Measures of Center
Mean (average): Sum of x’s / total number of values It is the balance point of a distribution
Median is the value the divides the data into 2 halves. The middle number or average of middle 2
numbers. 1,3,6,8,9 Median is 6 1,3,7,9,10,15 Median is (7+9)/2=8
𝑥ҧ= σ𝑥𝑛

Effect of Outliers
An extreme outlier has a larger effect on the mean than the median. Why? 1,4,6,8 Find the mean and median 1,4,6,8 and 55: Now find the mean and
median Remember the mean is the balance
point of a distribution and the median is the middle number.

Median and the Spread
Use the Speed of Mammals to investigate median and the 5-Number Summary:
Find the median of the Predators:
Find the lower or first quartile of the Predators: (omit the median)
Find the upper of third quartile of the Predators: (omit the median)
What are the minimum and maximum values for Predators:
The 5-Number Summary and gives a measure of center and spread.
Now do the same for the non-predators:
Speed (mi/h) Predator (1=Y, 0=N30 130 170 130 039 140 025 045 042 132 020 048 040 050 111 035 012 040 0

5-Number Summary and Box and Whisker Plot
Use the 5-Number Summary to create a box and whisker plot.
When comparing two groups use the same scale and place box and whisker plots on top of each other.
Use the mammal speed data to compare wild mammals to non-wild mammals with box and whisker plots.

IQR: Interquartile Range The IQR is a measure of the spread of
the middle 50% of the data.
IQR=Q3-Q1
This can be use to determine if a value is an outlier. If the value is more than 1.5 times the IQR
from the nearest quartile. Outliers in a Boxplot.

Measure Spread around the Mean
Measuring Hand Span Activity Using a ruler, measure your hand span to
the nearest mm. Write your result on the board. Enter all data into calculator. Find the 5 Number Summary of the data. ▪ (1-var stats)▪ Create a box plot
Enter L1-mean into L2 Use 1-var stats to find the sum of this: x

Meaning of the sum of differences
Think about what subtracting the mean (x) from your data values does. It tells how far your hand span is from the
class average. ▪ + and your hand span is larger▪ - and your hand span is smaller
Now think about what summing all of your differences does. What was the result? Differences from the mean will always sum to be
Zero.

“Average” difference from mean Rapid Fire Example , Rapid Fire 2 A measure of the average difference from the
mean gives you a kind of level of consistency. Think of a target in an archery contest.
If you wanted to measure someone’s accuracy, how would you suggest doing it?

Standard Deviation (SD)
The standard deviation of a data set is typically used when the data is roughly normally distributed. It measures the “average” distance from the mean. This is a measure of spread. (how far are the arrows
spread apart) To calculate a SD, we must figure out a way to
find the average difference from the mean, but we know that the sum of the differences is always = zero. So we square the difference, then sum that, then divide
to find average sum of squares, then take the square root.

Variance
The SD squared: (s2) is called the variance.
It is not used as often, but is important to know what it is, in case it is a piece of information given.

1-var stats on the Calculator
You can get the SD from the calculator. Sx is the SD of a sample of data. σx is the SD of an entire population (we
will discuss the difference later) Note the other sums and values you
can get. Σx will give the sum of you list of values Σx2 will give the sum of squared values n is your total number of data values in
the list Then is your 5-Number Summary
