Statistics-101 Flashcards
What is the central tendency?
Central tendency is the measure to show where the data points are centered
What are the three measures of central tendency?
Mean, Median & Mode
What is the measure of Dispersion?
It shows the variability of data scattered
Should the central and measure of Dispersion both be required for better interpretation?
Yes
How the mean of data is represented?
x bar
How the mean and median is obtained?
The mean = sum of values/ Total no of values
Medain = First arrange the data is ascending or descending order , & if the no of values are odd then the observation at (n/2 +1 ) is the medain , *& if the no of values are even then the mean of (n/2)th and (n/2 + 1 )th is the median
Write a Programme to find the mean?
public static int findMean(int arr[]) {
if(arr.length == 0)
return 0;
int mean= 0; for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { mean= mean + arr[i]; } return mean/arr.length; }
What is meant by Statistics?
