ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

how many total numbers are there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

17

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes ! so the median is 9th observation

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

to get the first quartile, you need to find the median of first 8 observations

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

whats the median of first 8 numbers ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

27.5 o:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I correct on this one? @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Need help finding the IQR...

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

the -5 is correct

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

what numbers do you think are the quartiles...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

24 and 65..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

`min, Q1, median, Q3, max`

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

24 is the minimum and 65 is the maximum score... so what numbers are left...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36,42 and 57

OpenStudy (anonymous):

57-36?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

You got it !

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

that will give the IQR... 42 is the median

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I need the IQR lol.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well use IQR = 57 - 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I do this one?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

do you have a calculator...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

finding the mean should be trivial, can u find the mean ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well can you put it in stats mode and use the functions...to find the standard deviation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

what is it ? once u have the mean, subtracting it from the observations is also trivial, what are the differences ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes ! mean = 19

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 19? final answer..?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

19 is mean, not standard deviation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh so what do I do now?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for standard deviation, u need to find RMS (root mean square) value of the differences

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is square root 2?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you need to get friendly wid this nasty looking formula : http://www.revisionworld.com/sites/revisionworld.com/files/imce/sdeviation2.gif

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sqrt(2) is right !

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

have we passed the quiz yet..?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

btw thats for population standard deviation ^ for sample standard deviation, use this : http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ClgskLBxLjQ/Ut-smPagORI/AAAAAAAAA4k/q_u7caTUj-0/s1600/stdev_s.gif

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

assume its a `population` if nothing is specified or its not clear based on context

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Help @ganeshie8 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't it 12?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

it is

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes ! we multiply all the choices as u want to selec them one after another; its same as selecting pant and shirt to wear

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

thats the fundemental theorem of counting

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Look : you got 2 states, and each state has 13 counties

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means there are a total of 2*13 = 26 counties, right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 26..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

No, the question is about cities, and NOT about counties

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

So you have 26 counties, and each county has 16 cities

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

can u tell how many total cities are there ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

416

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes ! so basically this is also same as previous problem : select a state ---> select a county ----> select a city

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

2 x 13 x 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

``` Bag1 : yellow, red, blue Bag2 : yellow, red, blue Bag3 : yellow, red, blue, green ```

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

And you want to pick one ball from each bag, right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sorry was not getting notifications @xXxBambyGirlxXx

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

3 ways for Bag1, 3 ways for Bag2, 4 ways for Bag3 so total outcomes = 3x3x4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

all the last 3-4 problems you have asked are equivalent... they all use the same principle : product rule of counting
