    This document provides a tutorial on calculating measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and variation (variance, standard deviation) from data sets. It includes 7 practice problems: 1) calculating various statistics from 5 data sets, 2) finding mean, mode, median from frequency data, 3) identifying missing values, 4) constructing a histogram and calculating statistics, 5) drawing a cumulative frequency curve and estimating quartiles, 6) comparing variability between 2 classes, 7) finding a range containing 95% of values using Chebyshev's Theorem.

    TUTORIAL 3 of CHAPTER 3

    Targets of Tutorial 3:
    By the end of this tutorial, students should able:
    i. To calculate the central tendency measurements, i.e. Mean, Median, and Mode.
    ii. To calculate the variation measurement, i.e. Variance, and Standard Deviation.
    iii. To apply Chebyshevs Theorem and Empirical Rule correctly.

    6) The average score on an English final examination was 85, with standard deviation of 5; the
    average score on a History final examination was 110, with a standard deviation of 8. Which
    class was more variable?

    7) The average delivery charge for a refrigerator is RM 32. The standard deviation is RM 3.
    Find the range of delivery charges that will contain 95% of the data values. Assume that the
    distribution is normal.

    8) Using Chebyshevs Theorem, solve the following problems for a distribution with a mean
    of 80 and standard deviation of 10.
