Raptors 2011 Below are the lengths of all the Toronto Raptor loss streaks in the 2011–2012 season: 3, 2, 8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1, 4, 4a) Construct a stem-and-leaf plot for these data.b) Calculate the median, the 5% trimmed mean (see previous exercise), and the ordinary mean. Place
c) Explain the relative order of the three measures in each of the above data sets. Note that the ordinary mean is just a 0% trimmed mean and the median is essentially a 50% trimmed mean. A 5% or 10% trimmed mean can be a nice compromise between these two measures, more resistant than the mean,
Trimmed mean We can make the ordinary mean a more resistant measure by trimming off a certain percent of the biggest values and the smallest values. Let TrMean(x%) represent the mean of the data after placing the data in order from smallest to biggest and deleting x% at each end. So the 10% trimmed
