Measures of Variability (Variance, Standard Deviation, Range, Mean Absolute Deviation)

  • Опубликовано: 15 янв 2014
  • An introduction to measures of variability. I discuss the range, mean absolute deviation, variance, and standard deviation, and work through a simple example of calculating these quantities. I then discuss interpreting the standard deviation, including a brief discussion of the empirical rule.
    In this video it is assumed that we are dealing with sample data, and not data representing the entire population. This will be the case the vast majority of the time in practice.
    The birth weight data is from random sample of 1000 males drawn from Table 7-2 (Live births, by birth weight and geography -- Males) of the Statistics Canada publication 84F0210X, available at \url{www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/84f0210x...}.

      You are welcome Keira. Thanks for the suggestion. I have a couple of videos on R (on a couple of specific topics). More R videos have always been part of the plan, but I'm a little tight on time these days. I'll try to get some up for the next offering. Best of luck on the test!

    how will standard deviation of a set of discrete data change
    -when a value that is equal to the mean is added to data
    -when a value less than one standard deviation from mean is added to data
    -when a value that is more than one standard deviation is added to data?

      A bit late to help, but maybe this comment will help others in the future. You subtract the n-1 first then divide.
