Q1 The strength of motorcycle helmet is thought to be a function of the percentage of fiber


A. The data below show the strength of motorcycle helmet (in MPa) and the percentage
of fiber A.
(a) Plot a graph by using Microsoft Excel and describe the relationship between
percentage of fiber A and the motorcycle helmet strength. Submit your answer
in e-learning. Due date is on 2 March 2020 (2 PM).

No Percentage of Fiber Strength of Helmet

2 1.8 1.27
3 2.2 1.33
4 2.7 1.405
5 2.7 1.405
6 2.8 1.42
7 3.2 1.48
8 3.3 1.495
9 3.6 1.54
10 3.8 1.57
11 3.9 1.585
12 4.2 1.63
13 4.4 1.66
14 4.6 1.69
15 4.8 1.72
16 5.1 1.73
17 5.2 1.72
18 5.3 1.73
19 5.5 1.74
20 5.8 1.73
21 6.1 1.74
22 6.2 1.73

(b) Calculate manually mean, mode and median for percentage of fibre and strength
of helmet
Q2. The following scores represent the final examination grades for an elementary statistic
course:
23 60 79 32 57 74 52 70 82
36 80 77 81 95 41 65 92 85
55 75 52 10 64 75 78 25 80
98 81 67 41 71 83 54 64 72
88 62 74 43 60 78 89 76 84
48 84 90 15 79 34 67 17 82
69 74 63 80 85 61

(a) Construct a stem-and-leaf plot for the examination grades which the stem are 1, 2,
3…9.
(b) Construct a histogram, frequency polygon and cumulative frequency graph by
using Microsoft excel. Use the first class interval 10-19. Submit your answer in
e-learning. Due date is on 2 March 2020 (2 PM).
(c) Compute manually the sample mean, sample median and sample standard
deviation.

Q3. Two materials, A and B are used for manufacturing motorcycle helmet. It is important
that the material be resistant to the penetration process. Six specimens of each material
were tested. Table 1 shows the measurement of the penetration strength of the specimens
in psi.

(a) Calculate the first quartile, third quartile and median for the two specimens’
group.
(b) Make a box-plot for each material and interpret the results (use given graph
paper)
