Compare the data sets given below. a. 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 b. 20, 43, 44, 46, 47, 70 c. 40, 43, 44, 46, 47, 50 Med = 45
2
Measures of variability: 1. Range 2. Interquartile Range (IQR) 3. deviation 4. variance 5. Standard deviation
3
Deviation – how much data varies from the center (usually ) the difference between the value and the mean Ex. Find the deviation score for each student. StudentScoreDeviation Score Bill 9 Mary 6 Fred 7 Tom 4 Bea 9 What is the sum of the deviations? 2 0 -3 2 zeroIs it always zero?
4
Variance - The average of the squares of the deviation s2s2 Is variance resistant or non resistant?
5
Ex. The number of accidents occurring in each of six weeks on a busy highway were 4, 0, 6, 10, 5, 5. Find the variance for the number of accidents. ______n = ______ ObservationsDeviationsDeviations 2 = _______s 2 = ________
6
Standard Deviation - The positive square root of the variance. Is standard deviation resistant or non resistant?
7
Cumulative Frequency Graphs (Ogives) The ages of people attending the opening show of a new movie are summarized in the ogive shown
8
Cumulative Frequency Graphs (Ogives) Here is an ogive of the distribution of students' marks on their statistics test. Estimate the IQR for the student’s grades.
