AP Statistics Semester One Review Part 1 Chapters 1-5 AP Statistics Topics Describing Data Producing Data Probability Statistical Inference Describing Data Ch 1: Describing Data: Graphically and Numerically Ch 2:The Normal Distributions Ch 3: Describing BiVariate Relationships Ch 4: More BiVariate Relationships Chapter 1: Describing Data Our Introductory Chapter taught us how to describe a set of data graphically and numerically. Our focus in this chapter was describing the Shape, Outliers, Center, and Spread of a dataset. Describing Data When starting any data analysis, you should first PLOT your data and describe what you see... Dotplot Stemplot Box-n-Whisker Plot Histogram Describe the SOCS After plotting the data, note the SOCS: Shape: Skewed, Mound, Uniform, Bimodal Outliers:Any “extreme” observations Center:Typical “representative” value Spread: Amount of variability Numeric Descriptions While a plot provides a nice visual description of a dataset, we often want a more detailed numeric summary of the center and spread. Measures of Center When describing the “center” of a set of data, we can use the mean or the median. x Mean:“Average” value x = n Median:“Center” value Q2 Measures of Variability When describing the “spread” of a set of data, we can use: Range: Max-Min InterQuartile Range: IQR=Q3-Q1 Standard Deviation: (x x )2
