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 |
