Introduction to Statistics and Data
Analysis
1.1 (a) 15.
(b) x̄ = 1 (3.4 + 2.5 + 4.8 + · · · + 4.8) = 3.787.
15
(c) Sample median is the 8th value, after the data is sorted from smallest to largest: 3.6.
(d) A dot plot is shown below.
2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5.0 5.5
(e) After trimming total 40% of the data (20% highest and 20% lowest), the data
becomes:
2.9 3.0 3.3 3.4 3.6
3.7 4.0 4.4 4.8
So. the trimmed mean is
1
x̄tr 2 0 = (2.9 + 3.0 + · · · + 4.8) = 3.678.

1.2 (a) Mean=20.768 and Median=20.610.
(b) x̄ tr 10 = 20.743.
(c) A dot plot is shown below.
