Explanation / Answer
a) sample 1
Population size: 10
Median: 16.5
Minimum: 2
Maximum: 181
First quartile: 8
Third quartile: 24
Outlier: 181
range = 181 -2 = 179
variance = 2843.4333
sd = 53.3239
IQR = 14
sample 2
Population size: 10
Median: 23.5
Minimum: 11
Maximum: 36
Outliers: none
range = 36-11 = 25
variance = 69.0667
sd = 8.3106
IQR = 12
b)
b. Which data set is most spread out based on these statistics?
C .Sample 1 is correct
c)
sample 1
range = 27-2 = 25
variance = 69.6945
sd = 8.3483
IQR = 14
sample 2
range = 33-11 = 22
variance = 60.2778
sd = 7.7639
IQR = 14.5
d) Range is most affected by outliers
