3.1 Graphical Displays Name and be able to analyze the various types of distributions Symmetric: Uniform, U-shaped, Mound-shaped Asymmetric: Left/Right-skewed How do you calculate bin width? (range) ÷ (# of bars)
2
3.2 Central Tendency Calculate mean, median, mode and weighted mean Determine which measure is appropriate Symmetric Mean/Median No outliers Mean Outliers Median Qualitative data; frequency important Mode Skewed distributions Right skewed: mode < median < mean Left-skewed: mean < median < mode
3
3.3 Measures of Spread Calculate and interpret Range, IQR and Standard Deviation (4-6 data points) A larger value for ANY measure of spread means the data has more spread (less consistent) Range size of the interval containing all of the data IQR size of the interval containing the middle 50% Std. dev. average deviation from the mean
4
3.3 Measures of Spread cont’d How to calculate IQR Order the data!!! Find the median, Q2 Find the 1 st half median, Q1 Find the 2 nd half median, Q3 IQR = Q3 – Q1 How to calculate Std.dev. Find the mean Find the deviations (data point – mean) Square the deviations Average the deviations variance σ 2 Take square root std. dev. σ OMLUD* * = credit to Chris/Jasmine/Holly

3.4 Normal Distribution Know the characteristics of a Normal Distribution (68–95–99.7% Rule) Calculate the % of data in an interval based on std.dev. Ex: If a set of data has mean 10 and standard deviation 2, what percent of the data lie between 6 and 14? ans: 6 is 2 std dev below the mean and 14 is 2 std dev above. So 95% of the data falls in the range (see next slide)

7
Normal Distribution Ex: If a set of data has mean 10 and standard deviation 2, what percent of the data lie between 8 and 14? Ans: 34% + 34% + 13.5% = 81.5%

3.5 Z-Scores Standard Normal Distribution mean 0, std dev 1 z-scores map any data to this distribution 1) Calculate a z-score # of std. dev. above/below the mean 2) Calculate the % of data below / above a value (z- table on p. 398-399) 3) Calculate the percentile for a piece of data (round z-table percentage to a whole number) 4) Calculate the percentage of data between 2 values (find z-scores, look up %s below both, subtract smaller from larger)
10
3.5 Z-Scores Ex: Given that X~N(10,2 2 ), what percent of the data is between 7 and 11? Ans: for 7: z = (7 – 10)/2 = -1.5 6.68% for 11: z = (11-10)/2 = 0.5 69.15% 69.15 – 6.68 = 62.47 So 62.47% of the data lies between these two values
11
3.6 Mathematical Indices These are arbitrary numbers that provide a measure of something e.g., BMI, Slugging Percentage, Moving Average You should be able to work with a given formula and interpret the meaning of calculated results Moving averages – use for data that fluctuates over time e.g., 3-day moving average is the average of every 3-day period (no wrapawaounds)
12
5.3 Binomial Distributions recognize a binomial experiment situation n identical trials two possible outcomes independent events (constant probability) calculate probabilities for these situations
13
5.3 Binomial Distributions ex: A family decides to buy 5 dogs. If the chances of picking a male and female are equal, what is the probability of getting 3 males? ans: using binomial probability distribution formula:
14
5.3 Binomial Distributions Calculate the expected value for # of passes on 4 tests if you have a 60% chance of passing each time Ans: E(x) = np = 4(0.60) = 2.4 So you are expected to pass 2.4 tests Expected value is an average continuous Don’t round in these situations
15
5.4 Normal Approximation of Binomial Distribution What about finding a range of probabilities e.g., P(1≤X≤4)=P(X=1)+P(X=2)+P(X=3)+P(X=4) If the number of trials is large enough, the binomial distribution approximates a Normal Distribution
16
5.4 Normal Approximation of Binomial Distribution
17
ex: A die is rolled 100 times. What is the probability of getting fewer than 15 sixes? Ans: From the z-score table, the probability is 28.1%
18
5.4 Normal Approximation of Binomial Distribution ex: what is the probability of getting between 15 and 20 sixes? ans:
