Descriptive Statistics
Grouped vs Ungrouped Data

Ungrouped data: have not been summarized in any way are also called raw data Grouped data: have been organized into a frequency distribution
Raw Data: When data are collected in original form, they are called raw data.
The following are the scores on the first test of the statistics class in fall of 2004. 76 62 68 69 79 90 79 86 52 97 78 55 96 89 73 66 88 92 94 50 71 89 78 88 58 76 59 92 93 88 86 66 81 85 85 70 55 62 80 60 80 72 82 86 99 63 75 83 78 61

Class: Number of classes in the above table is 5. Class Limits: represent the smallest and largest data values in each class. Lower Class: the lowest number in each class. In above table 50 is the lower class limit of the first class, 60 is the lower class limit of the 2nd class, etc. Upper Class: the highest number in each class. In above table 59 is the upper class limit of the first class, 69 is the upper class limit of the 2nd class, etc. Class Width: for a class in a frequency distribution is found by subtracting the lower (or upper) class limit of one class minus the lower (or upper) class limit of the previous class. In above table the class width is 10.
Class Boundaries are used to separate the classes so that there are no gaps in the frequency
distribution. Class 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-99 Class Frequency Boundaries 49.5-59.5 6 59.5-69.5 69.5-79.5 79.5-89.5 89.5-99.5 9 12 15 8

Most Popular Graphs in Statistics

The most commonly used graphs in statistics are: 1. The Histogram 2. The Frequency Polygon. 3. The Cumulative Frequency Graph 4. The Bar Chart 5. Pie Chart 6. Pareto Charts 7. Dot Plot 8. Stem-Leaf 9. Time Series Graph
1. The Histogram
o Making decisions about a process, product, or procedure that could be improved after examining the variation (example: Should the school invest in a computer-based tutoring program for low achieving students in Algebra I after examining the grade distribution? Are more shafts being produced out of specifications that are too big rather than too small?) o Displaying easily the variation in the process (example: Which units are causing the most difficulty for students? Is the variation in a process due to parts that are too long or parts that are too short?)

5. Pie Chart
o A pie chart is a way of summarizing a set of categorical data or displaying the different values of a given variable (example: percentage distribution).
Pie charts usually show the component parts of a whole. Often you will see a segment of the drawing separated from the rest of the pie in order to emphasize an important piece of information

8. Stem-Leaf
o The Stem-and-Leaf Plot summarizes the shape of a set of data (the distribution) and provides extra detail regarding individual values. o They are usually used when there are large amounts of numbers to analyze. Series of scores on sports teams, series of temperatures or rainfall over a period of time, series of classroom test scores are examples of when Stem and Leaf Plots could be used.

Numerical measurements:

Statistic:: any value(s) or measure(s) obtained from a sample. Parameter:

any value(s) or measure(s) obtained from a specific population.
Measures of central tendency: are Mean, Median, and Mode,

Mean is defined to be the sum of the scores in the data set divided by the total number of scores.
o Sample Mean: is denoted by x , and it is defined by:
x=
x
i =1
, or simply
x=
x.
n
o Population Mean: is denoted by , and it is defined by:
x
i =1
, or simply =
x
.
Note: The sample mean, x is an unbiased estimate of the population mean, . Example1: Find the mean of 10, 7, 3, 12, 18.
x= 10 + 7 + 3 + 12 + 18 = 10 . 5
Example2: Find the mean of 10, 7, 3, 12, 18, 13, 17, 15, 25, 3
x= 10 + 7 + 3 + 12 + 18 + 13 + 17 + 15 + 25 + 30 150 = = 15 10 10
Example3: Find the mean of scores in the test#1, 2004 in data set in this chapter.
x=
76 + 62 + " + 78 + 61 = 76 . 8 50

Median: is defined to be the midpoint of the data set that is arranged from smallest to largest. Example4: Find the median of 10, 7, 3, 12, 15.
Solution: First we must sort the data set as follows: 3, 7, 10, 12, 15. The median is 10.
Example5: Find the median of 10, 7, 3, 12, 15, 20.

