When testing water for chemical impurities, results are often reported as BDL, that is, below detection
limit. The following data set gives the measurements of the amount of lead in a series of water samples
taken from inner-city households (ppm):

b. The median lead level in the water is 8 ppm.
c. The mean lead level in the water is about 8 ppm.
d. The median lead level in the water is 7 ppm.
d. The median lead level in the water is 7 ppm.

A sample of 99 distances has a mean of 24 feet and a median of 21.5 feet. Unfortunately, it has just
been discovered that an observation that was erroneously recorded as "30" actually had a value of "35."

A student was performing an experiment that compared a new high protein food to the old food for
pigs. He found the mean weight gain for subjects consuming the new food to be 12.8 pounds with a
standard deviation of 3.5 pounds. Later, he realized that the scale was out of calibration by 1.5 pounds
(meaning that the scale weighed items 1.5 pounds more). What should be the summary measures,
mean and standard deviation, for the subjects consuming the new food?
The mean should be 11.3 and the standard deviation should remain unchanged.
When a set of data has suspect outliers, which of the following is the referred measure of central

The coefficient of variation formula
the standard deviation divided by the mean and multiplied by 100.
The summary statistics for the hourly wages of a sample of 130 system analysts are given below:
Mean = 60
Range = 20
Mode = 73
Variance = 324
Median = 74
The coefficient of variation is equal to:
(square root 324/ 60 x100)= 30%
If the variance of a data set is correctly computed with the formula using in the denominator, which of
the following is true?
