- PSE&G has a reputation for fixing any electric system problems quickly. Over the past decade various severe storms caused a problem with electrical service. In a sample of seven severe storms, it took the following number of days to restore service: 13, 12, 8, 3, 8, 2, 28. Management at PSE&G feels the 28 days were recorded in error (should be either 2 or 8) and should not be used in any analysis. How do you respond to management? (must prove statistically). Some information you may or may not need include: mean = 10.6, median = 8; standard deviation = 8.1, variance = 65.5 and range = 26.arrow_forwardA recent survey collected data from 1000 randomly selected Internet users.