Solution: After we sort we get: 3, 7, 10, 12 , 15, 20. As we observe, there are 2 middle observations. So to find the median we average these 2 values, namely: Median=(10+12)/2 =11.
Example6: The median of scores in the test#1, 2004 in data is 78.50

Median = 78.50
Mode: is defined to be the value in the data set that occurs most frequently.
Example7A: Find the mode of 10, 7, 3, 12, 15, 3. Mode is 3. Example7B: Find the mode of 10, 7, 3, 10, 15, 3. Modes are 3 and 10. Example7C: Find the mode of 10, 7, 3, 10, 10, 3. Mode is 10. Example7D: Find the mode of 10, 7, 3, 10, 7, 3. There is no mode, since all values occur with same frequency Example7E: Find the mode of 10, 7, 3, 12, 15, 18. There is no mode, since no values occur more than once.

x=
Frequency 4 10 12 20 8 6
Weighted Average (Mean): The formula in above is also called weighted average or weighted
[ w .x ] w
where w is weight and x is the score.
Example12: Find the GPA of John who has the following courses with the corresponding units
and grades. English Math Spanish 5 units with the grade of A 3 units with the grade of F 2 units with the grade of D
Solution: In this problem, x will be the value of the grades and w is the number of units,
x=
[ w .x ] = [5.4] + [3.0] + [ 2.1] = 20 + 0 + 2 = 22 = 2.2 . 5+3+ 2 10 10 w
Example13: A teacher is teaching 3 classes: There are 30 students in the first Class with the
average of 70 on the final exam. The second class has 40 students with the average of 60 on the final exam. The 3rd class has 20 students with the average of 80 on the final exam. Find the weighted average of the three classes combined together. Solution: Let x be the average of and w be the number of students.
x=
[ w .x ] w
70( 30 ) + 60( 40 ) + 80( 20 ) 2100 + 2400 + 1600 6100 = = 67.8 30 + 40 + 20 90 90

Question 1. What will happen to the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation if we add
a fix number, c, to all values in the data set?
Answer. The mean, median, and mode will increase by c units, but the range, and standard
deviation will not change.
Question 2. What will happen to the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation if we
subtract a fix number, c, from all values in the data set?
Answer. The mean, median, and mode will decrease by c units, but the range, and standard
deviation will not change.
Question 3. What will happen to the mean, median, mode, range, and standard deviation if we
multiply a fix number, c, to all values in the data set?
Answer. The mean, median, and mode will be multiplied by c units, so does to the range, and

In general if Y = aX + b , then we have
Mean of Y = a. [Mean of X]+b or
y = ax + b
Standard deviation of Y = |a| [standard deviation of X], S y = a S X

Empirical Rule
If the distribution of a data is bell shape or normal, then
Approximately 68% of scores are one standard deviation away from the mean. They fall in the interval x 1s , x + 1s . Approximately 95% of scores are two standard deviation away from the mean. They fall in the interval x 2s , x + 2s . Approximately 99.7% of scores are two standard deviation away from the mean. They fall in the interval x 3s , x + 3s .
Example17. Suppose the IQ scores are normally distributed with the mean of = 100 and
standard deviation of = 15 . Then by the empirical rule
Approximately 68% of scores are in the interval 100-15, to100+15 or 85 to 115. Approximately 95% of scores are in the interval 100-2(15), to100+2(15) or 70 to 130. Approximately 99.7% of scores are in the interval 100-3(15), to100+3(15) or 55 to 145.

