The minimum injection pressure (psi) for injection molding specimens of high amylose corn was determined for eight different specimens (higher pressure corresponds to greater processing difficulty), resulting in the following observations. 14.9 12.6 17.7 14.2 12.5 11.0 9.3 8.1
(a) Determine the values of the sample mean x, sample median , and 12.5% trimmed mean xtr. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) x = psi = psi xtr = psi Compare these values. The mean is much larger than the median and trimmed mean, indicating negative skewness. All three measures of center are similar, indicating little skewness to the data set. The median is much larger than the mean and trimmed mean, indicating positive skewness. The median is much larger than the mean and trimmed mean, indicating negative skewness. The mean is much larger than the median and trimmed mean, indicating positive skewness.
(b) By how much could the smallest sample observation, currently
