High School

You're setting up a surf shop on Kekaha Beach on Kauai as a launch for an adventure shop. This beach, next to the Napali Coast, is a very cool location. You took a sample of wave heights across days in the summer, and that sample is in the file "kekahu" on Canvas.

Download "Kekahu" to your computer, then upload it to StatKey for descriptive statistics for one quantitative variable.

What are the mean, standard deviation, and the median wave heights?

Answer :

Final answer:

The answer involves calculating the mean, median, and standard deviation of a set of wave heights using statistical software, but specific values cannot be provided without the actual data set.

Explanation:

The question is asking for the mean, standard deviation, and median of wave heights based on the data collected from Kekahu Beach on Kauai, which can be analyzed using software such as Statkey or other statistical tools. Unfortunately, the actual data set is not provided, but to calculate these statistics generally you would:

  • Download and import your data into the statistical software.
  • Use the software to calculate the mean, which is the average wave height.
  • Calculate the standard deviation, which measures the amount of variation or dispersion of the wave heights.
  • Determine the median, which is the middle value that separates the higher half from the lower half of the data set.

Without the actual data, it is not possible to provide specific values for these statistics. If you have the data set, follow these steps to obtain the mean, standard deviation, and median.

You can typically find these functions in the descriptive statistics menu or section of the statistical software.
