1. Statistics Problems and Review

2. Types of Statistics Descriptive Used to measure a trait or characteristic without generalizing beyond the group: used to describe Inferential Used to make generalizations or inference from the smaller sample to a larger population

9. Runner #1 Mean = 4.00 Median = 3.85 Mode = 3.90 Runner #2 Mean = 4.04 Median = 4.00 Mode = 4.00 Runner #3 Mean = 3.9 Median = 3.9 Mode = 4.0 Which runner should the coach select for the last lap? Problem #2

10. Runner #1 Mean = 4.00 Median = 3.85 Mode = 3.90 Runner #3 Mean = 3.9 Median = 3.9 Mode = 4.0 Which runner should the coach select for the last lap? Problem #2

11. (a) Mean – 1 std dev includes 34.1% of the values. Values less than 1 std dev would be 50 – 34.1 or 15.9% times 300 in our sample = 47.7 Problem #3

12. (b) Mean + or – 1 std dev includes 68.2% of the values, 68.2% of 300 is 204.6. Problem #3

13. (c) Mean outside of +2 std dev would be 2.3%, 2.3% of 300 is 7. Problem #3
