Question

Consider the following summary statistics for two data sets:

  DATA A DATA B
Mean 59.5 7.5
Standard Deviation 8.4 1.3

 

a. Compute the Coefficients of Variation for each sample. Round results to 1 decimal place.

DATA A DATA B
 CVA=   %  CVB=   %

 

b. In which population, DATA A or DATA B, is the data more variable?

   

c. Compute a 81 % Chebyshev's Theorem interval for DATA B:

  • First find the corresponding value of kk for a 81 % interval. E.g, determine the value of kk (round to 1 decimal place) such that:

 1−1k2= 0.81          k=  

  • Now construct the upper and lower bounds of the interval (round results to 1 decimal place). By Chebyshev's Theorem, at least 81 % of the data falls within the interval that is ±k±k standard deviations of the mean. So the interval is:

    to   

d. An intern computed the following Chebyshev’s theorem interval for DATA B:

 [5.6,9.5][5.6,9.5] 

  • What value of kk did the intern use, and what does it mean in the context of this interval? Give result to 1 decimal place.

 

  • What is the minimum proportion of DATA B that is contained in the interval? Give result to nearest whole percent.
