standard deviation, variance, inter-quartile
range and outliers.

Mean = Average
"x­bar"
or
Median M = Midpoint
1. Order Sm to Lrg
2. If odd # of observations, middle #
3. If even # of observations, mean of 2 middle numbers
* Median is not affected (as much)by outliers. The mean is affected by outliers.
Find the Mean and Median
Ex. 2, 4, 8, 10 now compare to data 2, 4, 8, 10, 26

Find the Mean and Median with the TI ­ 84
IQ Test scores 11 randomly selected 7th graders.
114, 100, 104, 89, 102, 91, 114, 114, 103, 105, 108
Mean
Sum of the observations

If data is exactly symmetric the mean = median
M
If data is skewed left, mean < median
M
If data is skewed right, mean > median

Min, Q1, Med, Q3, Max
When to use? When you have
skewed data, using the Median to
describe the center.
IQR ­ Inter Quartile Range Q3 ­ Q1 Spread of the middle 50%
Outlier ­ If a point is more than 1.5(Q3 ­ Q1) from Q1 or Q3, then it is an outlier

Standard Deviation
Used to describe the spread of data when
using the mean to describe the center.
Standard Deviation is the average spread of
data from the mean.
n-1 represents the degrees of freedom
When s=0, there is no spread
s>0 Always! Why?
As observations become more spread out,
s will increase.
Variance - is the Standard Deviation
squared
