Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A manufacturer records daily outputs over 15 days. The outputs are [730, 760, 810, 780, 800, 890, 850, 900, 950, 900, 840, 790, 800, 750, 720]. If the assumed mean is 800, calculate the mean using the indirect method.
💡 Hint: Start by subtracting the assumed mean from each output.
Question 2
A researcher compares temperature recordings in two different cities over a month. City A has recorded temperatures of [23, 25, 24, 22, 20, 26, 28] and City B has [18, 19, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23]. If the assumed mean is 20 for both cities, find the mean temperature using the indirect method.
💡 Hint: Consider how coding simplifies tracking temperature changes.
