Assignment I

1. A person purchased cement from 4 stores at different rates. The question asks to calculate the average amount of cement purchased per birr spent. 2. The question provides a partial frequency distribution and asks to find missing frequencies, then calculates measures of central tendency and dispersion. 3. The question states the original and corrected arithmetic means when two values were omitted/changed in a data set of 50 observations.
