Answer:
The standard deviation increased but there was no change in the interquantile range
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following data in the question:
320, 411, 348, 537, 420, 449, 462, 403, 454, 517, 515, 358, 438, 541, 387, 368, 502, 437, 431, 428.
n = 20
a) Formula:
where are data points, is the mean and n is the number of observations.
Sum of squares of differences =
13525.69 + 640.09 + 7796.89 + 10140.49 + 265.69 + 161.29 + 660.49 + 1108.89 + 313.29 + 6512.49 + 6193.69 + 6130.89 + 2.89 + 10962.09 + 2430.49 + 4664.89 + 4316.49 + 0.49 + 28.09 + 68.89 = 75924.2
Sorted Data = 320, 348, 358, 368, 387, 403, 411, 420, 428, 431, 437, 438, 449, 454, 462, 502, 515, 517, 537, 541
IQR =
b) After changing the observation
0, 411, 348, 537, 420, 449, 462, 403, 454, 517, 515, 358, 438, 541, 387, 368, 502, 437, 431, 428
Sum of squares of differences =
176652.09 + 86.49 + 5227.29 + 13618.89 + 0.09 + 823.69 + 1738.89 + 299.29 + 1135.69 + 9350.89 + 8968.09 + 3881.29 + 313.29 + 14568.49 + 1108.89 + 2735.29 + 6674.89 + 278.89 + 114.49 + 59.29 = 247636.2
Sorted Data = 0, 348, 358, 368, 387, 403, 411, 420, 428, 431, 437, 438, 449, 454, 462, 502, 515, 517, 537, 541
IQR =
Thus. the standard deviation increased but there was no change in the interquantile range.
