Mean → Average Example 1: Mean Number of Accidents
A six-month study of a busy intersection reports the number of accidents per month as 3, 8, 5, 6, 6, 10. Find the mean number of accidents per month at the site.
Solution: Add all the values, divide by the number of values3 8 5 6 6 10 38
6.36 6

Example 2, Mean Home Prices In the real-estate section of the Sunday
paper, the following houses were listed:▪ 2-bedroom fixer-upper: $98,000▪ 2-bedroom ranch: $136,700▪ 3-bedroom colonial: $210,000▪ 3-bedroom contemporary: $289,900▪ 4-bedroom contemporary: $315,500▪ 8-bedroom mansion: $2,456,500
Find the mean price, and discuss how well it represents the center of the data.$584,433.

Median → middle value of a data set If the number of values is odd, the
median is the number in the middle If the number of values is even, the
median is the average of the two middle numbers
Example 3: Median Home Prices Find the median of the data set in
example 2, and discuss how well it represents the center of data.

Mode → data value with the highest frequency Most often used for qualitative data▪ Why?
If every value appears the same number of times, there is no mode
If two or more scores have equal frequency, the data is called bimodal (2 modes), trimodal (3 modes), or multimodal.

Standard Deviation: most common measure of variability Best used with symmetric distribution
(bell curve) Measures the average distance of an
element from the mean Deviation: individual distance of an
element from the mean

Standard Deviation1) Find the mean2) Determine each individual deviation3) Square each individual deviation4) Find the average of those squared values▪ This gives you the variance (σ2)
5) Take the square root of the variance Denoted using the Greek letter sigma (σ) Population versus Sample▪ When dealing with a sample of a population, divide
by n-1 instead of n. The result is called the sample standard deviation, and is denoted by s.
▪ As samples become larger, the deviation approaches the population standard deviation

Using the calculator TI Calculators▪ Make a list (2nd, minus sign, edit)▪ Go into statistical functions (2nd, plus sign, Calc)▪ Choose “OneVar”
▪ Go into list (2nd, minus sign, names)▪ Choose the appropriate list
Casio Calculators▪ Menu (Stat – Menu item #2)▪ Make a list▪ Calc (F2)▪ 1Var (F1)

What I want you to know What a standard deviation is How to calculate it based on a population How to calculate it based on a sample
What is cool (but not necessary) to know: 68% - 96% - 99% of population within 1-
2-3 standard distributions

Box & Whisker Plot Need five pieces of data: minimum, Q1,
median, Q3, maximum
Box is drawn, with the Q1 and Q3 representing the left and right sides of the box, respectively
Vertical line is drawn at the median “Whiskers” are horizontal lines drawn from
the left side of the box to the minimum, and right side to the maximum

Interquartile Range Measure of variability that is resistant to
extreme values A median divides a data set into an upper &
lower half▪ The first quartile, Q1, is the median of the lower half▪ The third quartile, Q3, is the median of the upper half
The interquartile range is the difference between the two quartiles (Q3 – Q1), which represents the spread of the middle 50% of data
