13 Definition 3.2 Median of a Data Set Arrange the data in increasing order. If the number of observations is odd, then the median is the observation exactly in the middle of the ordered list. If the number of observations is even, then the median is the mean of the two middle observations in the ordered list. In both cases, if we let n denote the number of observations, then the median is at position (n + 1) / 2 in the ordered list. Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 13

14 Definition 3.3 Mode of a Data Set Find the frequency of each value in the data set. If no value occurs more than once, then the data set has no mode. Otherwise, any value that occurs with the greatest frequency is a mode of the data set. Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 14

21 Definition 3.5 Range of a Data Set The range of a data set is given by the formula Range = Max Min, where Max and Min denote the maximum and minimum observations, respectively. Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 21

22 Definition 3.6 Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 22

23 Key Fact 3.1 Variation and the Standard Deviation The more variation that there is in a data set, the larger is its standard deviation. Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 23

24 Formula 3.1 numerator Σ(x i x) 2 = Σx i 2 (Σx i ) 2 /n Sample variance s 2 = Σ(x i x) 2 n 1 = Σx i 2 (Σx i ) 2 /n n 1 Sample standard deviation s = Σ(x i n 1 x) 2 = Σx i 2 (Σx i ) 2 /n n 1 Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 24

Recall: x = , s = out of the 60 observations, or 71.7%, lie within one standard deviation to either side of the mean. 57 out of the 60 observations, or 95%, lie within two standard deviations to either side of the mean. 60 out of the 60 observations, or 100%, lie within three standard deviations to either side of the mean.

38 Definition 3.7 Quartiles First, arrange the data in increasing order. Next, determine the median. Then, divide the (ordered) data set into two halves, a bottom half and a top half; if the number of observations is odd, include the median in both halves. The first quartile (Q 1 ) is the median of the bottom half of the data set. The second quartile (Q 2 ) is the median of the entire data set. The third quartile (Q 3 ) is the median of the top half of the data set. Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 38

39 Procedure 3.1 Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 39

40 Definition 3.8 Interquartile Range The interquartile range, or IQR, is the difference between the first and third quartiles; that is, IQR = Q 3 Q 1. Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 40

52 Definition 3.14 & 3.15 z-score For an observed value of a variable x, the corresponding value of the standardized variable z is called the z-score of the observation. The term standard score is often used instead of z-score. Copyright 2016, 2012, 2008 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 3, Slide 52
