    The document provides sample exercises and answers for calculating range and variance from data sets. It includes 3 examples: 1) heights of 8 babies, 2) covered bridge counts in 5 states, and 3) temperatures in 8 states. For each example, it lists the data, calculates the mean, finds the differences from the mean, sums the squared differences, and divides by the degrees of freedom to determine variance. It consistently demonstrates how to compute range and variance step-by-step.

    Sample Exercises/Assignment Answer Key

    1. The management team of a hospital named Sagar Healthcare recorded that 8 babies
    had been born in the first week of March 2019. The doctor wanted to evaluate the
    health of the babies as well as the variance of the heights. The heights of these babies
    are as follows: 48 cm, 47 cm, 50 cm, 53 cm, 50 cm, 52 cm, 51 cm, 60 cm.
    Calculate the range and variance of the heights of these 8 babies.

    Answer:
    Range: R = Hv – Lv
    R = 60 – 47
    R = 13

    Variance:

    σ2 = ∑(x – x)2
    N

    x = 48 cm + 47 cm + 50 cm + 53 cm + 50 cm + 52 cm + 51 cm + 60 cm = 411 = 51.375

    Score – Mean Difference from Mean Difference Squared

    48 – 51.375 -3.375 11.390625

    51 – 51.375 -0.375 0.140625
    60 – 51.375 8.625 74.390625
    Total: 111.875

    111.875 = 13.98

    2. Find the range variance and standard deviation for the five states with the most
    covered bridges:
    Oregon: 106 Vermont: 121 Indiana: 152

    Ohio: 234 Pennsylvania: 347

    Answer:
    Range: R = Hv – Lv
    R = 347 – 106
    R = 241
    Variance:

    S2 = ∑(X – X)2
    n–1
    X = 106 + 121 + 152 + 234 + 347 = 960 = 192

    Score - Mean Difference from Mean Difference Squared

    106 – 192 -86 7396


    121 – 192 -71 5041
    152 – 192 -40 1600
    234 – 192 42 1764
    347 - 192 155 24025
    Total: 39826

    39826 = 39826 = 9956.5

    3. Find the range and variance of the highest temperatures recorded in eight specific
    states: 112, 100, 127, 120, 134, 118, 105, and 110.

    Answer:
    Range: R = Hv – Lv
    R = 134 – 100
    R = 34

    Variance:

    S2 = ∑(X – X)2
    n–1
    X = 112 + 100 + 127 + 120 + 134 + 118 + 105 + 110 = 926 = 115.75
    8 8

    Score - Mean Difference from Mean Difference Squared

    112 – 115.75 -3.75 14.0625


    100 – 115.75 -15.75 248.0625
    127 – 115.75 11.25 126.562
    120 – 115.75 4.25 18.062
    134 – 115.75 18.25 333.062
    118 – 115.75 2.25 5.0625
    105 – 115.75 -10.75 115.562
    110 – 115.75 -5.75 33.062
    Total: 893.496

    893.496 = 893.496 = 127.6
