BFC 34303 Civil Engineering Statistics SEMESTER I 2018/2019 Tutorial 1

1) The document provides examples and problems related to statistics for a civil engineering course. It includes calculating averages, finding measures of central tendency, constructing diagrams to represent data distributions, identifying outliers, and determining percentiles and quartiles. 2) Some examples require calculating the lowest mark needed to achieve a grade based on average scores, finding the median, quartiles, and percentiles of data sets, and determining the variance and standard deviation of sets to analyze their dispersion. 3) Other problems involve creating stem-and-leaf diagrams and box-and-whisker plots from data and using them to interpret distributions and identify outliers, and calculating frequency, standard deviation, interquartile range, and percentiles from class data

SEMESTER I 2018/2019

Tutorial 1

1. To obtain grade A, Saleha must achieve an average of at least 75 marks in four tests. If her
average mark for the first three tests is 70, calculate the lowest mark she must get in her fourth
test in order to obtain grade A.

2. Find the median, first quartile, third quartile and 40th percentile for the following sets of data:

a) 21, 24, 17, 28, 36, 20, 32


b) 3.5, 2.7, 5.4, 8.6, 4.3, 6.2, 9.9, 7.6

3. Calculate the variance and standard deviation for the following sets of data. Comment on the
dispersion of data.

a) 16, 10, 9, 2, 5, 2, 7
b) 10, 32, 8, 12, 14, 36, 20, 8, 40, 4, 32, 1

4. Marks of a recent Mathematics test are as given below:

73, 42, 67, 78, 99, 84, 91, 82, 86, 94

Based on the marks given:

a) Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram.


b) Interpret the distribution.

5. For the data given below:

40, 32, 61, 52, 65, 68, 41, 61, 70, 66, 57, 55, 45, 51, 62, 69, 31, 50, 72, 66, 41, 54, 65, 79, 66

a) Display the data in a stem-and-leaf diagram.


b) Find the first, second and third quartiles
c) Determine if there are any outliers.
d) Construct a box-and-whisker plot for the data.

6. From the stem-and-leaf diagram below, construct a box-and-whiskers plot and determine if there
are any outliers.

Stem Leaf
5 1 9
6 2 3 3 4 4 4 4 4 5
6 8 8 8 9 9 9
7 0 2 2 3 6 7

Key: 5 | 9 means 59°F


7. Find the measures of central tendency of frequency and standard deviation of distribution given
below:

Class Frequency
15 - 19 1
20 - 24 4
25 - 29 22
30 - 34 35
35 - 39 20
