Suppose you have been appointed the County Executive in charge of finance in your County. You have allocated funding to two projects, Project A and Project B. By coincidence, Project B happens to be located in your Sub- County. Given below are seventy allocations to various activities in both projects (in Kshs Billions).

Required:

a) Classify this information into seven (7) equal classes using the exclusive method with a class interval of 15 and one of the lower-class limits of either of the distributions must be 21.
b) The County assembly has accused you of biasness in funds allocation and have called for your impeachment. They allege that on average you have allocated an additional Kshs 5 billionmore for Project B. Based on the mean present your case to the County Assembly that this allegation is not accurate.
c) Does your argument in (ii) above change if we apply the median?
d) Compute the combined standard deviation of the two projects.

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
