Thirty-seven students have three recorded scores each. The columns are:
Tugas: 57, 78, 80, 83, 76, 63, 55, 56, 81, 64, 87, 85, 83, 63, 85, 90, 56, 90, 83, 60, 58, 73, 72, 0, 86, 68, 72, 62, 84, 74, 88, 0, 88, 89, 85, 55, 77
UAS: 55, 86, 76, 78, 83, 60, 70, 77, 75, 62, 86, 80, 87, 60, 81, 86, 55, 86, 73, 56, 50, 68, 81, 0, 81, 55, 80, 77, 81, 71, 92, 0, 83, 78, 80, 60, 70
TUGAS: 73, 71, 85, 84, 81, 74, 81, 80, 88, 82, 93, 84, 86, 82, 93, 90, 81, 84, 86, 80, 66, 74, 88, 32, 77, 81, 85, 86, 92, 61, 87, 32, 94, 77, 71, 63, 82
Produce a descriptive statistical analysis of each column.
Total each column and divide by n = 37. Summing carefully:
The totals are worth re-adding: a single mis-keyed row shifts a mean by up to points here.
Find the medians. With (odd) the median is the th value of the sorted list, with no averaging needed:
Every median exceeds its mean, the signature of a left-skewed distribution — caused here by the two students scoring .
Identify the modes. Counting frequencies: Tugas is bimodal at and (three times each); UAS is bimodal at and (four times each); TUGAS has a single mode at (four times). Modes this weak — a top frequency of only three or four out of — carry little information about a nearly continuous score variable.
Compute the sample variance and standard deviation. Using with :
Report ranges and quartiles. Minimum, maximum and the Tukey quartiles :
| Column | Min | Max | Range | IQR | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tugas | 0 | 90 | 90 | 61 | 76 | 85 | 24 |
| UAS | 0 | 92 | 92 | 60 | 77 | 81 | 21 |
| TUGAS | 32 | 94 | 62 | 74 | 82 | 86 | 12 |
Interpret the spread, and flag the outliers. The two rows of are almost certainly absentees rather than genuine performance. By the IQR rule the Tugas fence is , so both zeros are outliers; the UAS fence is , likewise; and the TUGAS fence is , so both s are outliers there too. Excluding those two students would raise the Tugas mean to and cut its standard deviation sharply. The third column is genuinely the most homogeneous ( versus for the other two), and it stays so even after the outliers are removed.
