Answer to Problem 16CR

Solution:

The first quartile is Q1=13.593 and the third quartile is Q3=16.449.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

μ=15.0

σ=2.1

Description:

In statistics, a measurable function that is used to represent outcomes or occurrences of random phenomenon as real numbers is defined as a random variable.

The normal (also known as Gaussian or Gauss-Laplacian) distribution is the most prevalent continuous probability distribution function and the real world hosts a milieu of the variables that are normally distributed and the probability density function is given by:

f(x|μ,σ2)=12πσ2e(xμ)22σ2

Where, x is the value of the random variable while μ is the mean and the variance of the random variable which is normally distributed as σ2.

The normal Gaussian distribution with the following characteristics:

μ=0, and

σ=1

is called standard normal distribution.

The appropriate probability density function transforms to

f(x|0,1)=12πex22

A normal distribution can be converted to standard normal distribution by defining the z-score and vice versa using a relation that is represented by using the following transformation:

z=xμσ

Where x is the value of random variable and μ, σ are the mean and standard deviation of original normal distribution respectively.

The first quartile is defined as the middle point between smallest numbers and median that has the z-value (za) corresponding to the area:

P(zza)=0.25.

The third quartile is defined as the mid-point between median and largest number that has z-value (zb) corresponding to the area:

P(zzb)=0.75.

Initially, the z-values corresponding to first and third quartiles are looked up from table after which x-values are computed using the relation:

x=z×σ+μ.

Calculation:

The first quartile is obtained at the position in the table where the value is 0.25 as:

za=0.67

Whose equivalent x-value is:

Q1=(0.67)×2.1+15.0=13.593

The third quartile is obtained at the position in the table where the value is 0.75 as:

zb=0.69

Whose equivalent x-value is:

Q3=(0.69)×2.1+15.0=16.449

Conclusion:

The first quartile is Q1=13.593 and the third quartile is Q3=16.449.

Answer to Problem 16CR

Solution:

The value of the mean is 3434 and third quartile is 3572.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

σ=200

First quartile Q1=3300

Description:

In statistics, a measurable function that is used to represent outcomes or occurrences of random phenomenon as real numbers is defined as a random variable.

The normal (also known as Gaussian or Gauss-Laplacian) distribution is the most prevalent continuous probability distribution function and the real world hosts a milieu of the variables that are normally distributed and the probability density function is given by:

f(x|μ,σ2)=12πσ2e(xμ)22σ2

where, x is the value of the random variable while μ is the mean and the variance of the random variable which is normally distributed as σ2.

The normal Gaussian distribution with the following characteristics:

μ=0, and

σ=1 is called standard normal distribution.

The appropriate probability density function transforms to

f(x|0,1)=12πex22

A normal distribution can be converted to standard normal distribution by defining the z-score and vice versa using a relation that is represented by using the following transformation:

z=xμσ

where x is the value of random variable and μ σ are the mean and standard deviation of original normal distribution respectively.

The first quartile is defined as the middle point between smallest numbers and median that has the z-value (za) corresponding to the area:

P(zza)=0.25.

The third quartile is defined as the mid-point between median and largest number that has z-value (zb) corresponding to the area:

P(zzb)=0.75.

Using the first quartile, the corresponding z-value is obtained and the mean is computed using:

μ=xz×σ.

Thereafter, the third quartile x-value is calculated using the relation:

x=z×σ+μ.

Calculation:

The z-value corresponding to first quartile from the standard normal table is as:

z=0.67 is calculated above

Then, the mean is:

μ=(3300)(0.67)×(200)=3434

Thereafter, the z-value corresponding third quartile from the standard normal table is as:

z=0.69

Then, the third quartile x-value is:

Q3=(0.69)×(200)+(3434)=3572

Conclusion:

The value of the mean is 3434 and third quartile is 3572.

Answer to Problem 16CR

Solution:

The required mean is 69.78 and standard deviation is 22.06.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

First quartile Q1=55

Third quartile Q3=85

Description:

In statistics, a measurable function that is used to represent outcomes or occurrences of random phenomenon as real numbers is defined as a random variable.

The normal (also known as Gaussian or Gauss-Laplacian) distribution is the most prevalent continuous probability distribution function and the real world hosts a milieu of the variables that are normally distributed and the probability density function is given by:

A normal distribution can be converted to standard normal distribution by defining the z-score that is represented by using the following transformation:

z=xμσ

where x is the value of random variable and μ σ are the mean and standard deviation of original normal distribution respectively, specifically, the x-value can be represented as:

x=z×σ+μ.

The first quartile is defined as the middle point between smallest numbers and median that has the z-value (za) corresponding to the area:

P(zza)=0.25.

The third quartile is defined as the mid-point between median and largest number that has z-value (zb) corresponding to the area:

P(zzb)=0.75.

The z-values corresponding to the first and third quartiles are looked up in the standard tables and then using the transformation relations, two equations are obtained from where the mean and standard deviation values are computed.

Calculation:

The z-value corresponding to first quartile from the standard normal table is as:

z1=0.67,z3=0.69

Q3Q1=(z3z1)σ8555=(0.69+0.67)σ

σ=301.36=22.06

Conclusion:

The required mean is 69.78 and standard deviation is 22.06.

Answer to Problem 16CR

Solution:

The value of standard deviation is 0.58 and the first quartile is 1.4114.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

μ=1.8

Q3=2.2

Description:

z=xμσ

where x is the value of random variable and μ, σ are the mean and standard deviation of original normal distribution respectively, specifically, the x-value can be represented as:

x=z×σ+μ.

The first quartile (Q1) is defined as the middle point between smallest numbers and median that has the z-value (za) corresponding to the area:

P(zza)=0.25.

The third quartile (Q3) is defined as the mid-point between median and largest number that has z-value (zb) corresponding to the area:

P(zzb)=0.75.

The relation between first quartile, mean and third quartile is:

Q1+Q32=μ.

The z-value corresponding to third quartile is computed and then the standard deviation is obtained is computed using the relation above.

Since mean and third quartile are given, the first quartile is computed using the relation above.

Calculation:

The z-value corresponding to third quartile from the standard normal table is as:

z3=0.69

Then, the value of standard deviation is:

σ=Q3μz

σ=2.21.80.69=0.58

Z-score of the first quartile is -0.67

Q1=μ+zσ=1.8+(0.67)(0.58)=1.4114

Conclusion:

The value of standard deviation is 0.58 and the first quartile is 1.4114.
