FEW SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR HELP. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST SHOW THE

FORMULAS USED FOR EVERY PROBLEM.

1) [FOR TABLE: A] Ordering the data in ascending form, we get

5 7 8 10 10 12 12 12

12 16 19 19 22 25 38 41

Here we have 16 data values.

a) TRIMMED MEAN

10% Trimmed Mean: We have 10% of 16 = 1.6 ~ 2 { (10

100) × 16 = 1.6 }

Hence Trim 2 data points from both the ends of the ordered data. So we have 12

remaining points.

5, 7, 8, 10, 10, 12, 12, 12, 12, 16, 19, 19, 22, 25, 38, 41

The Mean of 12 points is the 10% Trimmed mean and is obtained by summing

the remaining 12 data points and dividing by 12.

10% Trimmed mean, �̅� =∑ 𝑥𝑖

𝑛=

177

12= 14.75


100) × 16 = 2.4 }


remaining points. Which in turn gives us the same trimmed mean as we have for 10%

above.

b) Five Number Summary: 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 = 5;

𝑄1 =10 + 10

2= 10; 𝑄2 =

12 + 12

2= 12; 𝑄3 =

19 + 22

2= 20.5

𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 = 41; 𝐼𝑄𝑅 = 𝑄3 – 𝑄1 = 20.5 – 10 = 10.5

c) Box Plot:

Outlier Identification:

Any point which does not fall in the interval (𝑄1 − 1.5 ∗ 𝐼𝑄𝑅, 𝑄3 + 1.5 ∗ 𝐼𝑄𝑅) is considered as

an outlier.

i.e., ( 𝟏𝟎 – (𝟏. 𝟓 ∗ 𝟏𝟎. 𝟓), 𝟐𝟎. 𝟓 + (𝟏. 𝟓 ∗ 𝟏𝟎. 𝟓)) = ( −𝟓. 𝟕𝟓, 𝟑𝟔. 𝟐𝟓 ). Hence the potential outliers in

the data are 38 and 41.

[FOR TABLE: B] Ordering the data in ascending form, we get

3, 7, 10, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 20, 24

a) TRIMMED MEAN

10% Trimmed Mean: We have 10% of 10 = 1 { (10

100) × 10 = 1}

Hence Trim 1 data point from both the ends of the ordered data. So we have 8

remaining points.

3, 7, 10, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 20, 24

The Mean of 8 points is the 10% Trimmed mean and is obtained by summing the

remaining 8 data points and dividing by 8.


𝑛=

105

8= 13.125


100) × 10 = 1.5 }


remaining points.

3, 7, 10, 10, 11, 13, 15, 19, 20, 24

The Mean of 6 points is the 15% Trimmed mean and is obtained by summing

these remaining 6 data points and dividing by 6.


𝑛=

78

6= 13

b) Five Number Summary: 𝑀𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 = 3;

𝑄1 = 10; 𝑄2 =11 + 13

2= 12; 𝑄3 = 19

𝑀𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑚𝑢𝑚 = 24; 𝐼𝑄𝑅 = 𝑄3 – 𝑄1 = 19 – 10 = 9

Outlier Identification:

Any point which does not fall in the interval (𝑄1 − 1.5 ∗ 𝐼𝑄𝑅, 𝑄3 + 1.5 ∗ 𝐼𝑄𝑅) is

considered as an outlier.

i.e., ( 𝟏𝟎 – (𝟏. 𝟓 ∗ 𝟗), 𝟏𝟗 + (𝟏. 𝟓 ∗ 𝟗)) = ( −𝟑. 𝟓, 𝟑𝟐. 𝟓 )

Hence there are NO potential outliers in the data.
