1. Box Plots

2. Statistical Measures Measures of Central Tendency: numbers that represent the middle of the data (mean, median, mode) Mean ( x ):Arithmetic average Median: Middle of the data listed in ascending order (use if there is an outlier) Mode:Most common number (if modes – can be more than one) Statistics  practice of analyzing a set of data Skewed Right (positively): Skewed Left (negatively): Less data to the right. Less data to the left Standard Deviation (σ): Variance: How much data is spread out Measure of variation (high=spread out)

3. 5 Number Summary: Minimum Value (0 Percentile) Q1:Quartile 1 (25 th Percentile) Med (Q2):Median (50 th Percentile) Min: Q3:Quartile 3 (75 th Percentile) Max:Maximum or Q4 (100 th Percentile) Middle 50% Q1Q2 Med Q3 Max Q4 Min IQR: Q3 – Q1 (where the middle 50% are) 25%25% 25%25% 25%25% 25%25%

4. Mean Standard Deviation Minimum 1 st Quartile Median 3 rd Quartile Maximum Calculator Information You still have to find the mode by looking for the most common number(s), calculate the IQR by finding the diffference of Q3 and Q1 and finding the range by finding the difference of maximum and minimum Calculator Commands Enter data into STAT  EDIT STAT→CALC → 1-Var STATS…

The data is more spread out although it’s the same average.

10. 1)Which date has the most variability (spread)? 2)Make a statement about airline delays 3) Which would you expect to have larger variability (IQR) A) Heights of freshmen B) Ages of freshmen C) Weights of freshmen D) Heights of 5 year-olds?

11. [Which of the following will have the most variability? A.[Heights of people in this room] B.[Ages of people in this room] C.[The number of countries that people have been to in this room?] Variability: How close the numbers are together More spread out= High Variability = Large Standard Deviation =High IQR

12. Which would have a lower standard deviation? (Be prepared to explain): A.[The heights of students in this class] B.[The heights of students in this school]
