Measures of Location
If the measures are computedfor data from a sample,
they are called sample statistics.
If the measures are computedfor data from a population,
they are called population parameters.
A sample statistic is referred toas the point estimator of the
corresponding population parameter.

Mean
� The mean of a data set is the average of all the data values.
� The sample mean is the point estimator of the population mean µ.

Median
Whenever a data set has extreme values, the medianis the preferred measure of central location.
A few extremely large incomes or property valuescan inflate the mean.
The median is the measure of location most oftenreported for annual income and property value data.
The median of a data set is the value in the middlewhen the data items are arranged in ascending order.

Mode
The mode of a data set is the value that occurs withgreatest frequency.The greatest frequency can occur at two or moredifferent values.If the data have exactly two modes, the data arebimodal.If the data have more than two modes, the data aremultimodal.

Percentiles
A percentile provides information about how thedata are spread over the interval from the smallestvalue to the largest value.Admission test scores for colleges and universitiesare frequently reported in terms of percentiles.
17Slide© 2005 Thomson/South-Western
� The pth percentile of a data set is a value such that at least p percent of the items take on this value or less and at least (100 - p) percent of the items take on this value or more.
Percentiles
18Slide© 2005 Thomson/South-Western
Percentiles
Arrange the data in ascending order.
Compute index i, the position of the pth percentile.
i = (p/100)n
If i is not an integer, round up. The pth percentileis the value in the ith position.
If i is an integer, the pth percentile is the averageof the values in positions i and i+1.

Measures of Variability
It is often desirable to consider measures of variability(dispersion), as well as measures of location.
For example, in choosing supplier A or supplier B wemight consider not only the average delivery time foreach, but also the variability in delivery time for each.

Range
The range of a data set is the difference between thelargest and smallest data values.It is the simplest measure of variability.It is very sensitive to the smallest and largest datavalues.

27Slide© 2005 Thomson/South-Western
Interquartile Range
The interquartile range of a data set is the differencebetween the third quartile and the first quartile.It is the range for the middle 50% of the data.
It overcomes the sensitivity to extreme data values.

The variance is a measure of variability that utilizesall the data.
Variance
It is based on the difference between the value ofeach observation (xi) and the mean ( for a sample,µ for a population).

Variance
The variance is computed as follows:
The variance is the average of the squareddifferences between each data value and the mean.

Standard Deviation
The standard deviation of a data set is the positivesquare root of the variance.
It is measured in the same units as the data, makingit more easily interpreted than the variance.

The standard deviation is computed as follows:
