Question
Find the (a) mean, (b) median, (c) mode, and (d) midrange for the data and then (e) answer the given question.
Listed below are foot lengths in inches of randomly selected women in a study of a country's military in 1988. Are the statistics representative of the current population of all women in that country's military?
9.9 8.6 9.8 8.6 9.3 8.7 10.3 9.4 10.5 9.8 9.8 O
a. Find the mean.
The mean is
inch(es).
(Type an integer or a decimal rounded to two decimal places as needed.)
b. Find the median.
The median is inch(es).
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round.)
c. Find the mode.
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
O A. The mode(s) is(are)
inch(es).
(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not round. Use a comma to separate answers as needed.)
O B. There is no mode.
d. Find the midrange.
The midrange is inch(es).
(Type an
teger or a decimal. Do not round.)
e. Are the statistics representative of the current population of all women in that country's military? Choose the best answer below.
O A. Since the sample is not a random sample, it should not be considered to be representative of the population.
O B. Since the measurements were made in 1988, they are not necessarily representative of the current population of all women in the country's military.
OC. Since the sample does not include men, the sample should not be considered to be representative of the population.
O D. Since the sample is random and the sample size is greater than 10, the sample can be considered to be representative of the population.
