Univariate Statistics
1. The following table displays test scores for 25 students enrolled in Statistics.
Based on this data, solve for the questions below.
78 86 50 75 59 60 90
65 65 67 88 56 72 87
61 81 77 65 83 56 71
55 87 97 90
The scale of measurement for the above test scores is Interval for
Mean.

d. Does the distribution of the test scores meet the assumption of normality?
Use the appropriate statistic to test on the assumption.
Tests of Normality
Kolmogorov-Smirnova Shapiro-Wilk

2. Summary of data on frequency of accessing internet per week among the study
respondents is presented in Table 2. Use the data to respond to the following
questions.

3. In a study, commitment is measured on a scale between 1 to 15. Summary
distribution of respondents by the commitment scores is presented in Table 3.
Median ML = n+1

Median = 11.11
X = fm
n

c. Calculate variance and standard deviation of the commitment scores
Variance
S2 = 185609.89 - (3490.4)2

130 - 1
= 185609.89 – 12182892.16

Standard deviation
Varian = 712.37
S = S2
