be careful, notice how some of the dots are low salary and some are high salary, that means that people aren't necessarily making the same salary any other ideas based on the graph?
D?
since the dots are distributed randomly instead of a straight line or curve, we would expect *no correlation* between height and salary making A the best choice
first add them up and divide by the number of items there are in the list (there are 12 numbers in the list so you would divide the sum by 12)
12.75
good so that's your sol'n
ok, so there are 21 values, that means the median must be the 11th value, so start counting from the top of the graph until you reach the 11th value, that'll be your median
8 is the 11th value
good but keep in mind to read a stem and leaf plot you have to look at the left-most column to determine the value since the left most column for that value is 7, the value is 78 = your answer
keep in mind "less than 30" means anywhere between 0 to 30 so it's not just the green bar, you must add the red, yellow, and green bars together
75?
good so 75 = your answer
the third quartile is always going to be the right "edge" of the box|dw:1522967133985:dw|
|dw:1522967139274:dw|
49
good
this is kind of a pain to do by hand but you would have to find the median, divide the data sets into two halves based on the median, then find the value of QI (the median of the left half) and Q3: (the median of the right half) honestly I'd just plug these into a calcultor http://www.alcula.com/calculators/statistics/interquartile-range/
A little confused lol
manual method: 1. find the median 2. take all the values below the median and find the median of that sub-set (this is the Q1 value) 3. take all the values above the median and find the median of that sub-set (this is the Q3 value) 4. IQR = Q3 - Q1 calculator method: just type in all the data values into the calculator
It's important to know how to do it manually but to save some time I'd honestly recommend plugging it into the calculator, I end up getting 26
keep in mind they are at a mall which is where people usually go to buy clothing so they might spend more money on clothing than somebody who doesn't go to the mall, so it would be a biased sample
put them in order from greatest to least and find the value that is in the middle
100,93,89,86,74,72,67,60 86?
whoops, meant to say least to greatest anyway, I think you missed a few values, the complete list is: 60,67,72,74,74,83,86,86,86,89,93,100 since we have an even # of data points, we take the two in the middle (83 and 86), add them together, and divide by 2 to get the median which ends up being 84.5
ohh ok
"middle item" = median, not IQR
Okay thanks Voca!
