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…
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…
Z-Scores
A z-score is a unit of measurement used in statistics to describe the position of a raw score in terms of its distance from the mean, measured with reference to standard deviation from the mean. Z-scores are useful in statistics because they allow compar…

Answer to Problem 10.1EP

Median of height is 66 inches.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Height in inches

66, 66, 60, 59, 69, 71, 62, 63, 64, 67, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 62, 69, 70

Calculation:

Ordered set of data

59, 60, 62, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 66, 66, 66, 67, 67, 68, 69, 69, 70, 71 n=18

Where n is number of frequencies

nis even

Then, middle terms are 66, 66

Then, median is mean of these two terms

  Algebra 1, Homework Practice Workbook (MERRILL ALGEBRA 1), Chapter SH, Problem 10.1EP , additional homework tip 4

On solving,

Median=66

Hence, median of height is 66 inches.

Answer to Problem 10.1EP

Mode is 66 inches.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Height in inches

66, 66, 60, 59, 69, 71, 62, 63, 64, 67, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 62, 69, 70

Calculation:

Ordered set of data

59, 60, 62, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 66, 66, 66, 67, 67, 68, 69, 69, 70, 71 Highest frequency of the set of data is called mode.

Highest frequency is 66

Hence, mode is 66 inches.
