consider the following data set which is the time (in minutes) for students to finish a math test. 34 45 27 33 38 41 45 29 30 39 34 40 28 33 36 50 (a) what is the sample mean? (b) what is the sample standard deviation? (c) construct a 99% confidence interval for the population mean.



Answer :

a) Sample mean of set is 36.375.

b) Standard deviation of sample is 6.66208.

Define mean and standard deviation.

The average degree of variability in your dataset is represented by the standard deviation. It reveals the average deviation of each statistic from the mean. In general, values with a large standard deviation are spread out from the mean, and those with a low standard deviation are grouped together near to the mean.

Given,

a) Mean

Total number of values = 16

= Sum/Total number of values

=  34 +45+ 27 +33 +38+ 41+ 45 +29 +30+ 39 +34 +40 +28 +33 +36+ 50/16

= 582/16

= 36.375

Sample mean of set is 36.375.

b) Sample standard deviation

S² = ∈ (x i - x)²/N-1

S² = 666.75/16-1

S² = 44.383333

S = √44.38333

S = 6.66208

Standard deviation of sample is 6.66208.
