I have a set of 341 measurements from a sample I collected. If I find the mean of those numbers, subtract that mean from each of the numbers, square the resulting numbers, add up those squares, and divide by 340, what do I get?
A. s^2
B. σ^2
C. μ
D. s
E. σ
F. x̄
2. How do you compute the sample variance of the numbers x1, x2, x3, x4, x5, x6, x7?
A. put them in ascending order and take the fourth one
B. pick the one that occurs most often
C. compute the sum of the squares of all the deviations and divide by 7
D. subtract the smallest from the largest
E. add them up and divide by 7
F. compute the sum of the squares of all the deviations and divide by 6, then take the square root
G. compute the sum of the squares of all the deviations and divide by 7, then take the square root
H. compute the sum of the squares of all the deviations and divide by 6
3. Thirty students took a test and got the following scores:
61, 70, 83, 83, 67, 83, 75, 88, 68, 76, 68, 86, 63, 79, 74, 69, 78, 79, 68, 93, 62, 69, 64, 71, 78, 83, 80, 77, 79, 63
To the nearest tenth, Q1 =
