23:20:26 query problem 13.2.10 .3, .4, .3, .8, .7, .9, .2, .1, .5, .9, .6
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> .1 + .2 + .3 + .3 + .4 + .5 + .6 + .7 + .8 + .9 + .9 = 5.7/11 = 0.518 mean median is 0.5 mode is 0.3 and 0.9
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
23:20:39 ** The numbers, in order, are .1, .2, .3, .3, .4, .5, .6, .7, .8, .9, .9 The mean, obtained by adding the 11 numbers then dividing by 11, is .518. The median occurs at position (n + 1 ) / 2 = 6 in the ordered list. This number is .5. Note that there are five numbers before .5 and five numbers after .5. The maximum number of times a number repeats in this distribution is 2. So there are two modes (and we say that the distribution is bimodal). The modes are .3 and .9. **

23:24:19 **** query problem 13.2.24 more effect from extreme value
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> Median is affected less by an extreme value.

......!!!!!!!!...................................
23:24:31 ** The mean is drastically affected by the error; correcting the error changes the mean by about 3 units. The median number, however, simply shifts 1 position, changing from 2.28 to 2.39. **

23:29:23 **** query problem 13.2.30 Salaries 6 @$19k, 8 @ 23k, 2 @ 34.5k, 7 @ 56.9k, 1 @ 145.5k.
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 6 * $19,500 = $117,000 8 * $23,000 = $184,000 4 * $28,300 = $113,200 2 * $34,500 = $69,000 7 * $36,900 = $258,300 1 * $145,500 = $145,500 Total: $887,000/28 = $31,700 mean salary

......!!!!!!!!...................................
23:29:53 ** IF THERE ARE 28 EMPLOYEES: The totals paid for each salary level are: 6 * $19,500 = $117,000 8 * $23,000 = $184,000 4 * $28,300 = $113,200 2 * $34,500 = $69,000 7 * $36,900 = $258,300 1 * $145,500 = $145,500 The grand total paid in salaries to the 28 employees is therefore $887,000, giving an average of $887,000 / 28 = $31,700. The median occurs at position (n + 1) / 2 = (28 + 1) / 2 = 14.5. Since the 14 th salaray on a list ordered from least to greatest is $23,000 and the 15 th is $28300 the median is ($23000 +$28300) / 2 = $25,650. The mode is 23,000, since this salary occurs more frequently than any other. IF THERE ARE 24 EMPLOYEES: The totals paid for each salary level are: $19,000 * 6 = $114,000 $23,000 * 8 = $184,000 $34,500 * 2 = $69,000 $56,900 * 7 = $398,300 $145,500 * 1 = $145,500 Adding these gives a grand total, which is divided by the number 24 of employees to obtain the mean $37,950. The median occurs at position (n + 1) / 2 = (24 + 1) / 2 = 12.5. Since the $23000 salary covers positions 7 thru 14 in an ordered lise of salaries the median is $23,000. The mode is 23,000, since this salary occurs more frequently than any other.

23:31:02 **** query problem 13.2.51 mean, med, mode of 0, 1, 3, 14, 14, 15, 16, 16, 17, 17, 18, 18, 18, 19, 20
......!!!!!!!!...................................
RESPONSE --> 0 + 1 + 3 + 14 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 16 + 17 + 17 + 18 + 18 + 18 + 19 + 20 = 206/15 = 13.73 mean median is 16 mode is 18
.................................................
......!!!!!!!!...................................
23:31:16 ** The mean is 13.73, obtained by adding together all the numbers and dividing by n = 15. The median is in position (n+1) / 2 = (15+1)/2 = 8 on the ordered list; the 8 th number is 16. The mode is 18, which is the only number occurring as many as 3 times. **
