Estimating Mean Running Time and Interquartile Range of Family Movies

Convert to note

Calculating Mid-Interval Values

  • The mid-interval value for the class 70 to less than 80 is calculated as (70 + 80) / 2 = 75.
  • Other mid-interval values are similarly calculated:
    • 80 to <85: (80 + 85) / 2 = 82.5
    • 85 to <90: 87.5
    • 90 to <95: 92.5
    • 95 to <105: 100

Estimating the Mean Running Time

  • Use the mid-interval values as representative values for each class.
  • Multiply each mid-interval value by its corresponding frequency:
    • 75 * 11 = 825
    • 82.5 * 51 = 4207.5
    • 87.5 * 68 = 5950
    • 92.5 * 47 = 4347.5
    • 100 * 23 = 2300
  • Sum of frequencies = 200
  • Sum of products = 825 + 4207.5 + 5950 + 4347.5 + 2300 = 17630
  • Estimated mean (x̄) = Total sum of products / Total frequency = 17630 / 200 = 88.15 minutes

Using a Calculator for One-Variable Statistics

  • Input mid-interval values as list X.
  • Input frequencies as list FR.
  • Use one-variable statistics function with frequency list to compute mean.
  • Result confirms mean running time is approximately 88.15 minutes.

Estimating the Interquartile Range (IQR) from Cumulative Frequency Graph

  • Total movies = 200
  • Q3 (75th percentile) position = 0.75 * 200 = 150th value
  • Q1 (25th percentile) position = 0.25 * 200 = 50th value

Finding Q3

  • From the graph, Q3 corresponds to a running time of approximately 91.5 minutes.
  • This is calculated by interpolating between 90 and 95 minutes using small units of 0.5 minutes.

Finding Q1

  • Q1 corresponds to approximately 84 minutes from the graph.

Calculating IQR

  • IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 91.5 - 84 = 7.5 minutes

Determining if "Starfield" is an Outlier

  • Starfield's running time = 100 minutes
  • Calculate upper outlier boundary:
    • Upper boundary = Q3 + 1.5 * IQR = 91.5 + 1.5 * 7.5 = 102.75 minutes
  • Since 100 < 102.75, Starfield is not an outlier.

Summary

  • The estimated mean running time of the 200 family movies is 88.15 minutes.
  • The interquartile range is 7.5 minutes, indicating the middle 50% of running times fall within this range.
  • Starfield's running time of 100 minutes is within the expected range and not considered an outlier.
