The accompanying data represent the miles per gallon of a random sample of cars with a three-cylinder, 1.0 liter engine. (a) compute the z-score corresponding to the individual who obtained 37.8 miles per gallon. interpret this result.
(b) determine the quartiles.
(c) compute and interpret the interquartile range, iqr.
(d) determine the lower and upper fences. are there anyoutliers?
31.5 36.0 37.8 38.5 40.1 42.2
34.2 36.2 38.1 38.7 40.6 42.5
34.7 37.3 38.2 39.5 41.4 43.4
35.6 37.6 38.4 39.6 41.7 49.3
the z-score corresponding to the individual is
and indicates that the data value is
standard deviation(s) the
the table is for the entire problem.

A.) - 0.2992

B.) Q1 = 36.75

Q2 = 38.45

Q3 = 41

C.) IQR = 4.25

D.) LOWER FENCE = 30.375

UPPER FENCE = 47.375

Yes, 49.3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data:

Arranged data in ascending order :

31.5, 34.2, 34.7, 35.6, 36.0, 36.2, 37.3, 37.6, 37.8, 38.1, 38.2, 38.4, 38.5, 38.7, 39.5, 39.6, 40.1, 40.6, 41.4, 41.7, 42.2, 42.5, 43.4, 49.3

Using calculator to save computation time :

Population mean (μ) = 38.88

Standard deviation (s) = 3.61

A.) The zscore for individual who obtained 37.8 miles per gallon :

Standardized score formula :

Z = (Score(x) - mean) / standard deviation

Z = (37.8 - 38.88) / 3.61

Z = - 1.08 / 3.61

Z = - 0.29916

Z = - 0.2992

B) The quartile ;

Lower quartile (Q1) :

1/4(n +1)th term

n = sample size = 24

1/4(24 + 1)

= 1/4(25) = 6.25th term

(6th + 7th) =(36.2 + 37.3) = 73.5/2 = 36.75

Upper quartile (Q3) :

3/4(24 +1) = 3/4(25) = 18.75th term

(18th + 19th) = (40.6 + 41.4) = 82/2 = 41

Median (Q2) :

1/2(24 +1) = 1/2(25) = 12.50th term

(12th + 13th) = (38.4 + 38.5) = 76.9/2 = 38.45

C.) interquartile range :

Q3 - Q1 = (41 - 36.75) = 4.25

D.) OUTLIER

LOWER : Q1 - 1.5(IQR) = 36.75 - 1.5(4.25) = 30.375 ; values less than 30.375

UPPER : Q3 + 1.5(IQR) = 41 + 1.5(4.25) = 47.375 ; values greater than. 47.375

probably the last option

step-by-step explanation:

c) the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"

step-by-step explanation:

town a, median = q2 = 30

town b, median - q2 = 25

so the median for town a 30" is greater than the median for town b 25"
