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

    With a mean you would be looking to find the average value, which is simply the sum of all the values divided by the total number of values. For example you have 12 test scores that the total sum is 998, you would divide that by your total number of value (12) you get 83.17 average test scores this is your mean. The median, or middle value, is the center of an ordered list of numbers. So you would have half of the values on one side and half on the other. The median is the middle value. When using the mean as a measurement, extreme values can have a major effect on the mean outcome, in which case researchers are likely to median…

    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.…

    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…