Coefficient of Variation
The coefficient of variation is defined to be the standard deviation divided by the mean. Coefficient of variation (CV) =
s . If x is 0 or close to 0, then this measure shall not be used. x
Normally this measure is used in the case we have 2 or more groups of data with different units.
Example18.
Class A Class B Class C Mean =129, and standard deviation= 11 Mean =150, and standard deviation= 25 Mean =60, and standard deviation= 15 CV=11/129=.085 or 8.5% CV=25/150=.167 or 16.7% CV=15/60 = .25 or 25.0%
The class C has the greatest relative variation.
Measures of Position
Standard Scores
z= xx or s z= x
where, x or is the mean s or is the standard deviation. This value, z, measures the deviation from the mean in number of standard deviation which is also has no unit.
Example19. Suppose John is taking 3 classes with the following scores. In which class has he
better score? Class A Class B Class C English test score = 145 Mean =129, and standard deviation= 11 Physics test score = 190 Mean =150, and standard deviation= 25 Statistics test score = 88 Mean =60, and standard deviation= 15 Z=(145-129)/11 =1.45 Z=(190-150)/25 = 1.60 Z=(88-60)/15=1.87
So his score in class C is higher relatively.

Percentiles
The percentile corresponding to a given score (X) is denoted by P and it is given by the following formula
P=
# of scores less than x .100 total number of scores
Example20. John has the score of 88 in a class of 20 students. Find the percentile rank of a his
score. 81, 65, 75, 76, 78, 62, 63, 65, 70, 90, 61, 75, 76, 79, 58, 88, 82, 95, 90, 67.
Solution: In any problem of finding percentile, we must sort the data set from smallest to largest. 58, 61, 62, 63, 65, 65, 67, 70, 75, 75 76, 76, 78, 79, 81, 82, 88, 90, 90, 95.
P=
# of scores less than x 16 .100 = .100 = 80 total number of scores 20
So johns score has 80th percentile, which means 80% of all scores are below 88.
Finding the Score Corresponding to a Given Percentile

Example21. In data set of example 20, find the score corresponding 12th percentile.
Solution: Step1: Make sure data is sorted
58, 61, 62, 63, 65, 65, 67, 70, 75, 75 76, 76, 78, 79, 81, 82, 88, 90, 90, 95
Step2: Compute the L = p% of n., where L is the location for the score.
In this example L=12%of 20=0.12(20)=2.4 or 3.
Step3: Go to the data set and pick the score at the 3rd position which is 62.
It is usually written as P12=62
31
Dr. Ghamsary
Chapter 2
Page 32
Note: If L is not a whole number, round up to the next whole number.
If L is a whole number, use the score as the average of Lth and (L+1)th location score.
Example22. In data set of example 20, find the score corresponding 40th percentile.
Step1: as before
58, 61, 62, 63, 65, 65, 67, 70, 75, 75 76, 76, 78, 79, 81, 82, 88, 90, 90, 95
Step2: L =40% of 20= 0.40(20)=8 which is a whole number so we are going to pick the average of 8th
and 9th scores.
Step3:
8th score is 70 9th score is 75 and their average is (70+75)/2=72.5. So P40=72.5.
Deciles: divide the data set into 10 groups.

D1=10th percentile which the same as P10 D2=20th percentile which the same as P20 . D9=90th percentile which the same as P90
Quartiles: divide the data set into 4 groups.

Q1=First quartile or 25th percentile which the same as P25 Q2=second quartile or 50th percentile which the same as P50 . This is also median Q3=third quartile or 75th percentile which the same as P75
Inter-Quartile Range (IQR): is the difference between 3rd and 1st quartiles and it is denoted by
IQR and it is defined by IQR = Q3 Q1.

Example23. In data set of example 20, find the score corresponding to

D2 Q1 Q3 IQR
Outlier: An outlier is an extremely high or an extremely low data value, To check for outlier we
compute Q1-1.5(IQR) and Q3+1.5(IQR), then if
The suspected score is below Q1-1.5(IQR) or The suspected score is above Q3+1.5(IQR)
Then the score is said to be an outlier.
Example24. Is there any outlier in the following data set?

