1. **Problem:** Calculate the arithmetic mean (population mean, sample mean, median) of the Education Level data.
2. **Data:** Education Level values from the dataset: $[1,2,1,1,1,1,1,1,3,1,1,1,1,1,3,2,1,2,3,2,2,1,2,2,2]$
3. **Arithmetic Mean (Population and Sample Mean):**
The formula for the mean is:
$$\text{Mean} = \frac{\sum x_i}{n}$$
where $x_i$ are the data points and $n$ is the number of data points.
4. **Calculate the sum:**
$$\sum x_i = 1+2+1+1+1+1+1+1+3+1+1+1+1+1+3+2+1+2+3+2+2+1+2+2+2 = 41$$
5. **Count the number of data points:**
$$n = 25$$
6. **Calculate the mean:**
$$\text{Mean} = \frac{41}{25} = 1.64$$
7. **Median:**
Sort the data:
$$[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,3,3,3]$$
The middle value (13th in sorted list) is $1$.
**Median = 1**

8. **Weighted Mean:**
Weights are frequencies of each education level:
- Bachelor Degree (1): count how many 1's
- Higher Degree (2): count how many 2's
- High School (3): count how many 3's
Count:
- 1 appears 15 times
- 2 appears 8 times
- 3 appears 3 times
Weighted mean formula:
$$\text{Weighted Mean} = \frac{\sum w_i x_i}{\sum w_i}$$
where $w_i$ is the frequency.
Calculate:
$$\frac{15\times1 + 8\times2 + 3\times3}{15+8+3} = \frac{15 + 16 + 9}{26} = \frac{40}{26} \approx 1.5385$$
---
9. **Geometric Mean:**
Formula:
$$\text{Geometric Mean} = \sqrt[n]{\prod_{i=1}^n x_i}$$
Calculate product:
$$1^{15} \times 2^{8} \times 3^{3} = 1 \times 256 \times 27 = 6912$$
Number of data points $n=26$ (corrected count from weighted mean denominator)
Calculate geometric mean:
$$\sqrt[26]{6912} = e^{\frac{\ln(6912)}{26}} \approx e^{\frac{8.840}{26}} = e^{0.34} \approx 1.405$$

10. **Measure of Dispersion:**
- Range = max - min = $3 - 1 = 2$
- Sample Variance formula:
$$s^2 = \frac{1}{n-1} \sum (x_i - \bar{x})^2$$
Calculate squared deviations:
For $x=1$: $(1-1.64)^2 = 0.4096$, count 15 times
For $x=2$: $(2-1.64)^2 = 0.1296$, count 8 times
For $x=3$: $(3-1.64)^2 = 1.8496$, count 3 times
Sum:
$$15 \times 0.4096 + 8 \times 0.1296 + 3 \times 1.8496 = 6.144 + 1.0368 + 5.5488 = 12.7296$$
Sample variance:
$$s^2 = \frac{12.7296}{25} = 0.5092$$
Sample standard deviation:
$$s = \sqrt{0.5092} \approx 0.7136$$

11. **Coefficient of Skewness:**
Formula (Pearson's first coefficient):
$$\text{Skewness} = \frac{3(\bar{x} - \text{Median})}{s}$$
Calculate:
$$\frac{3(1.64 - 1)}{0.7136} = \frac{3 \times 0.64}{0.7136} = \frac{1.92}{0.7136} \approx 2.69$$
Positive skewness indicates right-skewed distribution.
---
12. **Chebyshev's Theorem:**
For any $k > 1$, at least $\left(1 - \frac{1}{k^2}\right)100\%$ of data lies within $k$ standard deviations of the mean.
Example: For $k=2$, at least $1 - \frac{1}{4} = 0.75$ or 75% of data lies within $2s$ of mean.
Calculate interval:
$$[\bar{x} - 2s, \bar{x} + 2s] = [1.64 - 2(0.7136), 1.64 + 2(0.7136)] = [0.213, 3.067]$$
All data points (1,2,3) lie within this interval.
---
13. **Empirical Rule:**
For approximately normal data:
- 68% within $1s$
- 95% within $2s$
- 99.7% within $3s$
Calculate $1s$ interval:
$$[1.64 - 0.7136, 1.64 + 0.7136] = [0.9264, 2.3536]$$
Count data points within this range:
- Values 1 and 2 are within range, 3 is outside.
Percentage:
$$\frac{15 + 8}{26} = \frac{23}{26} \approx 88.5\%$$
This suggests data is not perfectly normal but concentrated around mean.
