The Mean can be calculated as follows:
The Standard Deviation can be calculated as follows:
c.
To determine whether the median and IQR or the mean and standard deviation is used to summarize the data.
The mean and the standard deviation are used to summarize the data.
Concept Used:
When there are outliers present in the data, median and IQR are used to summarize the data.
The data value that is more than
Explanation:
The presence of outliers in the data is identified using the IQR.
The calculated IQR is
There are no data values that are outside the calculated limits. So there are not outliers.
In absence of outliers, the mean and standard deviations are used to summarize for center and spread of the data
