It i your repoible to check it i correct or ot before uig it. 1 Decriptive Statitic 1.1 Cetral Tedecy 1. (Arithmetic) Mea: P N Populatio: = x i P N Sample: x = x i 2. Weighted mea:x w = P w ix i P w i 3. Media: The 0:5 ( + 1)th data. If i eve, the we take 0:5 ( + 1)th data directly If i odd, the we take mea of 0:5th ad (0:5) + 1th data 4. Mode: The mot frequet data. (However, o mode if every data oly appear oce.) 1.2 Diperio 1. Rage: Rage = X Larget X Smallet 2. Iterquartile Rage: IQR = Q 3 Q 1 where Q 3 = 0:75( + 1)th data ad Q 1 = 0:25( + 1)th data. If + 1 i multiple of 4, the we take 0:75( + 1)th data ad the 0:25( + 1)th data a Q 3 ad Q 1 : If + 1 i ot multiple of 4, the we have to iterpolate. 3. Variace: P N Populatio: 2 = (X i ) 2 N 1
