Averages and spread: mean, median, mode, range and standard deviation

Three ways to describe a typical value, two ways to describe how spread out data is, and when to use each.

  • Mean: add the values and divide by how many there are.
  • Median: the middle value once the data is in order (the mean of the two middle values if the count is even).
  • Mode: the value that appears most often.
  • Range: largest value minus smallest value.

  1. There are 8 values adding to 40.
    xˉ=408=5\bar{x} = \frac{40}{8} = 5
  2. The middle two values are 4 and 5.
    median=4+52=4.5\text{median} = \frac{4 + 5}{2} = 4.5
  3. 4 appears most often; the range is 9 − 2.
    mode=4,range=7\text{mode} = 4,\quad \text{range} = 7

جواب: Mean 5, median 4.5, mode 4, range 7

Standard deviation

The standard deviation measures how far values typically are from the mean. Square each distance from the mean, average those squares (the variance), then take the square root.

σ=∑(xi−μ)2n\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \mu)^2}{n}}
For a sample, divide by n − 1 instead of n.

Standard deviation of the same data

Find the population standard deviation of 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7, 9.

  1. The squared distances from the mean 5 add up to 32.
    9+1+1+1+0+0+4+16=329 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 16 = 32
  2. Divide by 8 for the variance, then take the square root.
    σ2=328=4,σ=2\sigma^2 = \frac{32}{8} = 4,\quad \sigma = 2

جواب: 2
