1. The treatment of children with conduct disorder can be complex. The treatment can be provided in a variety
scenarios depending upon the severity of the behavior. As well as the challenge offered by the treatment are lack of
cooperation from the boy / girl and fear and distrust of adults. In order to design a comprehensive treatment plan,
the child and adolescent psychiatrist may use information from the child, family, teachers and other medical
specialists to understand the causes of disorder. To do this, a local psychiatrist considered a random sample of 20
children, noting the time required for each child to achieve a comprehensive plan of treatment revealed the
following (in hours):

4. You interviewed 25 workers who lost their jobs in staff reduction of their companies, to determine the time it took
to get a job. These data you gave them to a friend and when he returned it back he gave you just this.

5. A survey was conducted to 348 undergraduate students about how much time they spend going to school. With this
data
a. Generate the frequency distribution table
b. Graph the histogram, frequency polygon and ogive
c. Calculate all statistical measures with non grouped data.
6. A study was conducted to determine the number of acceptable parts per worker in a process. With this data you
must do a boxplot.
For the boxplot you will need the five-number summary: Minimum, lower quartile, median, upper quartile,
maximum.
Next locate in a line the minimum, the lower quartile, the median, the upper quartile and the maximum
The bottom and top of the box are always the first and third quartiles, and the band inside the box is always
the median.
Calculate the interquartilic range
, and lower and upper limits for the whiskers

The whispers ends will be drawn according to the following rules.

], the whispers will be shortened to the mnimum
If the minimum or maximum values are between [

.
Any data not included between the whiskers should be plotted as an outlier with a dot, small circle, or star.
Example of a boxplot

7. The following data represent the tons of corn produced by fields with an experimental fertilizer.
d. Generate the frequency distribution table
e. Graph the histogram, frequency polygon and ogive
f. Calculate statistical measures with grouped data (mean, variance, standard deviation, skewness and
kurtosis)

8. The normal distribution curve is very applied in different areas of statistics, so confirm whether a set of data has an
approximately normal distribution is vitally important. Many relatively complex mathematical procedures perform
this test. However there are less rigorous procedures based on descriptive statistics.
a) Histogram
This graph should have an approximate form to that of a normal distribution form. Also, the histogram must
show a bell-shaped behavior. This will show the feasibility that data behave as a normal distribution.
b) Empirical rule
States that nearly all values lie within three standard deviations of the mean in a normal distribution. About
68.27% of the values lie within one standard deviation of the mean. Similarly, about 95.45% of the values lie
within two standard deviations of the mean. Nearly all (99.73%) of the values lie within three standard
deviations of the mean.
c) Interquartile Range and standard deviation
It turns out that the interquartile range of a normal random variable is 1.34898 times its standard deviation.
That is

The following data presents measurements related to the weight (in grams) of various types of motorcycle batteries. The
data show that there are manufacturers that offer lithium batteries manufactured with weight from 173 grams for 600cc
bikes and weighing up to 2302 grams for larger displacement engines. Do the data approximates to a normal
distribution?
