Numerical Descriptions of Data
Section 3.1
Measures of Center
Mean

Add up all data values, then divide by the total number of data values.

Example
1+2+3+4+5
5
=3
ROUNDING RULE: round to one more decimal place than the highest number of
decimal places contained in the data
Weighted Mean

Multiply each data value by its “weight” then divide by the sum of the
weights. Think “per what?” to determine what the weight is.

Example:
Class
Hours
Weight

Calculator Directions

Press STAT

Press edit

In L1 insert data values. If you need to clear data, press up to highlight L1, press clear (not delete), and
press down.

Press 2nd quit (mode)

Press STAT

Arrow over to CALC

Press 1-Var Stats

On the home screen, press 2nd L1 (1)

Press enter

You will then see a list of items.

𝑥 = 𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛
𝑆𝑥 = 𝑠𝑎𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛
𝜎𝑥 = 𝑝𝑜𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛

To find the variance, you will square the standard deviation.

If you scroll down you will see the max, min, and median.
