  1. Section 9.2 Variability

  2. Objectives: 1. To define and distinguish measures of variability. 2. To calculate measures of variability.

  3. Variabilityis the amount of scatter or dispersion of data from the mean.

  4. Consider the following values. 28, 34, 41, 39, 34, 36, 40, 29, 33, 34, 30, 34, 37, 40, 33, 35, 32, 33, 34, 35, 39, 37, 36, 33, 34, 36, 34, 35, 29, 33, 35, 34, 36, 34

  10. Today we are going to discuss three measures of variability: 1. Range 2. Variance 3. Standard deviation

  12. Each list has a mean and median of 6, but the lists are not the same. Therangeis the highest value minus the lowest value.

  13. The deviationof a data value from the mean is the difference between the data value and the mean, xi – x.

  15. n  |xi – x| i=1 n The mean deviationaverages the absolute values of the deviations.

  16. n SS = (xi – x)2 i=1 The sum of the squared deviations (numerator) is important and is often abbreviated to SS forsum of squares:

  18. N (xi – )2 i=1 2 = N Defintion VarianceThe average of squared deviation. For a population:

  19. n (xi – x)2 i=1 s2 = n-1 Defintion VarianceThe average of squared deviation. For a sample:

  20. Defintion VariancePopulation variance can be estimated based on sample variance.

  21. n (xi - x)2 i =1 s = n - 1 Defintion Standard DeviationThe square root of the variance.
