Question

Six different rain gauges on campus recorded the following precipitations during the month of January: 8.4, 9.8, 11.1, 4.6, 16.0, and 10.3 in. Find the sample standard deviation, the inter quartile range, and the average intensity (in/hr) for the 25-year storm in Maimi, FL that lasts an hour and a half.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Here,

x x-x (x-x)2
8.4 -1.63 2.6569
9.8 -0.23 0.0529
11.1 1.07 1.1449
4.6 -5.43 29.4849
16 5.97 35.6409
10.3 0.27 0.0729
Total         60.2   69.0534

 

where the average is
x=xn=60.26=10.03

 

Then, the standard deviation is
s=x-x2n-1=69.05346-1=3.72
