2 answers:
The question is incomplete as the stem and leaf plot required to to provide data for y question isn't given.
In other to help with this question, I have attached a stem and leaf plot with 10 data values and I will be calculating the required statistical measures for the dataset. The knowledge can thus be applied to solve similar questions on your exact data set.
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we need to write out values if the dataset :
Each value in the dataset is a combination of the stem and the corresponding leaf or leaves.
For the stem plot attached :
Dataset , X : 08, 12, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 31, 35, 40
The mean :
Σx / n
n = sample size = 10
= 225 / 10
= 22.5
Arranging data on ascending order :
08, 12, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 31, 35, 40
The median :
1/2(n+1)th term
1/2(11)th term = 5.5 th term = (5+6)th term / 2
Median = (19+22)/2 = 20.5
Mode = all dataset (since they all occur once).
Range = (maximum - minimum) = 40 - 8 = 32
Interquartile range : (Q3 - Q1)
Q3 = 3/4(n+1)th term ; 3/4(11) = 8.25th term
Q3 = (8th + 9th) term / 2 = (31+35)/2 = 33
Q1 = 1/4(n+1)th term ; 1/4(11)th term = 2.75 th term
Q1 = (12+17)/2 = 14.5
Interquartile range : (Q3 - Q1) = 33 - 14.5 = 18.5
