Find the range, sample variance, and sample standard deviation of the numbers of medals won by these countries. 1 2 3 3 4 9 9 11 11 11 14 14 19 22 23 24 25 29

Respuesta :

The range, standard deviation, and variance of the numbers of medals won by these countries are 28, 8.845, and 78.2353, respectively.

What is a Range?

A range is given to a parameter to allow maximum leverage to the parameter. for example, if a vendor wants a rod of diameter 20 cm, then he may give a range of ±1 cm., which means he will accept the rod of 19(20-1) cm to 21(20+1) cm.

The range  of the numbers of medals won by these countries is,

Range =  Max - Min = 29 - 1 = 28

To find the standard deviation we need to know the following details,

  • Sum of the number of medals = ∑x = 234
  • Sum of the square of the number of medals = ∑x² = 4372
  • Number of observations = n = 18

Now, the standard deviation of medals won by these countries is,

[tex]\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\sum x^2 - \frac1n (\sum x)^2}{n-1}}\\\\\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{\4372 - \frac{234^2}{18}}{18-1}}\\\\\sigma = 8.845[/tex]

The variance of the numbers of medals won by these countries is,

v = σ²

v = 78.2353

Hence, the range, standard deviation, and variance of the numbers of medals won by these countries are 28, 8.845, and 78.2353, respectively.
