Answer:
(a) The sample mean and sample standard deviation are 2.415 and 0.5342 respectively.
(b) Shown below.
Step-by-step explanation:
The data set provided is:
S = {1.75, 1.92, 2.62, 2.35, 3.09, 3.15, 2.53, and 1.91}
(a)
Compute the sample mean and sample standard deviation as follows:
[tex]\bar x=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{i}{x_{i}} =\frac{1}{8}\times 19.32=2.415\\\\\\s=\sqrt{\frac{1}{n-1}\sum\limits_{i}{(x_{i}-\bar x^{2})^{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{8-1}\times 1.9976}=0.5342[/tex]
Thus, the sample mean and sample standard deviation are 2.415 and 0.5342 respectively.
(b)
Use SPSS to form a Box plot.
