1. What is an outlier? a. An outlier is a data object that seems to be created from a different structure, as it significantly deviates from the other data objects. The median of a data set is not significantly impacted by outliers, while the mean is. 2. How do outliers differ from noise? a. Noise is a random error or variance in a data set, while an outlier is one or two points that deviate from normality. Noise should be removed from the data set during the data cleaning and preparation phase and
Step 2. Draw the x and y axes. Label the x and y axes with the midpoint of each class and frequencies, respectively. Step 3. Plot the points and connect adjacent points with line segments. Draw a line back to the x axis at the beginning and end of the graph. Be sure to use the same distance that the previous and next midpoints would be located. You may also use Microsoft excel in constructing a frequency polygon. Here are the steps: 1. Input the midpoints in column A, and the frequencies
1.0 Introduction OB10 is a Business-to-business (B2B) electronic invoice delivery service provider based in the UK. Its operation in Malaysia started in July 2006. Despite the substantial growth in annual revenue, the high labour cost has caused a consecutive two-year operating loss of the company. Hence, there is an urgent need for OB10 to reduce its operating cost and to strengthen its operation in Malaysia. 2.0 Issue prioritisation The main issues to be considered during the course of cost reduction
carrying out a horizontal analysis on the data. The ability of a company to pay short-term obligations is determined by the Current Ratio. In 2012, Company G’s current ratio decreased from 1.86 to 1.77; a rating below the 2nd quartile of 2.1 and above the 3rd quartile of 1.4. This ratio demonstrates weakness, stating that the Company’s ability to pay current debt is below the standard Home Centers Retail Benchmark of 1.8, (ROI, 2015); which indicates that the company would struggle to pay its
puts it in the upper quartile of 1.29 for other industries. The company being in the upper quartile is a great thing. That means for every dollar in assets we generated $1.30 in sales. The higher the better because they are making more than
noticeable bends in the graph. This will determine the amount of local extremas that you have. For instance my polynomial f(x)=3x⁴=8x³=6x²=3x-2 had at most 2 local extremas, because I only saw one slight bend in the second quartile of the graph and then another in the first quartile, this one being more noticeable. Another route to take in order to find the local extrema for a more accurate answer is to use the calculator. The way to do this is put your polynomial in y=, double check to make sure it
Inequality of wealth and income is an important and controversial microeconomic issue. The issue has become prevalent in the recent years because the prominence of the issue has gradually increased over time. Social media, urban life and proximity to one another can now see how much other people make or have. According to Wolf 2010 the bottom, 40% of the population has 0.3% of wealth while the top 20% possess 84% of the wealth. Economic efficiency can be attained by determining the desirable level
households, I order households in the data set from worst to best based on expenditure per capita. Then, I estimate the con-sumption quartile in which a household lies (see table 5-6). Table 5-6: Quartile of expenditure per capita/month in rupiahs ( Author’s Calculation using Susenas Core 2013) Table 5-6 describes the range of expenditure per capita for different quartiles. There are 284,603 observations in the household data and those who are eligi-ble for BSM program are those with a maximum expenditure

1. Introduction Economic inequality has shaped the structure of our society. This designates the disparities in the wealth distribution among individuals. More than a monetary issue, this economic inequality brings along a number side effects. This paper focuses on the unequal chance for children from diverse economic backgrounds to gain access to higher education, which has been a growing social concern. The purpose of this paper is to examine the link between income inequality and the unequal
mean and the standard deviations of the weights. Process Add up all 80 numbers previously listed above and this leads to the final total weight= 6983 Average the values to find the mean weight. 6983/80 ≈ 87.2875 Next, find the upper quartile(UQ) and lower quartile(LQ) to find the variance LQ= 64 g UQ= 110 g IQR (variance)=46 g The Standard Deviation √46 ≈ 6.78 g In general, there should be about roughly ⅔ (68.3%) of the mass in one standard deviation of the mean, roughly 95.4% between two standard
In Thomas Paine’s book, Rights of Man, he depicts America as being brought together by diversity. Paine claims: “the poor are not oppressed, the rich are not privileged…Their taxes are few…there is nothing to engender riots and tumults.” America is considered a “melting pot,” due to the vast amount of diversity . Since 1492, people from all over the world come to the land of opportunity. However, there are many cases that indicate that present day America is not brought together by diversity, specifically
first quartile (Q1). Then I find the middle location of all data in the upper half of the data rightward of the median (2.8) to get the third quartile (Q3). Then the difference between Q3 and Q1 is the interquartile range, the below-depicted image will demonstrate my approach ………………………………………………… Task 4 What is the formula for calculating the interquartile range? Solution to Task 4 The formula is IQR = Q3 – Q1 A short description of solution 4: According to Yakir(2011), “The inter-quartile range
Practicum A and B Reflection Reflection and innovation are essential, recursive practices that have long been recognized as important and valuable cognitive processes for developing quality teachers (Gay & Kirkland, 2003; Loughran, 2002; Schon, 1983). These two aspects of instructional practice, reflection and innovation, are based on our individual assessment of our performance. If we, as educators, are to use reflection and innovation to guide our practice and improvement, it only makes sense
“Just nine percent of students from the lowest income quartile graduate with a bachelor 's degree by age twenty four, compared to seventy seven percent for the top income quartile” (Feldman n.pg.). College is becoming unrealistic for several students across America because of the outrageous prices that continue to increase. While some people believe college is a reasonable price due to the fact that it is a necessary piece of qualifying for higher paying jobs, it is unfair. As a matter of fact, wealthy
Only 6 percent of students transferred to schools that had test scores in the top quartile of the district, while 40 percent of displaced students enrolled in schools on academic probation and 42 percent enrolled in receiving schools with scores in the lowest quartile of the distribution of scores in the system” (www.aft.org). In conclusion, today i have talked about a school that has low test scores, reasons for schools
Freeman says, “Students need strong counseling to identify the best possible option” (logos) (Hrabowski, pp. 261). Lack of counseling is one reason that fewer than 10 percent Americans from the lowest quartile have earned a college degree by age 24, compared to 80 percent of those in the top quartile. In Maryland, Baltimore many of Hrabowski colleagues spend countless hours advising prospective students where to, while others are formulating a list of places that are not so best fitted. That type
What is Diversity? Diversity means understanding that each individual is unique and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. It is the exploration of these differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. It is about understanding each other and moving beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating
However, in the article, “Why College Isn’t for Everyone”, Matthews describes a diagram taken from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Based on the diagram, the lower quartile demonstrates that students with a four year degree seemingly do not make more money than a high school graduate. While this may sound as if people should not attend college, the root cause of this problem is that individuals are not putting enough