Five commonly used Statistics: The five numbers in any data set that is used frequently are
Minimum, Q1, Q2, Q3, Maximum

Box plot or box-and-whisker plot: is another graphical representation of any data set. We
use the five commonly used statistics to graph the box plot. The box plot can provide answers to the following questions o Is a factor significant? o Does the location differ between subgroups? o Does the variation differ between subgroups? o Are there any outliers?
Example25. In data set of example 20, find the 5 common statistics.

58, 61, 62, 63, 65, 65, 67, 70, 75, 75 76, 76, 78, 79, 81, 82, 88, 90, 90, 95
1. Minimum: is 58 2. Q1: L= 25% of 20 =.25(20) = 5. Since this is a whole number we use the average of 5th and
observation. In above ordered data set we have 5th score is 65 6th score is 65 their average is also 65. SO Q1=65. 6th
3. Q2: L= 50% of 20 =0.50(20) =10. Again since this is a whole number we use the average of
and 11th observation. In above ordered data set we have 10th score is 75 11th score is 76 their average is (75+76)/2=75.5 SO Q2=75.5.
10th
4. Q3: L= 75% of 20 =0.75(20) =15. This is a whole number we use the average of 15th and 16th
observation. In above ordered data set we have 15th score is 81
34
16th score is 82

their average is (81+82)/2=81.5 SO Q3=81.5.
5. Maximum: is 95.
So the five statistics are
58, 65, 75.5, 81.5, and 95.

Statistic:: any value(s) or measure(s) obtained from a sample. Parameter:

Measures of central tendency: are Mean, Median, and Mode,

o Population Mean: is denoted by , and it is defined by:

Example5: Find the median of 10, 7, 3, 12, 15, 20.

Example6: The median of scores in the test#1, 2004 in data is 78.50

16 + 17 = 16.5 , since there are 2 middle observations 2

Example11A: Find the mean for the following group data

Example11B: Find the mean for the following group data

where w is weight and x is the score.

[ w .x ] = [5.4] + [3.0] + [ 2.1] = 20 + 0 + 2 = 22 = 2.2 . 5+3+ 2 10 10 w

70( 30 ) + 60( 40 ) + 80( 20 ) 2100 + 2400 + 1600 6100 = = 67.8 30 + 40 + 20 90 90

Standard deviation: is the positive square root of the variance.

o Variance: If we use the So x =

, first we need to find the sample mean x .

3 + 0 + 7 + 5 + 15 30 = = 6 , then we substitute in the above formula and we get 5 5

b3g + b6g + b1g + b1g + b9g =

128 = 32 , So the variance is s 2 = 32 . 4

But if we use the short cut formula

, first we need to find their sum,

x , and their sum of squares,

= 32 + 02 + 7 2 + 52 + 152 = 9 + 0 + 49 + 25 + 225 = 308

900 5 = 308 180 = 128 = 32 , which is exactly the 4 4 4

x : is the midpoint or class mark

n : is the number of data points

(54.5-76.5)2=484 (64.5-76.5) =144 (74.5-76.5) =4 (84.5-76.5) =64 (94.5-76.5) =324

2904 1296 48 960 2592

7800 = 159.18 , and hence the 50 1

standard deviation will be

If we use the short cut formula

, we need the following table.

In general if Y = aX + b , then we have

Mean of Y = a. [Mean of X]+b or

Standard deviation of Y = |a| [standard deviation of X], S y = a S X

The class C has the greatest relative variation.

So his score in class C is higher relatively.

# of scores less than x .100 total number of scores

# of scores less than x 16 .100 = .100 = 80 total number of scores 20

Finding the Score Corresponding to a Given Percentile

Note: If L is not a whole number, round up to the next whole number.

8th score is 70 9th score is 75 and their average is (70+75)/2=72.5. So P40=72.5.

Deciles: divide the data set into 10 groups.
