Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A dataset with normally distributed heights has a mean of 65 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches. However, the dataset contains an unusually tall individual at 85 inches. Analyze how this outlier could impact the mean and standard deviation. Present your findings.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Recall how outliers affect mean and spread!

Question 2

You are working with wait times for a bus that range from 0 to 20 minutes, but a data entry was mistakenly entered as 50 minutes. Discuss the implications of using the Normal Distribution in this scenario.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about data in real-world limits.
