Measures of Central Tendency and Dispersion/Variability
Massive amounts of data are collected, and in order to convey it
meaningfully, it must be summarized. The bulkiness of the data can be decreased by organizing it into a frequency table or histogram.[1] Frequency distribution divides the massive amount of data into a few understandable categories. Data collected can alternatively be summarized as a single index/value that represents the complete data set. These indicators may also aid in data comparability. Central Tendency measures provide a summary measure that seeks to summarize an entire set of data with a single value that represents the middle or center of its distribution. The mean, median, and mode are the three primary measurements of central tendency. When data is properly distributed, the mean, median, and mode should all be similar and effective in displaying the most common value of a data collection. When assessing measures of central tendency, it is critical to consider the dispersion of a data set. Variability Measures A measure of variance describes how spread out or scattered a set of data is. It is also known as dispersion measures or spread measures. There are three types of variation measures: range, variance, and standard deviation. The range of a distribution is the true upper limit minus the true lower limit. In terms of visuals, the Range = Highest value – Lowest value. The range for this piece of data in the sample we were given is 8. This is because the sample's greatest value was 8, and its lowest value was 0. If I enter the data set's numbers into the formula, range = 8-0. We get an answer of 8. We get an answer of 8. The interquartile range is the distance between the end of the first and beginning of the third quartiles of a distribution. The IQR is calculated using the formula IQR = (QU-QL). Quartiles are the points in a distribution that correspond to the first quarter of the data set, the first half of the data set, and the top quarter of the data set. Having stated that, you must first determine the quartiles before determining the interquartile range. Our quartiles in the provided sample are as follows: QL (lower quartile) = 0.75, QM (median) = 2, and QU (upper quartile) = 3.5. The next step was to enter these figures into the IQR formula. IQR = (3.5 –0.75), resulting in an interquartile range of 2.75. The variance is a statistic that measures a distribution's variability as the average squared deviation of each data point from the mean of all data points. The variance formula is 2 = (Xi - X) 2 / N. (Stat Treck, 2015). This formula states that each data point should be subtracted from the mean, then squared, then summed, and then divided by N, which represents the total number of data points (Bachman & Schutt, 2014). The mean for the provided sample is 2.5. Now, I'm not constructing a table for the purpose of reading time, but the difference came to 5.45.
