STA 301 Solution Assignment 2 Spring 2010
Question 2: (Marks: 4+8=12)
a) Show that the range is greatly affected by the extreme values; interpret the result.
996 999 9 997 995 1000 1014 1002 1001
Solution
range = greatest value-smallest value
=1014 - 9
= 1005
if we calculate without the vaule "9" then
range = 1014 - 995
= 19
interpretation
there is a big difference between the 19 and 1005
so its proved that range is affected by extreme values.
