Question
Descriptive Statistics
Height of child (in cms):
Mean = 74.7349 Range: (67.40) Minimum = 33.90 Maximum = 101.30
Median = 74.100 Interq. range: 25 centile = 67.800 75 centile = 82.000
What do you notice about the Mean and the Median?
What does this tell you about the distribution of children’s heights?
Sick days:
Mean = 1.78 Range: (10) Minimum = 0 Maximum = 10
Median = 1 Interquartile range: 25 centile = 0.00 75 centile = 3.00
What do you notice about the Mean and the Median?
What does this tell you about the distribution of number of sick days?

Explanation / Answer
Heights of child:
Mean is greater than median. That is distribution is skewed to right slightly. It is not symmetric.
That is we can say that distribution of children’s heights is not symmetric. It is skewed to right slightly (not heavily).

Sick days:
Mean is greater than median. That is distribution is skewed to right. It is not symmetric.
That is we can say that distribution of sick days not symmetric. It is skewed to right heavily.
