Farmer Brown Has 30 cows. The mean milk production is 28 litres per cow per day. The median cow yield is 203 litres per week. There are two outliers in the herd data. Their mean daily milk yields are 13 and 14 litres respectively. Farmer Jenkins Has 36 cows. The mean milk production is 32 litres per cow The median cow yield is 270 litres per week. There are two outliers in the herd data. Their mean daily milk yields are 16 and 44 respectively. Answer the following questions showing any calculations needed. What is the total milk production for a week for each farmer’s herd? Farmer Brown and Farmer Jenkins both included the outliers in their calculations of the mean and medians. By removing the outliers what would be the mean weekly yield for Farmer Jenkin’s herd? What effect would there be on the median number for a week’s yield in Farmer Jenkin’s herd if we remove the outliers? By the combining the herds do the farmers gain anything in terms of the new herd daily yield per cow? Who would gain the most by combining herds?
