(a)

To find:

The mean of the following set of raw material.

Answer to Problem 1CR

Solution:

The mean of the given set of raw material is 7.1.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given following set of raw material is,

581048106875

Formula used:

The mean is the ratio of the sum of the data points to the number of the data points.

Consider the mean formula,

x¯=xn

Here, the mean is x¯, the sum of the data points is x and the number of the data points n.

Calculation:

Consider the given set of raw materials,

581048106875

Consider the total sum of the raw materials,

x=5+8+10+4+8+10+6+8+7+5=71

Consider the total number of data points,

n=10

Consider the mean formula,

x¯=xn ……(1)

Substitute 10 for n and 71 for x in equation (1).

x¯=7110=7.1

Thus, the mean of the given set of raw material is 7.1.

Conclusion:

Thus, the mean of the given set of raw material is 7.1.

(b)

To find:

The median of the following set of raw material.

Answer to Problem 1CR

Solution:

The median of the given data is 9.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given following set of raw material is,

581048106875

Formula used:

The median is the middle value of a distribution of numbers.

Consider the median position formula,

L=n+12thvalue

Here, the median number position is L and the number of the data points n.

Consider the median number formula,

M=Rm1+Rm22

Here, the median number is M, the first middle data is Rm1 and the second middle data is Rm2.

Calculation:

Consider the given set of raw materials,

581048106875

Consider the total number of data points,

n=10

Consider the mean formula,

L=n+12thvalue ……(1)

Substitute 10 for n in equation (1).

L=10+12=112=5.5thvalue

Thus, the median of the given set of raw material is 5.5thvalue.

Consider the fifth raw material,

Rm1=8

Consider the sixth raw material,

Rm2=10

Consider the median number formula,

M=Rm1+Rm22 ….. (2)

Substitute 8 for Rm1 and 10 for Rm2 in equation (2).

M=8+102=182=9

Thus, the median of the given data is 9.

Conclusion:

Thus, the median of the given data is 9.

(c)

To find:

The mode of the following set of raw material.

Answer to Problem 1CR

Solution:

The mode of the given set of raw material is 8.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given following set of raw material is,

581048106875

Concept:

The mode is the data points with highest frequency. Because it represents the most common number, the mode can be viewed as an average.

Approach:

Consider the given set of raw materials,

581048106875

The frequency of the number 10 is 2.

The frequency of the number 8 is 3.

The frequency of the number 5 is 2.

The frequency of the number 4 is 1.

The frequency of the number 6 is 1.

The frequency of the number 7 is 1.

Therefore, the mode is 8, because it has the highest frequency 3.

Thus, the mode of the given set of raw material is 8.

Conclusion:

Thus, the mode of the given set of raw material is 8.

(d)

To find:

The standard derivation of the following set of raw material.

Answer to Problem 1CR

Solution:

The standard derivation of the given set of raw material is 7.1.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given following set of raw material is,

581048106875

Formula used:

The mean is the ratio of the sum of the data points to the number of the data points.

The variance of the sample is found by dividing the sum of squares of the deviations by n1.

The square root of the variance is called standard variance.

Consider the mean formula,

x¯=xn

Here, the mean is x¯, the sum of the data points is x and the number of the data points n.

Consider the variance formula,

s=(xx¯)2n1

Here, the variance is s2, the mean is x¯ and the number of the data points n.

Consider the standard formula,

d=s

Here, the standard deviation is d.

Calculation:

Consider the given set of raw materials,

x=581048106875

Consider the total sum of the raw,

x=5+8+10+4+8+10+6+8+7+5=71

Consider the total number of data points,

n=10

Consider the mean formula,

x¯=xn(1)

Substitute 10 for n and 71 for x in equation (1).

x¯=7110=7.1

Thus, the mean of the given set of raw material is 7.1.

Consider sum of squares of the deviations,

(xx¯)2=[(57.1)2+(87.1)2+(107.1)2+(47.1)2+(87.1)2+(107.1)2+(67.1)2+(87.1)2+(77.1)2+(57.1)2]=[(2.1)2+(0.9)2+(2.9)2+(3.1)2+(2.9)2+(2.9)2+(1.1)2+(0.9)2+(0.1)2+(2.1)2]=[4.41+0.81+8.41+9.61+8.41+8.41+1.21+0.81+0.01+4.41]=46.5

Consider the variance formula,

s=(xx¯)2n1(2)

Substitute 46.5 for (xx¯)2 and 10 for n in equation (2).

s=46.5101=46.59=5.16667

Therefore, the variance is 5.16667.

Consider the standard formula,

d=s... (3)

Substitute 5.16667 for s in the above mentioned standard deviation formula.

d=5.16667=2.273030

Thus, the standard deviation is 2.273030.

Conclusion:

Thus, the standard deviation is 2.273030.

Question 2: A company launches two different marketing campaigns to promote the same product in two different regions. After one month, the company collects the sales data (in units sold) from both regions to compare the effectiveness of the campaigns. The company wants to determine whether there is a significant difference in the mean sales between the two regions. Q: Is there a significant difference in the mean sales between the two regions? Use a 5% significance level. (2 points = 0.25x4 parts) Make null and alternative hypothesis for two sample T-test   Conduct Two Sample T test and provide a snapshot of results  Null: Alternative: Conclusion: Since the p value is (choose one: less / greater) than 5%,
Question 3: A marketing agency wants to determine whether different advertising platforms generate significantly different levels of customer engagement. The agency measures the average number of daily clicks on ads for three platforms: Social Media, Search Engines, and Email Campaigns. The agency collects data on daily clicks for each platform over a 10-day period and wants to test whether there is a statistically significant difference in the mean number of daily clicks among these platforms.
