Analysis of Data

Measures of Central Tendency Measures of Dispersion Skewness Kurtosis

Measure of central tendency (Averages) is the middle point and unique value that describes the entire data. Methods: 1.Arithmatic mean or mean 2.Median 3.Mode 4.Geometric Mean 5.Hormonic Mean

Mean:The mean of n observations is the ratio of sum of n observations to the total no of observations. Ungrouped data/ Raw data:
Sumofobservations Mean ! No.ofobservations

3)National Tire company holds reserve funds in short-term marketable securities. The ending daily balance (in million $) of the marketable securities account for 2-weeks is shown below: Week 1: 1.973 1.970 1.972 1.975 1.976 Week 2: 1.969 1.892 1.893 1.887 1.895 What was the average amount invested in marketable securities during a) the first week b) the second week c) the 2-week period d) An average balance over the 2-weeks of more than $1.970 millions would qualify National Tire company for higher interest rates. Does it qualify? e) If the answer to part (c) is less than $1.970 millions, by how much would the last days invested amount have to rise to qualify the company for the higher interest rates?

Merits:1.It is based on each and every observation of the data. 2.It is useful for performing statistical procedures such as comparing the means from several datasets. 3.It is unique Demerits:1.It is highly affected by extreme values 2.It is not suitable in case of open-end class intervals.

Ex:- Compute average for the following 2 , 8 , 9 , 11 Mean = (2+8+9+11)/4=30/4=7.5 Mean is not suitable

Median:Median is the value which separates the entire data into two parts. Raw data: 1.Arrange the data in an ascending or descending order of magnitude. 2.Compute [(n+1)/2]th term which gives the position of the median.

Calculating the Median from Grouped data:

Where L is the lower limit of the median class f is the frequency of the median class h is the width of the median class interval N is the total frequency m is the sum of all the class frequencies up to but not including the median class Median class is the cumulative frequency just greater than N/2.

1.Find the median 5 , 7, 4, 9, 5, 6, 2 Ans: 2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 9 n=7 i.e odd median=(7+1)/2=4th term=5 2.Find the median 8, 7, 9, 4, 8, 10, 9, 9, 3, 5 Ans: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10 n=10 even Median=(10+1)/2=5.5th term i.e median is the average of 5th and 6th terms=(8+8)/2=8

Merits: 1. Extreme values do not affect its value 2. Specially useful when data is skewed De-Merits: 1.It may not be representative of the data Ex: 1, 2, 10 2. It does not consider all the observations

Mode
The mode of a data set is the value that occurs with greatest frequency. The greatest frequency can occur at two or more different values. If the data have exactly two modes, the data are bimodal. If the data have more than two modes, the data are multimodal.

Measures of Variability
Range Interquartile Range Quartile Deviation Mean Deviation Variance Standard Deviation Coefficient of Variation

Range
The range of a data set is the difference between the largest and smallest data values. It is the simplest measure of variability. It is very sensitive to the smallest and largest data values.

Example: Apartment Rents

Range Range = largest value - smallest value Range = 615 - 425 = 190 425 440 450 465 480 510 575 430 440 450 470 485 515 575 430 440 450 470 490 525 580 435 445 450 472 490 525 590 435 445 450 475 490 525 600 435 445 460 475 500 535 600 435 445 460 475 500 549 600 435 445 460 480 500 550 600 440 450 465 480 500 570 615 440 450 465 480 510 570 615

Interquartile Range
The interquartile range of a data set is the difference between the third quartile and the first quartile. It overcomes the sensitivity to extreme data values.

 Interquartile Range 3rd Quartile (Q3) = 525 1st Quartile (Q1) = 445 Interquartile Range = Q3 - Q1 = 525 - 445 = 80

Variance
The variance is a measure of variability that utilizes all the data.

It is based on the difference between the value of each observation (xi) and the mean.

The variance is the average of the squared differences between each data value and the mean and usually denoted by 2 .
