(Complete as many problems as possible before Lecture – 3, preferably in A4 printout)


Part 1:
Healthcare issues are receiving much attention. A sociologist recently conducted a survey of
citizens over 60 years of age whose net worth is too high to qualify for Government medical
assistance and have no private health insurance. The ages of 25 uninsured senior citizens were
as follows:
60 61 62 63 64 65 66 68 68 69 70 73
73 74 75 76 76 81 81 82 86 87 89 90
92
Table 1

For Questions 1 to 11, refer Table 1:

1. Calculate the arithmetic mean age of the uninsured senior citizens to the nearest
hundredth of a year.

2. Identify the median age of the uninsured senior citizens.

3. Identify the first quartile of the ages of the uninsured citizens.

4. Identify the third quartile of the ages of the uninsured citizens.

5. Calculate the interquartile range of the ages of the uninsured citizens.

6. Identify which of the following statements are correct.


a. One fourth of the senior citizens’ samples are below 65.5 years of age.
b. The middle 50 % of the senior citizens’ sample is below 65.5 and 73 years of age.
c. The average age of senior citizens’ sample is 73.5 years of age.
d. All of the above are correct.

7. Identify which of the following is the correct statement.


a. One fourth of the senior citizens’ sample are below 64 years of age.
b. The middle 50 % of the senior citizens’ sample is between 65.5 and 73 years of age.
c. 25 % of the senior citizens sampled are older than 81.5 years of age.
d. All of the above are correct.

8. What type of shape does the distribution of the sample appear to have?

9. Calculate the variance of the ages of the uninsured senior citizens correct to the nearest
hundredth of a year squared.

Control Frequency Midpoint 𝑓𝑖 𝑥𝑖 (𝑥𝑖 − 𝑥̅ ) (𝑥𝑖 − 𝑥̅ )2 𝑓𝑖 (𝑥𝑖 − 𝑥̅ )2
Interval (𝑓𝑖 ) (𝑥𝑖 )
(C.I)
