Answer 1

Answer:

a) Range = 4

b) Variance = 1.274823

c) standard deviation = 1.12908

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to extract the f scale values from the list of value. Note that there are 2 missing values cases in f scale dataset. The moment you are able to extract the values. Other procedures are simple.

If you are familiar with R programming, try this on your own.

fscale = c(2,1,2,2,2,2,0,1,0,0,1,3,0,3,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,2,1,4,4,0

,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,2,0,3,0,1,0,3,0)

length(fscale)  # . this tells us the number of observations that f scale has.

range(fscale)

var(fscale)

sd(fscale)

If you do this, your range value with give [0, 4]. Which means the minimum value is zero (0) and the maximum value is four (4). When you take the difference, you have 4.
