the standard deviation.

Note
In comparing two sets of data, the larger the standard deviation, the more dispersion the distribution has
![Page 14: Section 3.2 Measures of Dispersion. Range = the difference between the largest value and smallest value range = (largest value) – (smallest value)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c1aa16/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Round-Off Rule* Carry one more decimal place
than is present in the original set of data.
![Page 15: Section 3.2 Measures of Dispersion. Range = the difference between the largest value and smallest value range = (largest value) – (smallest value)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c1aa16/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Comparing Variation in Different Populations
Coefficient of Variation (CV) = describes the standard deviation relative to the mean, and is given by the following formula:
%100mean
deviation standardCV

3. Find the coefficient of variation given the following:
standard deviation = 2
mean = 10
![Page 17: Section 3.2 Measures of Dispersion. Range = the difference between the largest value and smallest value range = (largest value) – (smallest value)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c1aa16/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Describing the Skewness of a Distribution
This generally lies between -3 and 3. The closer it is to -3, the more it is skewed left, the closer it is to +3, the more it is skewed right. 0 indicates symmetric.

Range Rule of ThumbStd Dev is approximately equal to
range / 4where range = (high value) – (low
value)
*min “usual” value = mean – 2 (std dev)
*max “usual” value = mean + 2 (std dev)
![Page 20: Section 3.2 Measures of Dispersion. Range = the difference between the largest value and smallest value range = (largest value) – (smallest value)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c1aa16/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Empirical (or 68-95-99.7) Rule for Data with a Bell-Shaped
Distribution* About 68% of all values fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean
* About 95% of all values fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean
* About 99.7% of all values fall within 3 standard deviations of the
mean.
![Page 21: Section 3.2 Measures of Dispersion. Range = the difference between the largest value and smallest value range = (largest value) – (smallest value)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c1aa16/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Using Empirical Rule to Determine Percentage
1. Find mean and std. dev. (may have to use 1-VARSTATS)
2. Map the mean and standard deviations to a blank bell graph
3. Add up the appropriate percentages you are wanting to find in a problem
![Page 23: Section 3.2 Measures of Dispersion. Range = the difference between the largest value and smallest value range = (largest value) – (smallest value)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c1aa16/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
5. Given the mean = 20 and standard deviation is 2, use the empirical rule to find
the following:
a) Determine the percentage that falls between 18 and 24, inclusive
b) Determine the percentage that is greater than or equal to 22
c) Determine the percentage that is less than or equal to 16 and greater than or equal to 24
![Page 24: Section 3.2 Measures of Dispersion. Range = the difference between the largest value and smallest value range = (largest value) – (smallest value)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c1aa16/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Note
Finding Actual Percentage in a Range with Raw Data:
1.Count how many are in the range (lets say this is x)
2.Count how many there are total (lets say this is n)
3.Actual Percentage = (x / n) times 100
![Page 25: Section 3.2 Measures of Dispersion. Range = the difference between the largest value and smallest value range = (largest value) – (smallest value)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c1aa16/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Chebyshev’s TheoremThe proportion of any set of data lying within K standard deviations
of the mean is always at least:
2
11K
![Page 26: Section 3.2 Measures of Dispersion. Range = the difference between the largest value and smallest value range = (largest value) – (smallest value)](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c1aa16/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Chebyshev’s Theorem* At least ¾ or (75%) of all values lie within 2 standard
deviations of the mean* At least 8/9 (or 89%) of all values lie within 3 standard
deviations of the mean
