PPT-Standard Deviation

Standard Deviation summarizes the amount each value deviates from the mean SD tells us how spread out the data items are in our data set If data is close together standard will . We can evaluate the variance of a set of data from the mean that is how far the observations deviate from the mean This deviation can be both positive and negative so we need to square these values to ensure ositive and negative values do not simply DESCRIPTION The formula for the standard deviation is EQ 221 while the formula for the weighted standard deviation is EQ 222 where w is the weight for the ith observation N is the number of nonzero weights and is the weighted mean of the observation Calculators with a statistics mode will find the stdev but in this class where data sets are typically sm all an approximation based on the range of the data is ade quate The range is the difference between the largest and the smal lest in a series ariance The ariance of a set of values which we denote by i de64257ned as where is the mean stands for each data value in turn and is the frequency with which data alue o ccurs Note that An alternative yet equivalent formula which is often easier to Normal distributions show up all over the place.. The standard normal distribution. The standard normal distribution is a . continuous distribution.. It has a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. 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.
