Part I: Basic Statistics
A new high school took the entrance test this year, Mortlocks High School. Thirty seniors from Mortlocks High School took the entrance test. The inaugural graduation class included Aaron, Airon, Akim, Barbara, Benony, Cabella, Eddy, Garry, Isabella, Jaymar, Jayson, Jerbet, Joncy, Julius, Kurata, Lorlin, Maptin, Mayson, Menchor, Merista, Molly, Phanchy, Richy, Robsan, Setirick, Smalreen, Swancy, Tricia, Valerio, Wilson.
The essay section is marked out of fifty points. A zero means the essay was off-topic, not in English, or otherwise severely flawed. This year the typical successful associate's admission candidate scored a 34 or higher on the essay. The national mean across all schools and campuses in all states on the essay this year was 24.14.
For the data in the table, calculate the following statistics.
- _________ What level of measurement is the data?
- _________ Determine the sample size n.
- _________ Determine the minimum.
- _________ Determine the maximum.
- _________ Calculate the range.
