A study conducted by the Toledo police at the main intersection of the city between 7 to 9 AM revealed the number of vehicles proceeded through the intersection after light changed. Here is the information of 8 days during the study period:

Number of vehicle: 6, 12, 7, 8, 4, 5, 12, 10.

Find the mean, median, mode and standard deviation for the SAMPLE.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mean = 8

Mode = 12

Median = 7.5

Standard deviation = 3.07

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following sample in the question:

6, 12, 7, 8, 4, 5, 12, 10

Formula:

[tex]\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}[/tex]  

where [tex]x_i[/tex] are data points, [tex]\bar{x}[/tex] is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

[tex]Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}[/tex]

[tex]Mean =\displaystyle\frac{64}{8} = 8[/tex]

Sum of squares of differences = 66

[tex]S.D = \sqrt{\dfrac{66}{7}} = 3.07[/tex]

Mode is the most frequent observation of data.

Mode = 12

Since it repeats two times.

[tex]Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}[/tex]

Sorted data:  4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 12

[tex]\text{Median} = \dfrac{4^{th}+5^{th}}{2} = \dfrac{7+8}{2}=7.5[/tex]
