Naomi recorded all the math test grades she received.

The following numbers are her scores: 85,


50, 70, 20, 60, 65, 30, 80, 25, 35, 40, 75, 55, 35, 45.
20 25 30 35 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 85

Median: 50
 In order to find the median, the first step is to arrange the list of numbers from least to
greatest. Then find the middle number, this number will have the same amount of
numbers to the right and to the left, which will be your median.

Mean: 51.33
 To find the mean, you add all the numbers in the list and then divide the answer by the
amount of numbers there are in the problem.
 20+25+30+35+35+40+45+50+55+60+65+70+75+80+85= 770 ÷ 15 = 51.33

Mode: 35
 The mode is the number or numbers that occur the most in the list of numbers.

Q1: 35
 Quartile 1 is the middle number found in the first half of numbers before the median
number.

Q3: 70
 Quartile 2 is the middle number found on the last half after the median.

IQR: 70 – 35 = 35
 The IQR is found by subtracting Q3 – Q1.
 70 – 35 = 35

Outliers: 35 x 1.5 = 52.5


 To find the outliers you have to use the answer you got from the IQR and multiply it by
1.5.
 35 x 1.5 = 52.5

75 75-51.3 (23.7)^2 561.69
80 80-51.3 (28.7)^2 823.69
85 85-51.3 (33.7)^2 1135.69
Result:
9573.35
Variance: 9573.35÷15 = 398.22
 To find the variance, you add all the answers of the numbers that were squared, then
divide the total number by how many numbers are provided in the list.
 979.69 + 691.69 + 453.69 + 265.69 + 265.69 + 127.69 + 39.69 + 1.69 + 13.69 + 75.69 +
187.69 + 349.69 + 561.69 + 823.69 + 1135.69 = 9573.35

 9573.35 ÷ 15 = 398.22

Standard Deviation: √(398.22) = 19.95


 To find the standard deviation, you square root the answer you get from the variance.

Lower end: -17.5 (none)


 Q1 – Outliner = -17.5
 There is no lower outlier

Upper end: 70 + 52.5 = 122.5 (none)


 The upper end number will be found by adding Q3 + outliner answer
 70 + 52.5 = 122.5
 In this case, there will be no upper end number because there are no outliers above 122.5
