... h) Which do you think provides a more informative summary of these data; a five number summary or the sample mean and sample standard deviation? Briefly explain your answer. The shape of the distribution is skewed left. A five number summary would be a more informative summary. The heart rates for a ...

But for most all variables, we won’t know the population standard deviation We do know what the standard deviation of our sample is, since we can calculate it after we finish our study We can estimate the population standard deviation with the standard deviation of the sample But s is a biased estim ...

... mean, which is used to calculate the total sum of squares for the dependent variable. Two degrees of freedom are lost in estimating the two regression parameters, â and b̂ , necessary to calculate ŷ and the sum of observed squared residuals for a sample of size n. That leaves one degree of freedom ...
