Calculation:
Q1=1×(N+14)th postion=1×(25+14)th postion=6.5=6th position +0.5(7th−6th)=3+0.5(4−3)=3.5
Q3=3×(N+14)th postion=3×(25+14)th postion=19.5=19th position+0.5(20th−19th)=11+0.5(12−11)=11.5Q3=7

Answer to Problem 2.29E
43 and 45 are extremely high outliers.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
43 45 72 73 78 80 81 82 82.5 85 85.5 86 86 87.5 87.5
88 88 88 89 91 91 92 93 93.5 93.5 94.5 94.5 95 96 98
Formula used:
For greater than Q3+1.5(IQR) and
For lesser than Q1−1.5(IQR)
Calculation:
Q3+1.5(IQR)=11.5+1.5(8)=23.5Q1−1.5(IQR)=3.5−1.5(8)=−8.5
An outlier is an extremely high or extremely low value in the data set. It can be identify an outlier if it is greater than Q3+1.5(IQR) and lesser then Q1−1.5(IQR) and there is only one outlier which is extremely high outliers 35.

- 1. Differentiate between discrete and continuous random variables, providing examples for each type. 2. Consider a discrete random variable representing the number of patients visiting a clinic each day. The probabilities for the number of visits are as follows: 0 visits: P(0) = 0.2 1 visit: P(1) = 0.3 2 visits: P(2) = 0.5 Using this information, calculate the expected value (mean) of the number of patient visits per day. Show all your workings clearly.

ANALYSIS OF LAST DIGITS Heights of statistics students were obtained by the author as part of an experiment conducted for class. The last digits of those heights are listed below. Construct a frequency distribution with 10 classes. Based on the distribution, do the heights appear to be reported or actually measured? Does there appear to be a gap in the frequencies and, if so, how might that gap be explained?
