Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate sum of ages
Sum of ages = (53 + 43+33 + 45+46+55+37+41+55+36+45+55+50+49+47+69) = (751)
Step2: Calculate number of data - points
Number of CEOs (n = 16)
Step3: Calculate mean age
Mean age (\bar{x}=\frac{751}{16}=46.9375)
Step4: Arrange ages in ascending order
(33,36,37,41,43,45,45,46,47,49,50,53,55,55,55,69)
Step5: Calculate median age
Since (n = 16) (even), median is the average of (\frac{n}{2})th and ((\frac{n}{2}+ 1))th ordered values. (\frac{n}{2}=8) and (\frac{n}{2}+1 = 9). Median age=(\frac{46 + 47}{2}=46.5)
Step6: Calculate sum of salaries
Sum of salaries = (145+621+262+208+362+424+300+339+736+291+58+498+643+390+332+750) = (5427)
Step7: Calculate mean salary
Mean salary (\bar{y}=\frac{5427}{16}=339.1875)
Step8: Arrange salaries in ascending order
(58,145,208,262,291,300,332,339,362,390,424,498,621,643,736,750)
Step9: Calculate median salary
Since (n = 16) (even), median is the average of (\frac{n}{2})th and ((\frac{n}{2}+1))th ordered values. (\frac{n}{2}=8) and (\frac{n}{2}+1 = 9). Median salary=(\frac{339+362}{2}=350.5)
Step10: Analyze skewness of salaries
The mean ((339.1875)) is less than the median ((350.5)). So the data is skewed left.
Answer:
(a) (46.9375) (b) (46.5) (c) (339.1875) (d) (350.5) (e) Skewed left
