What is statistics?What is statistics?
a branch of mathematics that provides techniques a branch of mathematics that provides techniques to analyze whether or not your data is significant to analyze whether or not your data is significant (meaningful)(meaningful)
Statistical applications are based on probability Statistical applications are based on probability statementsstatements
Nothing is “proved” with statisticsNothing is “proved” with statistics Statistics are reportedStatistics are reported Statistics report the probability that similar results Statistics report the probability that similar results

Mean – arithmetic average = Σx/n
Median – the halfway point
Mode – the most common answer

Mode and MedianMode and Median
Mode: most frequently seen value (if no Mode: most frequently seen value (if no numbers repeat then the mode = 0)numbers repeat then the mode = 0)
Median: the middle number Median: the middle number If you have an odd number of data then the If you have an odd number of data then the
median is the value in the middle of the setmedian is the value in the middle of the set If you have an even number of data then the If you have an even number of data then the
median is the average between the two median is the average between the two middle values in the set.middle values in the set.
Frequency Distribution Frequency Distribution
lists classes (or categories) of values, along lists classes (or categories) of values, along
with frequencies (or counts) of the number with frequencies (or counts) of the number
of values that fall into each classof values that fall into each class

AVERAGEAVERAGE

The sum of all the scores divided by the total number of scores.
Definitions MedianMedian
the middle value when the original the middle value when the original data values are arranged in order of data values are arranged in order of increasing (or decreasing) magnitudeincreasing (or decreasing) magnitude
not affected by an extreme value~
use class midpoint of classes for variable x
Mean from a Frequency Table
x = class midpoint
f = frequency
Σ f = n
x = f
Σ (x • f)Σ

Histogram-Frequency Distribution Histogram-Frequency Distribution ChartsCharts
This is called a “normal” curve or a bell curveThis is an “idealized” curve and is theoretical based on an infinite number derived from a sample
1) Statistics are useful for figuring out random noise from real effects
2) Numbers are not absolute, and they can be easily manipulated
3) Always scrutinize data closely, and draw your own conclusions.
4) 85% of all statistics are made up on the spot: the rest are all wrong
