12.4 – Standard Deviation
Measures of Variation


The range of a set of data is the
difference between the greatest and
least values.
The interquartile range is the
difference between the third and
first quartiles
Example
There are 9 members of the Community Youth Leadership Board.
Find the range and interquartile range of their ages: 22, 16, 24, 17,
16, 25, 20, 19, 26.
greatest value – least value = 26 – 16
Find the range.

Find Q1 and Q3.
Q3 – Q1 = 24.5 – 16.5
Find the interquartile range.

The range is 10 years. The interquartile range is 8 years.


Standard deviation is a measure
of how each value in a data set
varies or deviates from the mean
Steps to Finding Standard Deviation
1. Find the mean of the set of data: x
2. Find the difference between each
value and the mean: x  x
3. Square the difference: ( x  x) 2
4. Find the average (mean) of these
squares:  ( x  x ) 2
n
5. Take the square root to find the
standard deviation
 ( x  x) 2

Find the mean and the standard deviation for the values 78.2, 90.5,
98.1, 93.7, 94.5.
x = (78.2 + 90.5 + 98.1 +93.7 +94.5) = 91
Find the mean.

Z-Score: The Z-Score is the number
of standard deviations that a value
is from the mean.
Z-Score
A set of values has a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 3. Find the
z-score for a value of 24.
