Consider a sample with data values of 26, 27, 20, 15, 30, 34, 28, and 20. Compute the range, interquartile range, variance, and standard deviation (to a maximum of 2 decimals, if decimals are necessary).

Answer:

[tex]r=19[/tex]

[tex]IQR=9[/tex]

[tex]SD=5.81[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data set:

[tex]26, 27, 20, 15, 30, 34, 28,20[/tex]

To find the range of a data set we have to find the largest and the smallest number of the set and then subtract them.

[tex]26, 27, 20, 15, 30, 34, 28,20[/tex]

[tex]34-15=19[/tex]

[tex]r=19[/tex]

To find the interquartile range we have to subtract the third quartile by the first quartile.

[tex]26, 27, 20, 15, 30, 34, 28,20[/tex]

[tex]IQR=Q3-Q1[/tex]

[tex]Q1=20[/tex]

[tex]Q3=29[/tex]

[tex]IQR=29-20=9[/tex]

[tex]IQR=9[/tex]

To find the standard deviation of a data set we have to use the formula to calculate standard deviation with the given values.

[tex]SD=\frac{(26-25)^2+...+(20-25)^2}{8}[/tex]

[tex]SD=\frac{270}{8} =\sqrt{33.75} =5.8094750193111[/tex]

[tex]5.8094750193111[/tex]

[tex]9>5[/tex]

[tex]SD=5.81[/tex]

Hope this helps.
