Suppose that a customer is purchasing a car. He conducts an experiment in which he puts 10 gallons of gas in the car and drives it until it runs out of gas. He conducts this experiment 15 times on each car and records the number of miles driven. Car 1 Car 2
214 220
245 221
239 244
224 225
220 258
295 259

Describe each data set, that is determine the shape, center, and spread

i. Sample mean for Car 1
ii. Sample mean for Car 2

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Car 1 Car 2

214 220

245 221

239 244

224 225

220 258

295 259

Ordered data:

Car 1 : 214, 220, 224, 239, 245, 295

Sample mean = ΣX/ n ; n = sample size = 6

Sample mean = 1437 / 6 = 239.5

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/2(7) = 3.5th term

Median = (3rd + 4th) /2 = (224 + 239) /2 = 231.5

Sample standard deviation; √(Σ(x - xbar)²/n-1 ) = 29.60 (using calculator)

Car 2 : 220, 221, 225, 244, 258, 259

Sample mean = ΣX/ n ; n = sample size = 6

Sample mean = 1427 / 6 = 237.833

Median = 1/2(n+1)th term = 1/2(7) = 3.5th term

Median = (3rd + 4th) /2 = (225 + 244) /2 = 234.5

Sample standard deviation; √(Σ(x - xbar)²/n-1 ) = 18.21 (using calculator)
