Question 19

For a sample of 25 cars, the CO emission x x\,x g/km of each car is recorded. It is given that

∑x=6.25\sum x = 6.25∑x=6.25 and ∑x2=1.6525\sum x^2 = 1.6525∑x2=1.6525

For this question, a value is defined to be an outlier if it is more than two standard deviations from the mean.

a.

Show that the mean is 0.25 g/km and the standard deviation is 0.06 g/km.

b.

Find, using set notation, the set of CO emissions that would be classed as outliers for this sample.
