14.3 Measures of Dispersion Compute the range of a data set Calculate the standard deviation of a distribution Understand how the standard deviation measures the spread of a distribution Use the coefficient of variation to compare the standard deviations of different data sets

How spread is the data? Imagine you are shopping for a pacemaker battery for a loved one. You have two choices: Choice A has a mean of lasting 45,000 hours and Choice B has a mean of lasting 46,000 hours. Is this an easy choice? Is mean the best measure? What else might you want to know?

I WOULD WANT CONSISTENCY!! Choice A’s values were within the 44,500-45,500 hour range. This means all the data values were within 500 hours of the mean. Choice B’s values were within 43,500-48,500 hour range. This means all the data was within 2500 hours of the mean. Now which one would you choose?

Range Measure of dispersion Difference between the largest and smallest value in a data set Example: Quiz Scores for Jill: 74,75,76 Example: Quiz Scores for Jack: 50,75,100 Range: 100 - 50 Range = 50 Range: 76 - 74 Range = 2

Deviation In mathematics and statistics, deviation is a measure of difference between the observed value of a variable and that variable's mean. Standard deviation is the frequently used measure of dispersion: it uses squared deviations.

How far is x from the mean? Deviation How far is x from the mean? number mean x 16 14 12 21 22

16 16-17 = - 1 14 14- 17 = -3 12 12-17 = -5 21 21-17 = 4 22 22-17 = 5

Standard Deviation

Computing the Standard Deviation Compute the mean of the data set; call it Find for each score in the data set. Add the squares found in step two and divide the sum by n-1. This is called the variance. Compute the square root of the number found in step 3.

Mean is 17 16 14 12 21 22

16 -1 14 -3 12 -5 21 4 22 5

16 -1 1 14 -3 9 12 -5 25 21 4 22 5

Assignment: Pg. 815 #6-14 EVENS you need to make the table to show how you find standard deviation

Notes Part 2

SAMPLE STANDARD DEVIATION FOR A FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION:

x Closing Price f Frequency Product 37 1 38 2 39 5 40 41 4 42 44

x Closing Price f Frequency Product 37 1 38 2 76 39 5 195 40 200 41 4 164 42 84 44

x Closing Price f Frequency Product (x -40) Deviation Deviation Squared 37 1 38 2 76 39 5 195 40 200 41 4 164 42 84 44

x Closing Price f Frequency Product (x -40) Deviation Deviation Squared 37 1 -3 9 38 2 76 -2 4 39 5 195 -1 40 200 41 164 42 84 44 16

x Closing Price f Frequency Product (x -40) Deviation Deviation Squared 37 1 -3 9 38 2 76 -2 4 8 39 5 195 -1 40 200 41 164 42 84 44 16

Standard Deviation on the calculator Enter your data into a list Go to Stat, Calc, and do 1-Var stats (like you do for 5 number summary) You will see both the standard deviation for a sample (Sx)

Coefficient of Variation Standard deviation Mean We use this to compare the standard deviations of different sets of data.

Example: Data set of Pre-School Weights Data set of NFL Lineman Weights We would say that because the coefficient of variation is larger for the preschoolers, we conclude that there is more variation, relatively speaking, in their weights compared to the weights of the football players.
