Measure of Location
Aim (estimate)
Quantitative
Mean (X Bar) = EX/n
Median (X~) = (n+1/2) th observation
Median = (n/2)th observation+ (n/2+1)th observation//2
Qualitative
Mode (X^) = The most frequent Observation
Measure of Dispersion
Standard Deviation= σ = √ (∑ (X-X Bar)2 / N
Coefficient of Variation= SD*100/X bar
Confidence Interval = X bar - SD
Standard Error = SD/ n
Metric When It’s Measured
Standard Deviation To assess the variability of data points
around the mean within a sample or
population.
Standard Error To estimate the accuracy of a sample mean
in representing the population mean.
Coefficient of Variation To compare relative variability between data
sets with different units or scales.
Confidence Interval To estimate a range in which a population
parameter likely falls based on sample data and
confidence level.
