NOTE: Read th feel for the activity before continuing. Make sure to save this Excel file often using the filename "yournameActi your answers to this activity by attaching your Excel file through the completion link in the Unit 2 Activity 4 ass Blackboard. Use the area to the near right in this Excel worksheet when calculating any statistics/parameters fro Overview: This activity has three major purposes. First, it is designed to show the importance of examining the data p calculations. Second, the activity should help you recognize the difference between a discrete random varia variable. Finally, the activity is designed to help you see how the statistical analysis differ for both types of d answering the questions below comes from the data collected in the Unit 1a Activity. The sample data set c course originally had a size of n = 184. However to make the set a bit more manageable for beginning stati values were selected. You may recognize your own data within this set if you were one of the randomly sele complied in the attached worksheet titled Original Data Set for Analysis...see the tab at the bottom of this do 1. The first step with analyzing data is to make sure the all data values were entered correctly and seem to be this is called cleaning the data. More formally one would also look for possible outliers using a process (l whether or not to include these data in further analysis. In general, a valid and well established argument s of any data from a data set; removal of any collected data should NOT be done arbitrarily or to skew the dat Analyze the data given in the ATTACHED worksheet (see this worksheet below as "Original Data Set for An discussed in the first unit, find the one outlier within the Height variable. You must show use of the 1.5IQR r an outlier exists, give the individual's ID# and data as your answer below to this question #1. FINALLY, cop designated region at the right (several columns over) on THIS sheet and then delete that one row of data fro data will NOT be used in any other calculations performed in answering questions in #2 and #3 below. You data in the region to the right when finished with this problem. 2. For this problem, focus only on the the Family Size variable in the data setyou are using the table row chosen in answering #1, correct? Defining the random variable X to be family size, complete a. What makes X a discrete random variable and not a continuous one? X is a discrete random variable because the collection of values is finite or countable,th them individually. X is a discrete random variable because the collection of values is finite or countable,th them individually. b. In the area to the right, create a probability distribution table showing the possible values of X the associated relative frequency values P(X) as determined by the collected data. c. Determine the expected value (mean) of the random variable X using your probability distri directly above. (Hint: the requirment is to use only the information in the table you produced data---see how to produce the mean from a probability distribution table via the Excel Guides equivalent text's method explained in Section 5-2.) MEAN : d. Determine the standard deviation of the random variable X, again using only the values within table. (You can check your answers by finding the population s.d. of the data on family size, B answered through use of only the probability distribution table built in part b--same hint applie St. Deviation : e. Applying the Range Rule of Thumb, decide if any of the included values of the random variab "unusual" and "outlier" are not the same thing.) Give a concluding statement below in regard f. Create a probability statement which is supported by the values in the probability distribution probability that a randomly selected member of this group comes from a family of size 2 or les 3. Now consider your cleaned data in reference to the foot length variable of the students. Notice that quantitative, continuous, ratio level in type. (This portion of the activity is Based on Workshop Statistics, Rossman, p a. In the area to the right, copy the foot length values (again take the cleaned data set of 100 valu from least to greatest. From this column of foot length values, create an appropriate frequency remember, we did such frequency charts back in Unit 1. For the next part b, you may choose t the same time. Finally extend your frequency table to include a relative frequency column. b. Produce a histogram for your frequency table (if you did not do so as you constructed your tab of the footlength values appear to be roughly normal? Explain your answer briefly. c. Compute the mean and standard deviation of the foot length values...not from the frequency ta above but as done in the first unit, assuming this is sample data of all stats students. Sample mean, xbar: Sample std. deviation, s: d. Determine the proportion of the students in this sample whose footlength is at most 24 cm. e. Suppose that the foot lengths in the population of all university students taking elementary st normal distribution (though our group did not) with the population mean = 25 cm and popul deviation = 2.7 cm . Under this assumption, determine the proportion of all students who ha most 24 cm. (HINT: this calculation is related to the concepts covered in text section 6-2 and NAME: ng questions.
