If possible, print your results. 1. Find the sample mean of the data. 2. Find the sample standard deviation of the data. 3. Find the five-number summary of the data. 4. Make a frequency distribution for the data. Use a class width of 15. 5. Draw a histogram for the data. Does the distribution appear to be bell-shaped? 6. What percent of the distribution lies within one standard deviation of the mean? Within two standard deviations of the mean? Within three standard deviations of the mean? 7. Does it make sense to estimate the answers for Exercise 6 using the Empirical Rule? If so, compare the estimates to your answers. If not, explain why. 8. Does it make sense to estimate the answers for Exercise 6 using Chebychev’s Theorem? If so, compare the estimates to your answers. If not, explain why. 9. Use the frequency distribution in Exercise 4 to estimate the sample mean and sample standard deviation of the data. Do the formulas for grouped data give results that are as accurate as the individual entry formulas? Explain. 10. Writing Do you think the mean or the median better represents the data? Explain your reasoning. EXERCISES The figures above show parking infractions in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, for December 2020 by time of day and by day.
