Slide 2 Measures of Location Mean Median Mode Percentiles Quartiles If the measures are computed for data from a sample, they are called sample statistics. If the measures are computed for data from a population, they are called population parameters. A sample statistic is referred to as the point estimator of the corresponding population parameter. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

The mean provides a measure of central location. The mean of a data set is the average of all the data values. The sample mean x is the point estimator of the population mean m. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Whenever a data set has extreme values, the median is the preferred measure of central location. The median is the measure of location most often reported for annual income and property value data. A few extremely large incomes or property values can inflate the mean. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Slide 11 Median Example: Apartment Rents Averaging the 35th and 36th data values: Median = (475 + 475)/2 = 475 425 440 450 465 480 510 575 430 440 450 470 485 515 575 430 440 450 470 490 525 580 435 445 450 472 490 525 590 435 445 450 475 490 525 600 435 445 460 475 500 535 600 435 445 460 475 500 549 600 435 445 460 480 500 550 600 440 450 465 480 500 570 615 440 450 465 480 510 570 615 Note: Data is in ascending order. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Slide 12 Trimmed Mean Another measure, sometimes used when extreme values are present, is the trimmed mean. It is obtained by deleting a percentage of the smallest and largest values from a data set and then computing the mean of the remaining values. For example, the 5% trimmed mean is obtained by removing the smallest 5% and the largest 5% of the data values and then computing the mean of the remaining values. © 2011 Cengage Learning.

Slide 13 Mode The mode of a data set is the value that occurs with greatest frequency. The greatest frequency can occur at two or more different values. If the data have exactly two modes, the data are bimodal. If the data have more than two modes, the data are multimodal. Caution: If the data are bimodal or multimodal, Excel’s MODE function will incorrectly identify a single mode. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Slide 15 Percentiles A percentile provides information about how the data are spread over the interval from the smallest value to the largest value. Admission test scores for colleges and universities are frequently reported in terms of percentiles. The pth percentile of a data set is a value such that at least p percent of the items take on this value or less and at least (100 - p) percent of the items take on this value or more. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Slide 16 Percentiles Arrange the data in ascending order. Compute index i, the position of the pth percentile. i = (p/100)n If i is not an integer, round up. The pth percentile is the value in the ith position. If i is an integer, the pth percentile is the average of the values in positions i and i+1. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Slide 21 Measures of Variability It is often desirable to consider measures of variability (dispersion), as well as measures of location. For example, in choosing supplier A or supplier B we might consider not only the average delivery time for each, but also the variability in delivery time for each. © 2011 Cengage Learning.

Slide 23 Range The range of a data set is the difference between the largest and smallest data values. It is the simplest measure of variability. It is very sensitive to the smallest and largest data values. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Slide 24 Range Example: Apartment Rents Range = largest value - smallest value Range = 615 - 425 = 190 425 440 450 465 480 510 575 430 440 450 470 485 515 575 430 440 450 470 490 525 580 435 445 450 472 490 525 590 435 445 450 475 490 525 600 435 445 460 475 500 535 600 435 445 460 475 500 549 600 435 445 460 480 500 550 600 440 450 465 480 500 570 615 440 450 465 480 510 570 615 Note: Data is in ascending order. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Slide 25 Interquartile Range The interquartile range of a data set is the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile. It is the range for the middle 50% of the data. It overcomes the sensitivity to extreme data values. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Slide 26 Interquartile Range Example: Apartment Rents 3rd Quartile (Q3) = 525 1st Quartile (Q1) = 445 Interquartile Range = Q3 - Q1 = 525 - 445 = 80 425 440 450 465 480 510 575 430 440 450 470 485 515 575 430 440 450 470 490 525 580 435 445 450 472 490 525 590 435 445 450 475 490 525 600 435 445 460 475 500 535 600 435 445 460 475 500 549 600 435 445 460 480 500 550 600 440 450 465 480 500 570 615 440 450 465 480 510 570 615 Note: Data is in ascending order. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Slide 27 Variance The variance is a measure of variability that utilizes all the data. It is based on the difference between the value of each observation (xi) and the mean ( x for a sample, m for a population). The variance is useful in comparing the variability of two or more variables. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Slide 28 Variance The variance is the average of the squared differences between each data value and the mean. The variance is computed as follows: 2 ( xi x ) s n 1 for a sample 2 ( xi m ) 2 N 2 for a population © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Slide 29 Standard Deviation The standard deviation of a data set is the positive square root of the variance. It is measured in the same units as the data, making it more easily interpreted than the variance. © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.

Slide 30 Standard Deviation The standard deviation is computed as follows: s s2 2 for a sample for a population © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. Slide 31 Coefficient of Variation The coefficient of variation indicates how large the standard deviation is in relation to the mean. The coefficient of variation is computed as follows: s 100 % x 100 % m for a sample for a population © 2011 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved.
