Derek's collection:

Mean = 1929

Median = 1930

Range = 54

IQR = 48

MAD = 23.75

Paul's collection:

Mean = 1929

Median = 1929.5

Range = 15

IQR = 6

MAD = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1950, 1952, 1908, 1902, 1955, 1954, 1901, 1910

Mean is given by:

(1950+1952 + 1908+1902+1955+1954+1901+1910) / 8

=1929

absolute deviation from mean is:

|1950-1929| = 21

|1952-1929| = 23

|1908-1929| = 21

|1902-1929| = 27

|1955-1929| = 26

|1954-1929| = 25

|1901-1929| = 28

|1910-1929| = 19

from the mean of absolute deviation gives the MAD of the data i. e.

(21+23+21+27+26+25+28+'9) / 8

23.75

:arrange the given data to get the range and median

1901 1902 1908 1910 1950 1952 1954 1955

The minimum value is: 1901

Maximum value is: 1955

Range is: Maximum value-minimum value

Range=1955-1901

Range = 54

median is (1910+1950) / 2

1930

the lower set of data=

1901 1902 1908 1910

first quartile becomes

1902+1908) / 2

Q1=1905

and upper set of data is:

1950 1952 1954 1955

we find the median of the upper quartile or third quartile is:

1952+1954) / 2=1953

Q3-Q1=1953-1905=

IQR=48

Paul's collection:

1929, 1935, 1928, 1930, 1925, 1932, 1933, 1920

Mean is given by:

1929+1935 + 1928 + 1930 + 1925 + 1932+1933+1920) / 8

1929

absolute deviation from mean is:

|1929-1929|=0

|1935-1929| = 6

|1928-1929| = 1

|1930-1929| = 1

|1925-1929| = 4

|1932-1929| = 3

|1933-1929| = 4

|1920-1929| = 9

Hence, we get:

MAD=0+6+1+1+4+3+4+9/8

28/8

3.5

arrange the data in ascending order we get:

1920 1925 1928 1929 1930 1932 1933 1935

Minimum value = 1920

Maximum value = 1935

Range = 15 (1935-1920=15)

The median is between 1929 and 1930

Hence, Median = 1929.5

Also, lower set of data is:

1920 1925 1928 1929

the first quartile or upper quartile is

1925+1928/2

1926.5

and the upper set of data is:

1930 1932 1933 1935

We have

1932+1933) / 2

1932.5

IQR is calculated as:

Q3-Q1

6
