Outlier
A data measurement which is unusually large or small compared to the rest of the data.
Usually from:– Measurement or recording error– Measurement from a different population– A rare, chance event.

Advantages/Disadvantages Mean
• Disadvantages– is sensitive to outliers
• Advantages– always exists– very common– nice mathematical properties

Advantages/Disadvantages Median
• Disadvantages– does not take all data into account
• Advantages– always exists– easily calculated– not affected by outliers– nice mathematical properties

Advantages/Disadvantages Mode
• Disadvantages– does not always exist, there could be just one
of each data point– sometimes more than one
• Advantages– appropriate for qualitative data

Review
A data set is skewed if one tail of the distribution has more extreme observations than the other.

16
Range
The range of quantitative data is denoted R and is given by:
R = Maximum – Minimum
![Page 17: 1 Review Sections 2.1-2.4 Descriptive Statistics –Qualitative (Graphical) –Quantitative (Graphical) –Summation Notation –Qualitative (Numerical) Central](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f0c5503460f94c20294/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Range
The range of quantitative data is denoted R and is given by:
R = Maximum – Minimum
In the previous examples the first two graphs have a range of 5 and the third has a range of 7.

18
Range
R = Maximum – Minimum
Disadvantages: – Since the range uses only two values in the
sample it is very sensitive to outliers.– Give you no idea about how much data is in the
center of the data.

What else?
We want a measure which shows how far away most of the data points are from the mean.

20
What else?
We want a measure which shows how far away most of the data points are from the mean.
One option is to keep track of the average distance each point is from the mean.

Mean Deviation
The Mean Deviation is a measure of dispersion which calculates the distance between each data point and the mean, and then finds the average of these distances.

Mean Deviation
Advantages: The mean deviation takes into account all values in the sample.
Disadvantages: The absolute value signs are very cumbersome in mathematical equations.

More Standard DeviationLike the mean, we are also interested in the population variance (i.e. your sample is the whole population) and the population standard deviation.
The population variance and standard deviation are denoted σ and σ2 respectively.

Using your Calculator
• Change calculator to statistics mode. (SD if you have it)
• Enter in the data and then press the key, or data key.
• Keep entering data by pressing the key, or data key until complete.
• To obtain the summary data, find the key for the sample mean and the s key or n-1 key to display the sample standard deviation.

Example – Using Standard Deviation
Here are eight test scores from a previous Stats 201 class:
35, 59, 70, 73, 75, 81, 84, 86.
The mean and standard deviation are 70.4 and 16.7, respectively.

We wish to know if any of are data points are outliers. That is whether they don’t fit with the general trend of the rest of the data.

We wish to know if any of are data points are outliers. That is whether they don’t fit with the general trend of the rest of the data.
To find this we calculate the number of standard deviations each point is from the mean.

Example – Using Standard Deviation
To find this we calculate the number of standard deviations each point is from the mean.
To simplify things for now, work out which data points are within
a) one standard deviation from the mean i.e.
b) two standard deviations from the mean i.e.
c) three standard deviations from the mean i.e.
