1. Variance & mean deviation Frequency Distribution Golden Ratio Dot Plots How do you calculate the variance and mean deviation for a data set? Unit 4 M2 Unit 4: Day 4

2. Variance Variance can be found by squaring the standard deviation. If you have a sample of data: If you have data for a population:

3. Variance Example 1 A sample of test scores is as follows: 67, 95, 74, 86, 80, 70 Find the variance.

4. Variance Example 2 A sample of driving speeds is as follows: 55, 62, 59, 68, 75, 70 Find the variance.

5. Variance Example 3 Find the variance: 19,8,12,17,16,25,5

6. Variance Example 4 Find the variance: 38,42,40,37,28,39,40

7. Using Variance to find Standard Deviation If you know the variance then you can find the s.d. by taking the square root.

8. Example 1 If the Variance = 125. Find the standard deviation.

9. Example 2 If the Variance = 52. Find the standard deviation.

10. Mean Deviation The Mean Deviation (MD) is the mean of the distances between each value and the mean. It gives us an idea of how spread out from the center the set of values is. ACTUAL VALUE - MEAN NOT IN CALCULATOR; ON FORMULA SHEET

11. Watch me as I work one… The ECHS soccer team played 3 games last weekend. The number of points scored in each game was 11, 8, 8. Find the mean deviation. First, find the mean, Then, find the difference of each data value and the mean Last, find the sum of the numbers you just found and divide by the number of terms in the data set. MD = 1.3

12. Let’s try one together… 1. The ECHS baseball team played 4 games last week. The number of points scored in each game was 8, 12, 10, 7. Find the mean deviation. First, find the mean, Then, find the difference of each data value and the mean Last, find the sum of the numbers you just found and divide by the number of terms in the data set. MD = 1.75

13. You try… 2. A student took 5 exams in a class and had scores of 92, 75, 95, 90, and 98. Find the mean deviation for her test scores. We can conclude that on average, this student’s scores deviated by 6 points from the mean.

14. You try… 3. The JV football team played 7 games this season. Find the mean deviation of the number of points they scored in each game. 11,15,17,20,13,11,18 On average, the # of points scored in each game deviated 2.9 points from the mean.

15. Frequency Distribution A frequency distribution lists the value with its associated frequency. EX 1: The following is the number of hours students study per night: 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,5 Create a frequency distribution.

16. Create a frequency distribution 2. Use the following data: 8, 7, 5, 8, 5, 7, 6, 5, 5, 8, 6, 7, 8 MarkTallyCount 56785678 IIII II III IIII 42344234

17. Use the frequency table below to find the mean and standard deviation MarkTallyCount 3 5 9 10 13 III IIII II I 3342133421

18. Dot Plot A dot plot is a type of graphic display used to compare frequency counts within categories or groups. As you might guess, a dot plot is made up of dots plotted on a graph. Here is how to interpret a dot plot.

19. #1 - find the mean, standard deviation and mode for the given data mean:_______ standard deviation:_________ Mode: _______ 10.68 4.49 10

20. #2 – find the mean, standard deviation and mode for the given data, then create a frequency table mean:_______ standard deviation:_________ Mode: ________ 43.81 4.05 39, 40

21. Golden Ratio The golden ratio is Artists and architects deem this ratio as being the most aesthetically pleasing and have used it as a basis for their art and buildings for years. Famous examples: Mona Lisa, Sacrament of the Last Supper, and the Parthenon in Athens.
