How to find the range, variance, and standard deviation of a data set.

Closing prices for two stocks were recorded on ten successive Fridays. Calculate the mean, median, and mode for each DIS The Walt Disney Company WMT Wal-Mart Stores

Both stocks have the same mean, median, and mode. Does this mean the data are the same? How are the two stocks different? DIS Mean = 61.5 Median = 62 Mode = 67 WMT Mean = 61.5 Median = 62 Mode = WMT DIS

Both stocks have the same mean, median, and mode. Does this mean the data are the same? How are the two stocks different? DIS Mean = 61.5 Median = 62 Mode = 67 WMT Mean = 61.5 Median = 62 Mode = WMT DIS RANGE = 11 RANGE = 57

The deviation for each value x is the difference between the value of x and the mean of the data set. To learn to calculate measures of variation that use every value in the data set, you first want to know about deviations. In a population, the deviation for each value x is: In a sample, the deviation for each value x is:

– 5.5 – 4.5 – 3.5 – – – 61.5 DIS Deviation The sum of the deviations is always zero. Mean: 61.5

Population Variance: The sum of the squares of the deviations, divided by N. Sample Variance: The sum of the squares of the deviations, divided by n – 1.

x - x – 5.5 – 4.5 – 3.5 – x (x – x)

Population Standard Deviation: The square root of the population variance. The standard deviation is $4.58 for the Disney Stock. Sample Standard Deviation: The square root of the sample variance.

Now, let’s find the standard deviation for the Wal-Mart stock prices. x – x x (x – x) 2

Now, let’s find the standard deviation for the Wal-Mart stock prices. x – x x (x – x) x

The population standard deviation for DIS stock is $4.58. The population standard deviation for WMT stock is $ The data for the WMT stock is much more deviated (spread out) than DIS stock.

Describes the standard deviation as a percent of the mean. Used to compare data with different units. Example: On average students spend 80 minutes studying per night with a standard deviation of 15 minutes. Also student height averages at 66 inches with a standard deviation of 3.5 inches. Which is more variable, height or study time? CV study = 15/80 * 100 = CV height = 3.5/66 * 100 = 5.303

How to find the quartiles and inter-quartile range of a data set How to represent the data using a box and whisker plot How to interpret other fractiles, such as percentiles How to calculate z-scores

3 quartiles Q 1, Q 2 and Q 3 divide the data into 4 equal parts.  Q 2 is the same as the median.  Q 1 is the median of the data below Q 2.  Q 3 is the median of the data above Q 2.

You are managing a store. The average sale for each of 27 randomly selected days in the last year is given. Find Q 1, Q 2, and Q 3. The data in ranked order (n = 27) are: The median = Q2 = 42. Q1 is 30 & Q3 is 45. The Interquartile Range is Q 3 – Q 1 = 45 – 30 = 15. Lower half Upper half

Percentiles divide the data into 100 parts. There are 99 percentiles: P 1, P 2, P 3 …P 99. Example: If a ten year old boy is at the 75 th percentile, that means the boys weight is greater than 75% of all ten year old boys. P 50 =Q 2 =median P 25 =Q 1 P 75 =Q 3

The standard score or z-score, represents the number of standard deviations that a data value, x, falls from the mean. Example: The test scores for a civil service exam have a mean of 152 and standard deviation of 7. Find the standard z-score for a person with a score of: (a) 161 (b) 148 (c) 152

(c) 152 (a) 161 (b) 148 A value of x = 161 is 1.29 standard deviations above the mean. A value of x = 148 is 0.57 standard deviations below the mean. A value of x = 152 is equal to the mean. Mean: 152 and standard deviation: 7

What does a z-score of 1.29 mean? This means that 90.15% of the people scored a 161 or below on their civil service exam. OR This means that 9.85% of the people scored a 161 or higher on their civil service exam.
