Measures of Variation
![Page 2: Measures of Variation. Range The difference between the maximum and the minimum data entries in a data set. Range = max value – min value.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649e1a5503460f94b07e4c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
RangeThe difference between the maximum
and the minimum data entries in a data set.
Range = max value – min value
![Page 3: Measures of Variation. Range The difference between the maximum and the minimum data entries in a data set. Range = max value – min value.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649e1a5503460f94b07e4c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
DeviationThe difference between a data entry (x)
and the mean (µ)
Deviation of x = x - µ

Population Variance (σ2)Square the deviations of the data set,
then average them to get the population variance.
σ2 = Σ(x - µ)2 n

Population Standard Deviation… Just take the square root of the
population variance.

Interpreting Standard DeviationStandard deviation is the measure of the
typical amount an entry deviates from the mean. The more entries are spread out, the greater the standard deviation.
![Page 11: Measures of Variation. Range The difference between the maximum and the minimum data entries in a data set. Range = max value – min value.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649e1a5503460f94b07e4c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Empirical RuleFor data with a symmetric (bell-shaped)
distribution, the standard deviation has the following characteristics:
1. About 68% of the data lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
2. About 95% of the data lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
3. About 99.7% of the data lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
![Page 12: Measures of Variation. Range The difference between the maximum and the minimum data entries in a data set. Range = max value – min value.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649e1a5503460f94b07e4c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Ex (from page 96)Use the Empirical Rule – assume the data
has a bell-shaped distribution:
30. The mean monthly utility bill for a sample of households in a city is $70, with a standard deviation of $8. Between what two values do about 95% of the data lie?
![Page 13: Measures of Variation. Range The difference between the maximum and the minimum data entries in a data set. Range = max value – min value.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649e1a5503460f94b07e4c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Chebychev’s TheoremThis works for ANY data set,
symmetric or not.
The portion of any data set lying within k standard deviations of the mean is at least
1 - 1 k2
![Page 14: Measures of Variation. Range The difference between the maximum and the minimum data entries in a data set. Range = max value – min value.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649e1a5503460f94b07e4c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Ex: (from page 96)36. Old Faithful is a famous geyser at
Yellowstone National Park. From a sample with n = 32, the mean duration of Old Faithful’s eruptions is 3.32 minutes and the standard deviation is 1.09 minutes. Using Chebyshev’s Theorem, determine at least how many of the eruptions lasted between 1.14 minutes and 5.5 minutes.

QuartilesData set is divided into 4 sections,
separated by 3 QUARTILESQ1 – about 25% of the data is below
Quartile 1Q2 – about 50% of the data is below
Quartile 2Q3 – about 75% of the data is below
Quartile 3
(Q2 is also the median!)

Ex: Find the QuartilesThe number of vacations days used by a sample of 20 employees in a recent year:

![Page 19: Measures of Variation. Range The difference between the maximum and the minimum data entries in a data set. Range = max value – min value.](https://reader038.fdocuments.in/reader038/viewer/2022103005/56649e1a5503460f94b07e4c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
InterQuartile Range (IQR)IQR is the measure of variation that
given the range of the middle 50% of the data. It is the difference between the 3rd and 1st quartiles.
IQR = Q3 – Q1

Box-and-Whisker PlotFind the 3 quartiles of the data set,
and the minimum and maximum entries
Construct a horizontal scale that spans the range.
Draw a box from Q1 to Q3 and draw a vertical line at Q2.
Draw whiskers from the box to the min and max entries.

Percentiles and DecilesSimilar to Quartiles, but the data is
divided into 10 or 100 parts instead of 4.
8th Decile 80% of the data falls before the decile.
95th Percentile 95% of the data falls before the percentile

Standard Score (z-score)Represents the number of standard
deviations a given value (x) falls from the mean (µ).
z = value – mean = x - µ

Ex: (from page 112)48. The life spans of a species of fruit fly
have a bell-shaped distribution, with a mean of 33 days and a standard deviation of 4 days.A. The life spans of three randomly selected
fruit flies are 34 days, 30 days, and 42 days. Find the z-score that corresponds to each life span. Determine if any of these life spans are unusual.
B. The life spans of three randomly selected fruit flies are 29 days, 41 days, and 25 days. Using the Empirical Rule, find the percentile that corresponds to each life span.
