PPT-Calculating and Interpreting Standard Deviation

Objectives To calculate and interpret the standard deviation of a data set To compare the standard deviation of data sets Warmup Complete Problem 1 Questions 1 5 on pages 490 491 Use. 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 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 . 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. Standard Deviation and a Bell Shaped Curve. Bozeman Biology Video on Standard Deviation. Standard deviation measures the spread or the variation in the data. 68% of the individuals are within 1 standard deviation . 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 . : .

Unusual Values. . . Ruisheng. Zhao. OER – . www.helpyourmath.com. . What is the MEAN?. How do we find it?. The mean is the numerical average of the data set, and we use the mean to describe the data set with a single value that represents the center of the data. Many statistical analyses use the mean as a standard measure of the center of the distribution of the data.. 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.. The student will summarize, represent, and interpret data on a single count or measurement variable.. 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.. Obj. : The student will be able to . . 1) Calculate standard deviation. . 2) Calculate mean deviation. HWK: Worksheet. Vocab: 1) standard deviation – a measure of how spread out the numbers are. Find the standard deviation and variance of a set of values. . Apply standard deviation and variance. . Vocabulary. Standard deviation: A measure of how far the numbers in a data set deviate from the mean. Represented by the Greek letter Sigma .
