The document discusses variability and measures of variability. It defines variability as a quantitative measure of how spread out or clustered scores are in a distribution. The standard deviation is introduced as the most commonly used measure of variability, as it takes into account all scores in the distribution and provides the average distance of scores from the mean. Properties of the standard deviation are examined, such as how it does not change when a constant is added to all scores but does change when all scores are multiplied by a constant.
The document discusses various methods for describing data distributions numerically, including measures of center (mean, median), measures of spread (standard deviation, interquartile range), and graphical representations (boxplots). It explains how to calculate and interpret the mean, median, quartiles, five-number summary, standard deviation, and identifies outliers. Choosing an appropriate measure of center and spread depends on the symmetry of the distribution and presence of outliers. Changing the measurement units affects the calculated values but not the underlying shape of the distribution.

In such series the number of observations is small and there are two methods for
calculating the mean. The choice depends upon the size of observations in the series.
(I). When the observations are small in size, simply add them up and divide by the
number of observations.

9. Example. The average income of 10 lady doctors is Rs. 25000/- per month and that
of 20 male doctors is Rs. 35000/- per month. Calculate the weighted mean or
average income of all doctors.
→
For lady doctors X1 = Rs. 25000/- f1= 10
For male doctors X2 = Rs. 35000/- f2= 20
n = f1 + f2 = 10+20 =30
Total Income of lady doctors = X1 x f1 = ΣfX1 = 25000 x 10= 2,50,000
Total income of male doctors = X2 x f2 = ΣfX2 = 35000 x 20 =7,00,000
Total income of all doctors are= ΣfX = ΣfX1 + ΣfX2 =2,50,000 + 7,00,000=
9,50,000
The weighted mean income of all the doctors = ΣfX = 9,50,000 = Rs. 31,666.66

14. MEDIAN
It is the value of middle observation after
placing the observations in either ascending or
descending order.
Half the values lie above it and half below it.
15. UNGROUPED SERIES
• If the number of observations is
odd then median of the data will be
n+1/2th observation
• If even then median of the data will be
the average of n/2th and ( n/2 ) +1th
16. Example 1: To find the median of 4,5,7,2,1 [ODD].
Step 1: Count the total numbers given.
There are 5 elements or numbers in the
distribution.
Step 2: Arrange the numbers in ascending order.
1,2,4,5,7
Step 3: The total elements in the distribution (5) is
odd.
The middle position can be calculated using the
formula. (n+1)/2
So the middle position is (5+1)/2 = 6/2 = 3 th Value
The number at 3rd position is = Median = 4
17. Example 2 : To find the median of 5,7,2,1,6,4.
step 1 : count the total numbers given.
there are 6 numbers in the distribution.
step 2 :arrange the numbers in ascending
order.
1,2,4,5,6,7.
step 3 :the total numbers in the distribution is 6
(even).
so the average of two numbers which are
respectively in positions n/2th and (n/2)+1th will
be the median of the given data.
Median = (4+5)/2 = 4.5
18. Mode
• A measure of central tendency
• Value that occurs most often
• Not affected by extreme values
• There may be no mode or several modes
19. • To find the mode of 11,3,5,11,7,3,11
• Arrange the numbers in ascending order.
3,3,5,7,11,11,11
Mode = 11
20. Measures of variability of individual

The Range
• The range is defined as the difference between the largest
score in the set of data and the smallest score in the set of
data,
• XL - XS
• What is the range of the following data:
4 8 1 6 6 2 9 3 6 9
• The largest score (XL) is 9; the smallest score (XS) is 1; the range
is XL - XS = 9 - 1 = 8

31. • It is a measure used to compare relative variability
5. Coefficientof Variation:
32. Persons Mean Ht in Cm SD in Cm
Adults 160cm 10cm
Children 60cm 5cm
In two series of adults aged 21 years and children 3 months old following values were
obtained for height. Find which series shows greater variation?
CV = SD x 100
Mean
CV of adults = 10 x 100 = 6.25%
160
CV of children = 5 x 100 = 8.33%
60
Thus it is found that heights in children show greater variation than in
adults.
35. (a) The area between one standard deviation( SD) on either side of the
mean ( x ± l ϭ ) will include approximately 68% of the values in
the distribution
(b) The area between two standard deviations on either side of the
mean ( x ± 2 ϭ ) will cover most of the values, i.e., approximately 95
% of the values
(c) The area between three standard deviations on either side of the
mean ( x ± 3 ϭ) will include 99.7 % of the values.
• These limits on either side of the mean are called “confidence
limits
36. Properties of
STANDARD NORMAL CURVE
• Bell shaped & smooth curve
• Two tailed & symmetrical
• Tail doesn’t touch the base line
• Area under the curve is 1
• Mean = 0
• Standard deviation is =1
• Mean, Median, Mode coincide
• Two inflection- Convex at centre, convert to Concave while descending to periphery
• Perpendicular drawn from the point of inflection cut the base at 1 standard deviation
• Approximately 68%, 95%, 99% observations are included in the range of Mean +/- 1SD, 2 SD, 3 SD
respectively
• No portion of the curve lie below the X axis

37. Example
Q: 95% of students at school are between 1.1m and 1.7m tall.
Assuming this data is normally distributed calculate the mean
and standard deviation?
38. 95% is 2 standard deviations either side of the mean (a total of
4 standard deviations) so:
1 standard deviation = (1.7m-1.1m) / 4
= 0.6m / 4 = 0.15m
And this is the result:
The mean is halfway between 1.1m and 1.7m:
Mean = (1.1m + 1.7m) / 2
= 1.4m
39. Q: 68% of the marks in a test are between 51 and 64, Assuming this
data is normally distributed, what are the mean and standard
deviation?
Example
40. Answer:
The mean is halfway between 51 and 64:
Mean = (51 + 64)/2 = 57.5
68% is 1 standard deviation either side of the
mean (a total of 2 standard deviations)
so:
1 standard deviation = (64 - 51)/2 = 13/2 = 6.5
41. Example
Q: Average weight of baby at birth is 3.05 kg with SD of 0.39kg. If the
birth weights are normally distributed would you regard:
1.Weight of 4 kg as abnormal?
2. Weight of 2.5 kg as normal?
42. • Answer
Normal limits of weight will be within range of
Mean + 2 SD
= 3.05 + (2 x 0.39)
= 3.05 + 0.78
= 2.27 to 3.83
1. The wt of 4 kg lies outside the normal limits. So it is taken as
abnormal.
2. The wt. of 2.5 kg lies within the normal limits. So it is taken as
normal.
43. Standard normal deviate
The distance of a value (x) from the mean (X bar) of the
curve in units of standard deviation is called “relative
deviate or standard normal deviate” and usually denoted
by Z.
Z = Observation –Mean
Standard Deviation
44. Q: The pulse of a group of normal healthy
males was 72, with a standard deviation of 2.
What is the probability that a male chosen at
random would be found to have a pulse of 80
or more ?
