    Study Notes

    Data Analysis and Statistics

    • Mean: 8.23 for a data set of 17 values
    • Median: 9 for the same data set
    • Mode: 8.9 for the same data set
    • Range: 2.1 (calculated as 9.1 - 7.0)
    • Variance: 0.581
    • Standard Deviation: 0.76 (calculated from the variance)
    • Mean: 6630, 112 for different data sets

    Calculating Z-Scores

    • Formula: z = (X - μ) / σ (where X is the value, μ is the mean, and σ is the standard deviation)
    • Example Calculation (for Z-score for 214mg/dL):
      • z = (214 - 182) / 32 = 102/32 = 0.72 (rounded)
    • Calculation Showing Negative Z-Score: z= (102) / (-1.58)= -1.58
    • Another calculation: 214mg/dL, with mean 182mg/dL and standard deviation= 32 = (214-182)/32 =102/32 = 3.10

    Weighted Average

    • Three weights and the associated scores determine Alan's final course grade -Tests: weighted 4x15% -Alan's scores: 80, 78, 92, 84 -Term paper: weighted 20% - score: 84 -Final exam: weighted 20% -score: 88
    • Formula: (Tests total x 0.15) + (Term paper x 0.20) + (Final exam x 0.20)
    • Weighted average: 84.5
    • Alan's final course grade was calculated based on the above weights and scores.

    Percentiles and Quartiles

    • P25 (25th percentile) calculation: 75 + 0.75 * (85 - 75) = 82.5
    • D5 (Median): 75
    • D9 (90th percentile) calculation:116 + 0.9 * (132 - 116) = 129.8
