The balance is a interval, numerical and continuous variable. The ATM is a ratio, numerical, discrete variable. Services is a ratio, numerical, discrete variable. Debit, interest and city are a categorical, nominal variable. As the graph, shows below, the balance of the typical customer, otherwise known as the mean is equal to 1499.87. 12 customers have more than $2,000 in their account. This number is relatively high because the account balances tend to cluster between $1,000 and $2,250. The standard deviation of the checking account balances 596905 and the range is 2525. The first quartile shows that 25 percent of the data are lower 1122.50 and the third quartile shows that 75 percent of the data are lower 1935.50. The standard deviation is the positive square root of the variance. It is a measure of variability used in statistics. It shows how much variation exists from the average. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data points are spread out over a large range of values.

For the checking balances the mean is 1499.87 while the median is 1604.50. The highest mean and median is in Atlanta, followed by Erie, then Louisville and finally Cincinnati. Atlanta has a high mean and median compared to the other cities who have means and medians that are relatively close in value. All four cities, have different numbers of accounts so it is hard to compare them. The median of a data is the middle number when the set is sorted in numerical order and the mean is the average value of a data. It is reasonable that the distribution of checking account balances approximates a normal distribution because the sample size is bigger than 30. The mean is 1499.87. The actual distribution is a sample distribution with actual data while the theoretical is just an assumption. As the graph below shows, both are relatively

    The mean (or sum of data entries divided by number of entries) of 2270, is only very slightly larger than the median (the data at the middle of the sample), and the mode (the data entry that occurs with the greatest frequency) which are both the same at 2207. This represents a very slight affect by the outliers at the high and low ends of the data sample, indicating that the mean presents the most accurate description of the data set. (Larson & Farber, 2011. pgs. 66, 67, 68). [See Exhibit A].…

    The data for credit balance shows that it has a normal distribution with no skew. The Mean (3970), Median (4090), and Mode (3890) are all within very close proximity and the Mean is at the peak of the chart. All other data points fall nearly equal on either side of the Mean. The standard deviation is fairly high at 931.9.…

    Explaining the make up a data description one must calculate the mean, median and standard deviation. To determine the mean, also known as the arithmetic average, is found by adding the value of the data and diving by the total numbers of values. In this case of a Bottle company study with thirty different bottles. The mean is 15.2, which was able to be reach by calculating the value of 30 bottles that equal 457 ounces divide by 30 (457/30=15.2). The median is the halfway point in a data set. Before you can find this point, the data must be arranged in order. When the data set is ordered, it is called a data array. The median either will be a specific value in value in the data set or will fall between two values. In this case the value falls in the middle to 15.6. The Standard Deviation is the square root of the variance. The preceding computational procedure reveals several…

    To calculate the median we need to put the bottles of water in order from least to greatest. Next we need to count from least to greatest ten bottles, and then count ten bottles from greatest to least. Since there are thirty bottles of water we will two middle numbers. The two middle numbers that the data provided to us are 15.98 and 16.00. We need to calculate the mean of these two numbers by adding 15.98+ 16.00 and then dividing by two. The median of the thirty bottles of water is 15.99. This too is showing us there is less than sixteen ounces of water in our bottles.…

    In our study, we researched the effect that drinking has on a college athletes in the evaluation of their grade point average (GPA). The following variables were used: GPA, alcoholic drinks consumed on average per week, sport he/she participated in. Our sample population includes both male and female athletes at Davenport University. We chose these variables because being college athletes we were curious as to if drinking alcohol has taken an effect on an athlete’s academic performance. Davenport University has strict guidelines that requires athletes not to consume alcohol 48 hours prior to a game or practice, or if underage no alcohol tolerance. Our basketball coach is very strict up these rules and does not tolerate any kind of drinking. This led us to wonder if the alcohol drank effects a student athlete’s GPA. To conduct this survey, we randomly selected Davenport college athletes. We brought the surveys in the training room, dorm rooms, and in the cafeteria. The sample is well representative of the population because the survey was given to different sports teams and not just centered on friends.…
