Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…

Chapter 10.1, Problem 10PPS

a.

To determine

To evaluate a real-world example where mean represents the best data.

a.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 10PPS

Mean is used to calculate the final grade of a student in schools and colleges.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Mean.

Formula used:Advantages and disadvantages of mean.

Mean calculates the average of the given data. The final grade a student gets is the mean of all the marks he/she gets in the whole semester. This mean represents the total number of points you scored in the class divided by the number of possible points.

Conclusion:

Mean is used to calculate the final grade of a student in schools and colleges.

b.

To determine

To evaluate a real-world example where median represents the best data.

b.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 10PPS

Average marks of a class is taken out by taking out there median.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Median.

Concept Used:Advantages and disadvantages of median.

The median also shows an average but it’s a different kind of average. Unlike mean, median is not affected by a highly skewed data. The average marks of a class is taken out by calculating there median. Median is a nest measure to calculate the center of a grouped data.

Conclusion:

Average marks of a class is taken out by taking out there median.

c.

To determine

To evaluate a real-world example where mode represents the best data.

c.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 10PPS

The school/ college topper is calculated by mode.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Mode.

Concept Used: Advantages and disadvantages of mode.

The mode shows the maximum value or the most occurring value. Hence, to find the school topper mode is used, as for that we need to find the student with maximum marks. Mode helps in finding the student with maximum marks.

Conclusion:

Average marks of a class is taken out by taking out there median.
