Range
• The range of a data set is the difference between
its maximum and minimum observations: Range =
Max – Min.
– Use Lower Real Limits: The Min is not merely the
lowest score its any score that could be rounded up to
the lowest score.
– Use Upper Real Limits: Likewise the Max is any score
that could be rounded down to the lowest score.
– For integer values this generally amounts to adding 0.5
to the highest to get the max, and subtracting 0.5 from
the lowest score to get the min.

Quartiles
• Let n denote the number of observations.
Arrange the data in increasing order.
• The first quartile is at position (n + 1)/4.
• The second quartile is the median, which is at
position (n + 1)/2.
• The third quartile is at position 3(n + 1)/4.
• If a position is not a whole number, linear
interpolation is used to find the fraction
representing the quartile.

Interquartile Range
• The interquartile range, denoted IQR, is
the difference between the first and third
quartiles; that is,
IQR = Q3 – Q1
• Roughly speaking, the IQR gives the range
of the middle 50% of the observations.

Five Number Summary
• The five-number summary of a data set
consists of the minimum, maximum, and
quartiles written in increasing order: Min,
Q1, Q2, Q3, Max.

Standard Deviation of a Discrete
Random Variable
The population standard deviation of a discrete random variable X
is denoted by  and is defined by

The variance, V, is the square of the standard deviation

Sample Standard Deviation
• For a variable x, the standard deviation of the
observations for a sample is called a sample
standard deviation. It is denoted by sx or, when no
confusion will arise, simply by s. We have

Sample Standard Deviation
• Almost all of the observations in any data
set lie within three standard deviations to
either side of the mean
• 95% of the observations lie within two
standard deviations to either side of the
mean
• 68% of the observations lie within one
standard deviation to either side of the mean

Again, The Basic Idea of
Experiments
1. Are there differences between means?
2. Is that difference large enough so that it is
not likely to be due to chance factors?
Answer:
It depends on how far apart the means are
and how much dispersion you have in
your variables

Effect Size Compared to Random Variation
The
variability
within
samples is
small and it
is easy to
see the
5-point
mean
difference
between the
two
samples.

Effect Size Compared to Random Variation
The 5point
mean
difference
between
samples is
obscured
by the
large
variability
within
samples.
