1. Finding the Mean & the Standard Deviation

2. Finding the mean & Standard Deviation Find the Mean and the Standard Deviation of We want to M CLR the calculator to Clear its Memory 6,5,5,4,5,5,6,5 and 4

3. Finding the mean & Standard Deviation Find the Mean and the Standard Deviation of 6,5,5,4,5,5,6,5 and 4 We want to M CLR the calculator to Clear its Memory

4. Finding the mean & Standard Deviation Find the Mean and the Standard Deviation of 6,5,5,4,5,5,6,5 and 4 We want the calculator in STATS mode

5. Finding the mean & Standard Deviation Find the Mean and the Standard Deviation of 6,5,5,4,5,5,6,5 and 4 We want to find Single Variable Statistics choose SD

6. Finding the mean & Standard Deviation Find the Mean and the Standard Deviation of 6,5,5,4,5,5,6,5 and 4 We enter each term pressing DATA after each one

7. Finding the mean & Standard Deviation Find the Mean and the Standard Deviation of 6,5,5,4,5,5,6,5 and 4

8. Finding the mean & Standard Deviation Find the Mean and the Standard Deviation of 6,5,5,4,5,5,6,5 and 4 We want to find The Mean of our Variable ? ? = 5 ?

9. Finding the mean & Standard Deviation Find the Mean and the Standard Deviation of 6,5,5,4,5,5,6,5 and 4 We want the standard Deviation x The Standard Deviation = 0.67 Its in Green so press ALPHA FIRST

10. E.g 1 The frequency table of the monthly salaries of 20 people is shown below. salary(in ) 3500 4000 4200 4300 frequency 5 8 5 2 a) Calculate the mean of the salaries of the 20 people. b) Calculate the standard deviation of the salaries of the 20 people.

11. E.g 2. The following table shows the grouped data, in classes, for the heights of 50 people. height (in cm) - classes 120 ? < 130 130 ? < 140 140 ? < 150 150 ? < 160 160 ? < 170 frequency 2 5 25 10 8 a) Calculate the mean of the salaries of the 20 people. b) Calculate the standard deviation of the salaries of the 20 people

12. E.g3. Consider the following three data sets A, B and C. A = {9,10,11,7,13} B = {10,10,10,10,10} C = {1,1,10,19,19} a) Calculate the mean of each data set. b) Calculate the standard deviation of each data set. c) Which set has the largest standard deviation? d) Is it possible to answer question c) without calculations of the standard deviation?

13. E.g 4.A given data set has a mean and a standard deviation . a) What are the new values of the mean and the standard deviation if the same constant k is added to each data value in the given set? Explain. b) What are the new values of the mean and the standard deviation if each data value of the set is multiplied by the same constant k? Explain. E.g 5 If the standard deviation of a given data set is equal to zero, what can we say about the data values included in the given data set?
