Due on 7 October 2023 11:59 PM GMT+8

1.0 Two groups scored a recent iPon15 phone product, and the scores are listed below:
Group Evaluator
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
End Users 72 76 80 80 81 83 84 85 85 89
Experts 57 65 83 94 95 96 98 93 71 63
(5 points)

a) Compute the mean score for each group and use this information to justify the need to
compute a measure of variability for each data set.
b) Choose an appropriate measure of variability that will help you come up with a good
comparison of the two data sets. Justify your choice of the measure.
c) Make a separate dot plot for each set of data. On the basis of the dot plots, argue why
the range would be inappropriate as a measure of variability.
(You may use MS Excel or other applications to construct dot plot OR draw it manually).

Sample Age Bracket

11-20
21-30
