  1. 2.4 Measures of Variation

  2. Range - The difference between the maximum and the minimum data entries in the set Range = (Max – Min) Deviation – the difference between the entry and the mean of the data set. Deviation of Range and Deviation

  3. Variance and Standard Deviation • Population Variance: • Population Standard Deviation: • Sample Variance: • Sample Standard Deviation:

  4. -.3 1.7 .7 -.3 -1.3 2.7 -1.3 -2.3 -.3 .7 .09 2.89 .49 .09 1.69 7.29 1.69 5.29 .09 .49 SSx= 2.01 1.418 2.233 1.494 Mean = 70.3

  5. Empirical Rule

  6. About 68% of the data lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean

  7. About 95% of the data lies within 2 standard deviation of the mean

  8. About 99.7 of the data lies within 3 standard deviation of the mean

  9. Examples Heights of Women in the U.S. have a mean of 64 with a standard deviation of 2.75. Use the empirical rule to estimate: • The percent of the heights that are between 61.25 and 64 inches. ANS: 34% • Between what two values does about 95% of the data lie? ANS: (58.5, 69.5)

  10. Chebychev’s Theorem • The portion of any data set lying within k standard deviations (k>1) of the mean is at least Example: k = 2 , 75% of the data is within 2 standard deviations of the mean k = 3; 88.9% of the data lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

  11. Sample Standard deviation for grouped data
