Problem 1:

Consider the following set of sample data:

78   121   143   88   110   107   62   122   130   95   78   139   89   125

a. Compute the mean and standard deviation for these sample data.

b. Calculate the coefficient of variation for these sample data and interpret its meaning

c. Using Tchebysheff's Theorem, determine the range of values that should include at least 89% of the data. Count the number of data values that fall into this range and comment on whether your interval range was conservative or not.
