7.3 Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion
2
Mean – the arithmetic average is the sum of all values in the data set divided by the number of values. Median – the middle value when the data values are arranged in ascending or descending order. If there are an even # of values then find the mean of the middle 2 values. Mode – the value that is repeated most often from the data. Can be 0, 1 or more than one modes Measures of Central Tendency
3
Measures of Dispersion Standard Deviation : Symbol Range : highest value – lowest value How Spread Out sigma Formula
4
normal curve When we talk about data, often times it falls on what we call a normal curve.
5
Standard Deviation This gives us a picture of how the Standard Deviation can tell us how an individual value relates to the bulk of the data.
6
Find the, median, mode and range for the following data. 40, 45, 39, 40, 42, 41, 37, 41, 40, 41
7
40, 45, 39, 40, 42, 41, 37, 41, 40, 41 Now let’s find the standard deviation.
