Statistics & Probability Assignment

This assignment from the COMSATS Institute of Information Technology involves analyzing various data sets related to statistics and probability using measures of central tendency, dispersion, frequency distributions, and other statistical techniques. The six questions ask students to analyze data on tire life, bus wait times, power outages, tire diameters, bulb lifetimes, and road accidents to calculate values like mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, interquartile range, and detect outliers. The goal is to evaluate and comment on the quality and behavior of the different data sets.

7 10 5 14 15 10 9 6 7 15

(a) Construct a cumulative and relative frequency distribution.


(b) Find the median and mode for the life span of tires.
(c) Also construct the histogram and comment on the data behavior.

Q. No. 2: The following are the numbers of minutes that a person had to wait for a bus to work
on 20 working days:

2 11 8 10 1 13 9 5 9 2
10 3 8 6 17 2 10 15 14 5

(a) Find the mean, median and mode of the data and comment on the data behavior using
measure of central tendency.
(b) Find the highest possible measure of dispersion of the data.
(c) Make the frequency distribution using any suitable interval.
Q.No. 3: The lengths of the power failure, in minutes, are recorded in the following table.

83 55 28 121 120 13 22 124 112
70 68 74 89 103 24 21 112 21

(a) Find the sample mean and sample median of power-failure times.
(b) Find the standard deviation of the power failure times and report the results.

Q. No. 4: A tire manufacturer wants to determine the inner diameter of a certain grade of tire.
Ideally the diameter would be 570 mm. The data are as follows:

572 572 573 568 569 575 565 570

(a) Find the sample mean and median.


(b) Find the sample variance, standard deviation, and range.
(c) Using the calculated statistics in parts (a) and (b), what do you determine about the
quality of the tires?

Q. No. 5: The lifetimes of electric bulbs for Company A and Company B are recorded in hours
as follows:

A 72 68 53 68 76 71 69 68 70
B 72 76 68 65 68 72 70 79 78

two year period:
Number 0-4 5-9 10-14 15-19 20-24 25-29 30-34 35-39 40-44
of
Accidents
Frequency 5 12 32 27 11 9 4 3 1
