Example calculation for identifying “MEAN” value for the given data

Find the mean value for antimicrobial activity experiment data

Zone Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone3 Zone 4 Zone 5 Zone 6 Zone 7

No.
Zone in 15 13 18 16 16 17 12
(mm)

Solution

To find mean

𝚺𝐗
x̅ =
N

Where,

X = Represents the values

ƩX = sum of all values
N = No: of values

ƩX = 15+13+18+16+16+17+12 = 107

N=7

15+13+18+16+14+17+12
Mean =
7
107
=
7

Mean = 15.28

Example calculation for identifying “MEDIAN” value for the given data

Find the median value for antimicrobial activity experiment data

Zone Zone Zone 2 Zone3 Zone 4 Zone 5 Zone 6 Zone 7

No. 1
Zone in 15 13 18 16 16 17 12
(mm)

Solution

To find mean

(n+1)th

n = No: of values

The median is the middle value

To calculate median, arrange the given numbers in ascending order

12, 13, 15, 16, 16, 17, 18

(7+1) 8
= = 4th (number)
2 2

Therefore,

4th number, so, the median is 16.

Median = 16

Example calculation for identifying “Mode” value for the given data

Find the mode value for antimicrobial activity experiment data

Zone Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone3 Zone 4 Zone 5 Zone 6 Zone 7

No.
Zone in 15 13 18 16 16 17 12
(mm)

Solution:

In the given sequence, the value which occurs more than one time and it should be
assumed as mode.

15, 13, 18, 16, 16, 17, 12

In the given sequence, the value ‘16’ occurs maximum number of times (i.e. two times).

Hence the Mode is = 16

Example calculation for identifying “RANGE” value for the given data

Find the range value for antimicrobial activity experiment data

Zone Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone3 Zone 4 Zone 5 Zone 6 Zone 7

No.
Zone in 15 13 18 16 16 17 12
(mm)

Range is the subtraction of smallest value from the largest value (of the given data)

12 is the smallest value in the given data

18 is the highest value in the given data

Range = 18 – 12 = 6

Range is 6

The standard deviation can be calculated using the following formula

SD =√ 𝛍)𝟐
𝚺(𝐗−
𝐧

μ – Represents population mean

Step 1:

To find the mean (μ) value of the given data

Sumof given values 15+13+18+16+16+17+12 107

μ = = = = 15.28
Total no of values 7 7

μ = 15.28

Step 2:

Subtract the mean value and with X value and square up the value to find

x x−μ2

15 (15-15.28)2 = 0.282 = 0.07

13 (13-15.28)2 = 2.282 = 5.19
18 (18-15.28)2 = 2.722 = 7.39
16 (16-15.28)2 = 0.722 = 0.51
16 (16-15.28)2 = 0.722 = 0.51
17 (17-15.28)2 = 1.722 = 2.95
12 (12-15.28)2 = 3.282 = 10.75

Step 3:

Add up all the squared values which we obtained in step 2

∑ (x- μ)2
0.07+5.19+7.39+0.51+0.51+2.95+10.75 = 27.37

Step 4:

Divide the sum of result from the step 3 by the total no: of data (n)

Where,

N=7

𝚺(𝐱− 𝛍)𝟐 𝟐𝟕.𝟑𝟕

= = 3.91

Step 5:

Finally, substitute the value in standard deviation formula

𝚺(X−μ)2
SD =√

= √3.91
The square of 3.91 = 1.97

Therefore the standard deviation of the given data is 1.97
