: Statistical Analysis

EXCEL EXERCISE #10:

1. Enter the data for URBAN (percent living in urban areas), MURDER (murders per
million residents), ROBBERY (robberies per million residents), POLICE (police
employees per 100,000 population), and REGION for the 50 states that are presented on
the attached page. Label the sheet DATA.

2. Copy the data in A1:B52 (STATE and MURDER) onto the same cells on Sheet2.
Perform the steps 3 through 13
22 below on Sheet2. Label the sheet UNIVARIATE.

Variance and Standard Deviation

3. Calculate the variance for MURDER by breaking down the formula Σ(Xi-Xbar)2/(N-1),
where Xbar is the mean, Xi is each case of the variables, and N is the number of cases.
Enter the following labels in the appropriate cells.
A54: Mean =
A55: N =
A57: Variance=
A58: Std Dev=
C2: (Xi-Xbar)
D2: (Xi-Xbar)2

4. Enter the following formulas.


B54: =average(b3:b52)
B55: =count(b3:b52)

5. Enter the following formula.


C3: =b3-$b$54

6. Copy the formula in cell C3 into cells C4 to C52.

7. Enter the following formula.


D3: =c3^2

8. Copy the formula in cell D3 into cells D4 to D52.

9. Enter the following formula.


D54: =sum(d3:d52)
This is the sum of the squared deviations, or the numerator for the variance equation in
step 3 above. (Note: Steps 5 and 6 could be accomplished with the function:
=sumproduct(c3:c52,c3:c52).)

10. Enter the following formula to calculate the variance for the variable MURDER.
B57: =d54/(b55-1)

11. The standard deviation is simply the square root of the variance which can be
calculated with the following formula.
B58: =sqrt(b57) 1
