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:

Am I correct on this one? @ganeshie8

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

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):
sqrt(2) is right !
OpenStudy (campbell_st):
have we passed the quiz yet..?

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

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

```
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 ?

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
