Example: For the following data 10 , 12 , 17 , 18 , 8 .

(A) Calculate Mean , Median , Mode and Range ?
(B) Calculate Mean Deviation ?
(C) Calculate Standard deviation ?
(D) Calculate Coefficient of Variation and Interpretation?
Solution

 Value Of Median = 12
* Mode : There are no mode
* Range = Largest value – Smallest Value

Comment : Means the sample standard deviation is 33 . 46% of the value of sample mean .

z- score
- represent the number of standard deviation x is above or below the mean
- used to find the probability
- used to compare between two groups
- the average has always a z – score of zero

If z is negative ( - ) the value (x ) is below the mean ‫لو رمق سالب بتكون القميه حتت املتوسط‬
If z is positive ( + ) the value (x ) is above the mean ‫لو رمق موجب بتكون القميه فوق املتوسط‬
Z= ± 1 contains 68 % of data
Z= ± 2 contains 95 % of data
Z= ± 3 contains 99 % of data

 MEASURES OF SHAPE
 Symmetrical: The right half is a mirror image of the left half

 Skewness: Shows that the distribution lacks symmetry; used to denote the data is sparse at
one end, and piled at the other end
Absence of symmetry
Extreme values in one side of a distribution

Coefficient of Skewness (Sk):

Compares the mean and median in light of the magnitude to the standard deviation; Md. is
the median; Sk. is coefficient of skewness; σ is the Std Dev

If Sk < 0, negatively skewed (skewed to the left).

If Sk = 0, symmetric (not skewed).

If Sk > 0, positively skewed (skewed to the right).
