence intervals. The decision of whether to reject or keep an outlier
measurement is frequently made using a Q test.
Data collection for statistical analysis can be done in a variety of ways. This can be done
through direct observation, surveys, and by conducting experiments. If an experiment is
repeated many times and the errors are purely random, then the results tend to cluster
symmetrically about the average value. The more times the experiment is repeated, the more
closely the results approach an ideal smooth curve called the Gaussian distribution. Statistical
behaviors derived from a small number of measurements can be represented as a collection of
complete measurements (Harris, 2010). For experiments and problem solving to yield accurate
results, it is critical that the data used be reliable. Replicate measurements are collected to
achieve this. The validity of the proposed metrics is subsequently assessed using statistical
concepts.
This experiment was designed to show the experimenter how to apply statistical concepts to
different coin weights. The experiment involved using a top-loading balance to weigh one-peso
coins in the same year and in different years, as well as five-peso coins. This experiment's
primary objectives were to determine the weight variation and apply statistical concepts to a
sample of coins. The sample coins taken from the population as well as repeated
measurements will be described using the ideas of outliers and confidence intervals.
