1. Measures of Spread

2. Which distribution has the
smallest standard deviation?_____
largest standard deviation?_______
I know that the graph with the smallest standard deviation typically has the smallest ________________.

3. What are these math symbols?
Variance =
Standard Deviation =

4. Let's do one by hand! Standard Deviation = =______________ Variance =

5. Your Turn to find the Standard Deviation.
What's Step 1?____________ Do it.
What's Step 2?_______________ Do it.
What's step 3?____________ Do it
What's step 4?___________ Do it.

6. Compare your last two standard deviations
Compare your last two standard deviations. Which Standard Deviation is bigger? Circle the graph with the larger standard deviation.
A graph with the larger range typically has the larger standard deviation. However, these two graphs have the same standard deviation. How can you tell which standard deviation is larger if the graphs have the same range?______

7. Whew! Do you have to do ALL of that every time you need to know the standard deviation??
NOPE!

8. Use your calculator to find the mean, variance, and standard deviation
(Stat, Edit)
mean = ______
variance=_____
standard deviation=_____

9. What if there are outliers?
The mean and standard deviation are not resistant to outliers. Outliers will pull the mean away from the center and make the standard deviation too large. If there are outliers, the median is a better measure of center and the IQR....interquartile range....is a better measure of spread.
Which statistics are affected by outliers?_____
____________
Which statistics are not affected by outliers?___
________________________
Data A: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Data set B: 1, 2, 3, 4,500
mean:________ mean:________
stand. dev.______ stand.dev.______
median:_____ median:_____
IQR (Q3-Q1):______ IQR:_____
range:_________ range:_______

10. For each boxplot, find the range and IQR
For each boxplot, find the range and IQR. Which picture has the smallest IQR? Which has the largest IQR? Repeat for the histograms. Is it easier to see the IQR in boxplots or histograms?
Range:_________
IQR:_________
Range:_________
IQR:_________
Range:_________
IQR:_________
Range:_________
IQR:_________
Range:_________
IQR:_________
Range:_________
IQR:_________

11. Outlier... remember this?
Write down the data values in the histogram. _______________________
outliers<Q1-1.5(IQR)
outliers>Q3+1.5(IQR)
What is the 5 number summary
min____ Q1=____ median=____ Q3 =____ max =_____
What is the IQR?______
Calculate Q1-1.5IQR=_____ and Q IQR=____ Which values are outliers?____

12. Using the same distribution
Using the same distribution. Use your calculator to compute the standard deviation with the outlier(s) and without the outlier(s).
Standard deviation of all points:______
Standard deviation without outliers:_____
How has the standard deviation changed?_______________________________

13. Linear Transformations on summary statistics
Given the following data set, use your calculator to find the following summary statistics:
Multiply all of the data values by 2. Find the new summary statistics. How do the summary statistics change?
Compare the two data sets. Which summary statistics changed?___________________
By how much?______________

14. Given the following data set, use your calculator to find the following summary statistics:
Add 5 to all of the data values. Find the new summary statistics. How do the summary statistics change?
Compare the two data sets. Which summary statistics changed?___________________
By how much?______________

15. Summary of Linear Transformations:
Multiplying all numbers in the data set by a number 
causes_________________________________________ 
to change by a factor of _____________.
Adding a value to all numbers in the data set causes 
_____________ to change by ____________. 
______________ will not change because 
_____________________.

16. Putting it all together
Putting it all together...compare 2 distributions with center, shape and spread

17. 3) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of Bryce's grade.
4) Calculate the mean and standard deviation of Brianna's grade.
5) Would you change your recommendation of who should get the award after computing the mean and standard deviation?
