Question

You previously found the mean of this data set. Use that in answering the question. 63, 89, 92, 73, 79, 72, 34, 36, 94, 21, 25, 93, 22, 90, 79 Calculate the sum of squares of the data set.

Answer 1

Sum of squares of differences = 11239.74

Explanation:

We are given the following data set:

63, 89, 92, 73, 79, 72, 34, 36, 94, 21, 25, 93, 22, 90, 79

We have to calculate the sum of square of the data set.

Formula:

`\text{Sum of square of differences} = \sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2`

where
`x_i` are data points,
`\bar{x}` is the mean and n is the number of observations.

`Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}`

`Mean =\displaystyle(962)/(15) = 64.13`

Sum of squares of differences =

1.284444444 + 618.3511113 + 776.5511113 + 78.61777778 + 221.0177779 + 61.88444445 + 908.0177776 + 791.4844443 + 892.017778 + 1860.484444 + 1531.417778 + 833.2844446 + 1775.217777 + 669.0844446 + 221.0177779

= 11239.74
