Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You collect the heights of five basketball players: 180 cm, 190 cm, 185 cm, 175 cm, and 195 cm. Calculate the variance and standard deviation of their heights.

πŸ’‘ Hint: First, find the mean, then calculate squared differences and their average.

Question 2

In a statistical experiment, the weights of bats are recorded as: 2.0 kg, 2.5 kg, 2.4 kg, and 3.0 kg. If the standard deviation is computed to be 0.3 kg, discuss how this affects the consistency of bat weights.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Reflect on what standard deviation tells us about the range of weights.
