  1. Section 9.4 Theorems About Variability

  2. Objectives: 1. To describe variability in an arbitrary set of data. 2. To describe variability in mound- shaped data.

  3. Theorem 9.3: Chebyshev’s Theorem Given any n measurements, at least 1 – 1/k2 of the measurements must lie within k standard deviations of the mean for k > 1. (At most 1/k2 of the data can lie outside the interval [x – ks, x + ks].)

  4. 1 1 8 1 - = 1 - = 2 9 9 k EXAMPLE 1What portion of scores must always lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean?

  5. EXAMPLE 2Check the theorem for the following set of data when k = 3. 1, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 12, 12

  6. Definition Mound-shaped data Mound-shaped data is a set of data in which the graph of frequencies is roughly symmetrical, and the mode is in the middle. The term “bell-shaped” is also used.

  8. Theorem 9.4: Empirical Rule Given a set of data that is mound-shaped, approximately 68% of the data will fall within 1 st. dev. of the mean, 95% will fall within 2 st. dev. of the mean, and 99.7% will fall within 3 st. dev. of the mean.

  9. 68% -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3

  10. 95% -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3

  11. 99.7% -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3

  12. EXAMPLE 3 Using the data shown, check that it is roughly mound-shaped and show that the empirical rule applies. 8, 9, 10, 8, 7, 5, 11, 6, 8, 7, 9, 7, 8, 10, 9, 8, 3, 9, 6, 4

  13. 8, 9, 10, 8, 7, 5, 11, 6, 8, 7, 9, 7, 8, 10, 9, 8, 3, 9, 6, 4. 3 - 1 4 - 1 5 - 1 6 - 2 7 - 3 8 - 5 9 - 4 10 - 2 11 - 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

  14. x = 152 / 20 = 7.6 Find the mean and st. dev. 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 7 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 9 + 10 + 10 + 11 s = 2.0

  15. Find the intervals of 1, 2, and 3 st. dev. around the mean. [x - s, x + s] = [5.6, 9.6] contains 14 of 20 or 70% [x - 2s, x + 2s] = [3.6, 11.6] contains 19 of 20 or 95% [x - 3s, x + 3s] = [1.6, 13.6] contains 20 of 20 or 100%

  16. Theorem 9.5: Central Limit Theorem If you repeatedly choose random samples each of size n (n  30) from the sample population and compute the mean for each sample, the graph of the frequency distribution of the population of all sample means will be mound-shaped.
