Working with Data
1. This question has 3 part(s).
1.1. Two geologists are measuring the size of rocks found on a beach in front of a cliff. The geologists record the greatest length, in millimetres, of each rock they find at distances of 5 and 25 from the base of the cliff. They randomly choose 20 rocks at each distance. Their results are summarised in the table below.
Distance from cliff base | 5 m | 25 m |
Number of rocks, | 20 | 20 |
3885 | 2220 | |
1 124 175 | 534 000 |
Using the formulae and σ = , find the mean and standard deviation for the size of rocks at both 5 and 25 from the base of the cliff.
1.2. Compare the location (mean) and spread (standard deviation) of the size of rocks at 5 and 25 from the base of the cliff.
1.3. In this instance, an outlier is determined to be any data value that lies outside one standard deviation of the mean (±σ).
(i) Find the smallest rock that is not an outlier at 5 from the base of the cliff.
(ii) Briefly explain why there cannot be any small rock outliers at 25 from the base of the cliff.
