Nt1310 Unit 3 Case Study
b) From the data provided, the greatest variance is in the Height data collected, it was the most variable and most scattered
In addition to the large variance, it also had the greatest interquartile range, meaning that there was a large range or quantity of data between the first and third quartile
Moreover, height had the largest standard deviation, making the spread of the data quite wide and somewhat more scattered compared to the other two sets of data
In contrast, right cubit length had the smallest variance, making the data less spread out, less scattered compared to the heights of people
Also, right cubit length had the smalls standard deviation making the spread of the data less spread

The variance of wingspan is quite large compared to the variance of right cubit length. In context of the data provided, for such a small sample size, this is quite a large variance. This means that there is a great amount of variability in people's wingspans. It is very different and very large compared to the variance of right cubit length.
Moreover, wingspan also a notable standard deviation, though not as large as the standard deviation of the height, it symbolizes the sizeable difference of people's wingspans in the data collected. Though, it is larger than the standard deviation of right cubic length, in terms of what is being measured, it is acceptable.
Wingspan also has a larger IQR compared to the right cubit length data. The large numbers involved in this study like, 66.3 cm will create more variance and a greater range compared to data collected about right cubit

    The mean (or sum of data entries divided by number of entries) of 2270, is only very slightly larger than the median (the data at the middle of the sample), and the mode (the data entry that occurs with the greatest frequency) which are both the same at 2207. This represents a very slight affect by the outliers at the high and low ends of the data sample, indicating that the mean presents the most accurate description of the data set. (Larson & Farber, 2011. pgs. 66, 67, 68). [See Exhibit A].…

    Overall a majority of the points are either on or close to the line, with only a couple ranging out slightly further away from the line. The graph comparing height and head circumference has more points that are 'close' to the line compared to the other two graphs. The reasoning to this is that there were fewer variations in the data from individuals. Seven points are below the trend line, five are above and three are sitting exactly on the trend line. The spread is overall fairly even on each side of the trend line, though below the trend line the points are slightly more spaced out than the points above the trend line.…

    Size is the most understandable data to me because it clearly shows that most of the customers sampled had a household size of 2. As you can see from the graph below size 2 is over double the size of most of the other data. The mean of the household size data is 3.42 and the standard deviation is 1.739. According to the histogram the data is mostly skewed to the right.…

    -0.4903 is less than 3, flatter than a normal distribution with a wider peak. The probability for extreme values is less than for a normal distribution, and the values are wider spread around the mean. Similarly the negative skewness i.e. -0.035014 shows that the Left skewed distribution, most values are concentrated on the right of the mean, with extreme values to the left. Also Length of Stay have smaller standard deviation i.e. 2.61357 therefore smaller standard deviation indicates that there is less dispersion & less variability in the lengths of stay for cardiac patients. Also we see that the average value of 7.7 of the Lengths of stay for cardiac patients. Also we see that maximum 13 no of Lengths of Stay and minimum 2 no of Lengths of Stay (Weiss,…

    Further testing of the data with the four samples produced standard deviations of .22036, .22036, .20717, and .206611, respectively. All four samples are reasonably within the set assumption of .21 which can safely be assumed as to be a reasonable point estimator for this sampling operation because the variation is not outrageously outside of the mean set.…

It says:  Suppose the population has mean, m, and standard deviation s.  Then, if the sample size, n, is large enough, the distribution of the sample mean, x-bar will have a normal shape, the center will be the mean of the original population, m, and the standard deviation of the x-bars will be s divided by the square root of n.…
