Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A researcher collects temperature data over a week: 20°C, 22°C, 25°C, 30°C, and 18°C. Calculate the mean and range, and discuss any methodological biases that could arise.
💡 Hint: Consider how data collection time affects average temperature calculations.
Given a sampled set of results: 10, 15, 20, 100, how would the mean differ from the median? Calculate both, and discuss the impact of an outlier.
💡 Hint: Think about how each measure of central tendency treats extreme values differently.
