Usually from: – Measurement or recording error – Measurement from a different population – A rare, chance event. 3 Advantages/Disadvantages Mean • Disadvantages – is sensitive to outliers • Advantages – always exists – very common – nice mathematical properties 4 Advantages/Disadvantages Median • Disadvantages – does not take all data into account • Advantages – – – – always exists easily calculated not affected by outliers nice mathematical properties 5 Advantages/Disadvantages Mode • Disadvantages – does not always exist, there could be just one of each data point – sometimes more than one • Advantages – appropriate for qualitative data 6 Review A data set is skewed if one tail of the distribution has more extreme observations than the other. http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/ SkewDistribution/ 7 Review Skewed to the right: The mean is bigger than the median.

We want a measure which shows how far away most of the data points are from the mean. 19 What else? We want a measure which shows how far away most of the data points are from the mean. One option is to keep track of the average distance each point is from the mean. 20 Mean Deviation The Mean Deviation is a measure of dispersion which calculates the distance between each data point and the mean, and then finds the average of these distances. Mean Deviation sum xi x n x i x n 21 Mean Deviation Advantages: The mean deviation takes into account all values in the sample. Disadvantages: The absolute value signs are very cumbersome in mathematical equations. 22 Standard Deviation The sample variance, denoted by s², is: s 2 (x x) 2 i n 1 23 Standard Deviation The sample variance, denoted by s², is: s 2 (x x) 2 i n 1 The sample standard deviation is s s . The sample standard deviation is much more commonly used as a measure of variance. 2 24 Example Let the following be data from a sample: 2, 4, 3, 2, 5, 2, 1, 4, 5, 2.
