Lacre Bsp1b (Problem 2)

The document provides data on patient ages from a local health center over the past year. It includes a table with age ranges and their frequencies. It then asks to calculate several statistical measures: 1. The mean age is 48.5 years. 2. The median age is 44.5 years. 3. The modal age range is 45-49 years, with a frequency of 38. 4. The range of ages is from 34.5 to 59.5 years, for a total range of 25 years. 5. The standard deviation is 5.20 years.

Problem 2:
The ages of the patients of a local health center for the past year are given by
the following table:

AGE FREQUENCY
35 - 39 5
40 - 44 15
45 - 49 38
50 - 54 29
55 - 59 13

A. Find the MEAN age

AGE FREQUENCY X FX
35 - 39 5 37 185
40 - 44 15 42 630
45 - 49 38 47 1786
50 - 54 29 52 1508
55 - 59 13 57 741
∑ ∑

= 48. 5
B. Find the MEDIAN age

i=5 = 100
lb = 45- 0.5 ∑
= 44. 5

Median = [ ]i

= [ ]5

= [ ]5

C. Find the MODAL age

AGE FREQUENCY
35 - 39 5
40 - 44 15 D1
45 - 49 38
mc 50 - 54 29 D2
55 - 59 13

lbmo = 45 – 0.5 = 44.5


D1 = 38 – 15 = 23
D2 = 38 – 29 = 9
i =5

Mode = [ ]i

= [ ]5

= [ ]5

=
D. Find the RANGE of the ages

AGE FREQUENCY
35 - 39 5
40 - 44 15
LB 35 – 0.5 = 34.5 45 - 49 38
50 - 54 29
55 - 59 13

UB
59 + 0.5 = 59.5

Range = UBHC – LBLC


= 59.5 – 34. 5
= 25

E. Find the STANDARD DEVIATION

AGE FREQUENCY X FX X- (X - )2 F(X - )2


35 - 39 5 37 185 48.5 -11.5 132.25 661.25
