Assessment: Numerical Summaries :Understanding and Visualizing Data with Python (Statistics with Python Specialization) Answers 2025

1️⃣ Question 1

Based on the histogram, approximately what percent entered at least 30 competitions?

  • ❌ 40

  • ❌ 20

  • ❌ 10

  • 80

Explanation:
Counts for bins ≥30: 30–31 (10) + 32–33 (8) + 34–35 (10) + 36–37 (9) + 38–39 (3) = 40 out of 50 total → 40/50 = 80%.


2️⃣ Question 2

Which will be larger — the mean or the median time per flight?

  • The mean

  • ❌ The median

  • ❌ They are the same

  • ❌ Can’t tell

Explanation:
Computed from the frequencies, the median falls at 9 seconds while the mean ≈ 9.12 seconds (slightly larger). The small right-tail/greater weights above the median pull the mean up a bit.


3️⃣ Question 3

Which day has the largest third quartile (Q3)?

  • ❌ Monday

  • ❌ Wednesday

  • ❌ Friday

  • Sunday

  • ❌ Can’t tell

Explanation:
Q3 values from the table: Mon=60, Wed=250, Fri=380, Sun=680 → largest is 680 (Sunday).


4️⃣ Question 4

Which day has the largest IQR (most spread in the middle 50%)?

  • ❌ Monday

  • ❌ Wednesday

  • Friday

  • ❌ Sunday

  • ❌ Can’t tell

Explanation:
IQR = Q3 − Q1: Mon=60−40=20, Wed=250−200=50, Fri=380−150=230, Sun=680−520=160 → Friday has the largest IQR.


5️⃣ Question 5

Yanis climbed 1375 flights; what proportion of competitors climbed more than Yanis?

  • ❌ 50%

  • ❌ 30%

  • ❌ 25%

  • ❌ 10%

  • 0%

Explanation:
Boxplot upper whisker = 1350, which is the maximum (no outliers beyond). Yanis’s 1375 > 1350, so no competitors climbed more → 0%.


🧾 Summary Table

Q Correct Answer Key Concept
1 80 Counting histogram bins → percent ≥ threshold
2 The mean Mean slightly > median for slight right skew
3 Sunday Largest Q3 (upper quartile) value
4 Friday Largest IQR (Q3 − Q1) → greatest middle-50% spread
5 0% Value exceeds max (upper whisker) → none above
