Describing Data: Numerical Measures GOALS 1.Calculate the arithmet ic mean, weighted mean, med ian, mode, and geometric mean. 2.Explain the characterist ics, uses, advantages, and d isadvantages of each measure of locat ion. 3.Ident ify the posit ion of the mean, med ian, and mode for both symmetric and skewed d istribut ions. GOALS 4.Compute and interpret the range, mean dev iat ion, variance, and standard dev iat ion. 5.Understand the characterist ics, uses, advantages, and d isadvantages of each measure of d ispersion. 6.Understand Chebyshev ’s theorem and the Emp irical Rule as they re late to a set of observat ions. Numerical Descript ive Measures Measures of Locat ion Measures of Dispersion Arithmet ic Mean Range Weighted Mean Mean Dev iat ion Med ian Variance Mode Standard Dev iat ion Geometric Mean Populat ion Mean For ungrouped data, the populat ion mean is the sum of all the populat ion values d iv ided by the total number of populat ion values: EXAMPLE – Populat ion Mean Sample Mean For ungrouped data, the sample mean is the sum of all the sample values d iv ided by the number of sample values: EXAMPLE – Sample Mean Propert ies of the Arithmet ic Mean 1.Every set of interval- leve l and rat io- leve l data has a mean. 2.A ll the values are inc luded in comput ing the mean. 3.The mean is unique. 4.The sum of the dev iat ions of each value from the mean is zero. Weighted Mean The weighted mean of a set of numbers X , X , ..., X , 1 2 n w ith correspond ing weights w , w , ...,w , is computed 1 2 n from the fo llow ing formula: EXAMPLE – Weighted Mean The Carter Construct ion Company pays
