Basic Statistics Standard Deviation shows how much the data vary from the mean. x i = represents the individual data μ = represents the mean of the data set ∑ = the sum of a mathematical operation n = the total number of variables in the data set Equation for Standard Deviation = ∑(x i – μ)² √ n - 1 © 2013 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology
Basic Statistics What is the standard deviation for the following data set? 1, 4, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12 Equation for Standard Deviation = ∑(x i – μ)² √ n - 1 © 2013 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology
Practice Questions What is the standard deviation for the following data set? (1, 4, 4, 6, 7, 8, 12) ∑(x i – μ)² √ n - 1 The mean for the data set is 6, therefore μ = 6. ∑(x i – μ)² = ∑(1 – 6)² + (4 – 6)² + (4 – 6)² + (6 – 6)² + (7 – 6)² + (8 – 6)² + (12 – 6)² = ∑(-5)² + (-2)² + (-2)² + (0)² + (1)² + (2)² + (6)² = ∑(25) + (4) + (4) + (0) + (1) + (4) + (36) = 74 ∑(x i – μ)² = 74 = 74 = 12.3 = 3.51 √ n – 1 √ √ 6 √ © 2013 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology
Basic Statistics The Range is the distribution of the data set or the difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set. Example: 1, 2, 3, 4, 4 Largest Value = 4 and the Smallest Value = 1 Range = (4 – 1) = 3 © 2013 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology

Basic Statistics Engineering tolerance is the amount a characteristic can vary without compromising the overall function or design of the product. Tolerances generally apply to the following: Physical dimensions (part and/or fastener) Physical properties (materials, services, systems) Calculated values (temperature, packaging) © 2013 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology
Basic Statistics Engineering tolerances are expressed like a written language and follow the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards. Example: Bilateral Tolerance ( ) Example: Unilateral Tolerance (2.575 ) Upper and lower specification limit are derived from the acceptable tolerance. Bilateral and Unilateral are just two examples of how tolerance is expressed using ANSI. © 2013 International Technology and Engineering Educators Association, STEM Center for Teaching and Learning™ Foundations of Technology –
