Stat 135 Lab 7 Learning objective #38 TA: Dongmei Li
Lecture Review • Symmetric • Mean=Median • Skewed to the left • Mean < Median • Skewed to the right • Median < Mean • The mean and standard deviation are heavily influenced by outliers, the median and the quartiles are not. Because of this, the mean is located farther toward the long tail of a skewed histogram than the median.
Lecture Review • Boxplot • Min • Max • Q1 • Q3 • Median
Lecture Review • When the standard deviation = 0, there is no spread – every number on the list is the same. • Adding or subtracting the same value to every number on a list will change the median and mean correspondingly, but not the standard deviation. • Multiplying or dividing every number on a list by the same positive value will change the mean, median, and standard deviation correspondingly. • Multiplying or dividing by a negative value will change the standard deviation by the corresponding positive number (the standard deviation is always positive).
Lab 7 Learning Objective • 38. Learn the relationship between key statistical summaries and histograms (For example, mean, median, standard deviation, and quartiles).
