How many bins would Sturge's Rule Suggest?

Create a histogram (using appropriate bins) and describe its shape (no need to include histogram)

Are there any outliers in this dataset? If yes, what are they?

Amount Paid for Dinner for Four Persons in Downtown Chicago (n = 28) Amount Paid 95 In compact block format: 103 95 103 109 170 114 113 107 109 124 105 80 104 84 176 115 170 69 95 134 108 61 160 128 114 68 95 61 150 52 87 136 113 107 124 105 80 104 84 176 115 69 95 134 108 61 160 128 68 95 61 150 52 87 136

Explanation / Answer

Answers:

Calculate the mean to the nearest hundredth:

Mean = 107.25

Calculate the Median:

Median = 106

Calculate the inter-quartile range

Inter-quartile range = Q3 – Q1

First Quartile Q1 = 84

Third Quartile Q3 = 128

Inter-quartile range = 128 – 84 = 44

Inter-quartile range = 44

Calculate the sample standard deviation:

Sample Standard deviation = 32.30712

Calculate the Range

Range = Maximum – minimum

Maximum = 176

Minimum = 52

Range = 176 – 52 = 124

Range = 124

How many bins would Sturge's Rule Suggest?

The Sturge’s rule is given as below:

K = 1 + 3.322*log(n)

Where, K is the number of classes and n is the size of the data

We are given n = 28

K = 1 + 3.322*log(28)

K = 5.80746

K = 6 bins approximately

Create a histogram (using appropriate bins) and describe its shape (no need to include histogram)

From the histogram for given data, it is observed that the data follows approximate normal distribution or bell shaped curve.

Are there any outliers in this dataset? If yes, what are they?

There are no outliers in this dataset.
