He computes both the mean and median family income across all students and is surprised to find that the mean income is much higher than the median income. What is the most likely reason for the difference in the mean and the median? Select one: a. The sample size is too small. b. The median tends to produce lower estimates of central tendency. c. The median is not an appropriate estimate for annual family income's level of measurement. Incorrect d. The mean is more affected by a small number of extreme values.arrow_forward
- The following data shows the cost of electricity (in $) during July 2015 for a random sample of 50 one-bedroom apartments in a large city. a.Form a frequency distribution for the above data. b. Find arithmetic mean based on the frequency distribution you developed.arrow_forwardA survey has been conducted recently to study the hourly wages of part-time employees at the Food Delivery services sector. The result was organized into the following frequency distribution. Hourly Wages Number of Part-time Employees $40 − less than $50 12 $50 − less than $60 26 $60 − less than $70 35 $70 − less than $80 17 $80 − less than $90 8 $90 − less than $100 2 (i) Calculate the mean, mode and standard deviation of the hourly wages. (ii) Calculate the coefficient of variation. (iii) If the median is equal to 64, calculate Pearson’s 2nd coefficient of skewness and interpret your answer briefly. (iv) The government wants to carry out similar survey next year. If the error of a point estimate of the mean is not more than $1.5, use the 97% confidence level to determine the sample size required to achieve this error.arrow_forwardStudents in an experimental psychology class did research on depression as a sign of stress.
