PDF-Chapter Average and standard deviation Context

2 Average vs median Average. Let’s start with an example. I divided the class into 2 teams, A and B. Coincidentally, the quiz average for team A is the same as team B, 81.5. So we expect a graph of their scores to be about the same, right?. Let’s start with an example. I divided the class into 2 teams, A and B. Coincidentally, the quiz average for team A is the same as team B, 81.5. So we expect a graph of their scores to be about the same, right?. The standard deviation is a measure of how precise the average is, that is, how well the individual numbers agree with each other. It is a measure of a type of error called random error the kind First center (expected value). Now - spread. 4.2 (cont.) Standard Deviation of a Discrete Random Variable. Measures how “spread out” the random variable is. Summarizing data and probability. Data. Comparing two different results. You can do this with your tests. How well did you go?. Tim wants to know if . is hard study has paid . off. . He recently completed two math tests.. This is what I told him. Standard Deviation. &. The Bell Curve. Standard Deviation. 1st find the . variance. for a set of data. Variance is the average squared deviation from the mean of a set of data. Computing the Variance . How . can it be that mathematics, being after all a product of human thought independent of experience, is so admirably adapted to the objects . of reality. Albert Einstein. Some parts of these slides were prepared based on . Intro to Statistics. What is Normal Distribution?. Modeled by a Bell-shaped curve.. Symmetric about the mean.. Mean (average) and the Median (middle #) are the same number. Or at least very close!!. Can look tall and skinny, short and wide or somewhere in the middle. . Algebra 1B Lesson 42. Instructional material 2. Standard Deviation. Standard Deviation . is a number that tells us how a value in the data set differs from the mean. It also tells us how spread out the numbers are. The bigger the standard deviation, the more widespread the data is.. Analyze the spread of data.. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. In addition to level 3.0 and above and beyond what was taught in class,  the student may:. · Make connection with other concepts in math. · Make connection with other content areas.. Standard Deviation. Standard Deviation – measure . how spread out the data is from the mean. Lower standard deviation:. Data is . closer to the mean. Greater likelihood that the independent variable is causing the changes in the dependent variable. Analyze the spread of data.. 4. 3. 2. 1. 0. In addition to level 3.0 and above and beyond what was taught in class,  the student may:. · Make connection with other concepts in math. · Make connection with other content areas.. 2. If Mark is in the 29. th. percentile for ACT and the average score is 22 with a standard deviation of 2.23. What score did Mark receive? . Statistics Review.
