In Exercises 5-20, find the range , variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. Include appropriate units (such as “minutes”) in your results. (The same data were used in Section 3-2 where we found measures of center. Here we find measures of variation.) Then answer the given questions. 10. Florida Manatee Deaths Listed below are the numbers of manatee deaths caused each year by collisions with watercraft. Manatees, also called “sea cows,” are large mammals that live underwater, often in or near waterways. The data are listed in order for each year of the past decade. The data are from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. What important feature of the data is not revealed through the different measures of variation?

Solution Summary: The author explains that the data represents the number of manatee deaths caused each year per decade by collisions with watercraft.

Statistics that help describe, summarize, and present information extracted from data. Descriptive statistics include concepts related to measures of central tendency, measures of variability, measures of frequency, shape of distribution, and some data visualization techniques/tools such as pivot tables, charts, and graphs.
