Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the data provided.

(a)

Compute the mean of the data in seconds as follows:

Mean =AVERAGE(array)

         = 225.280 seconds

(b)

Compute the median of the data in seconds as follows:

Median =QUARTILE.EXC(array,2)

            = 229 seconds

(c)

Compute the variance of the data in seconds as follows:

Variance =VAR.S(array)

              = 1148.043 seconds

(d)

Compute the standard deviation of the data in seconds as follows:

Standard deviation =STDEV.S(F2:F26)

                              = 33.883 seconds.

(e)

Compute the median of the data in minutes as follows:

Median =QUARTILE.EXC(array,2)

            = 3.755 minutes.

(f)

Compute the median of the data in minutes as follows:

Median =QUARTILE.EXC(array,2)

            = 3.817 minutes

(g)

Compute the variance of the data in minutes as follows:

Variance =VAR.S(array)

              = 0.319 minutes

(h)

Compute the standard deviation of the data in minutes as follows:

Standard deviation =STDEV.S(F2:F26)

                              = 0.565 minutes.
