Question:

Francis Galton (1894) presented the following data on the flight speeds of 3207 “old” homing pigeons traveling at least 90 miles. 

Frequency 800 600 400 200 0 500 700 900 1100 1300 1500 Speed (yards/min)

a. What type of graph is this?

b. Examine the graph and visually determine the approximate value of the mean (to the nearest 100 yards per minute). Explain how you obtained your estimate.

c. Examine the graph and visually determine the approximate value of the median (to the nearest 100 yards per minute). Explain how you obtained your estimate.

d. Examine the graph and visually determine the approximate value of the mode (to the nearest 100 yards per minute). Explain how you obtained your estimate.

e. Examine the graph and visually determine the approximate value of the standard deviation (to the nearest 50 yards per minute). Explain how you obtained your estimate.
