Syllabus Statements• 1.1.1: State that error bars are graphical
representations of the variability of data• 1.1.2: calculate the mean and standard deviation of a
set of values• 1.1.3: State that the term standard deviation is used to
summarize the spread of values around the mean and that 68% of the values fall within one standard deviation of the mean
• 1.1.4: Explain how the standard deviation is useful for comparing the means and the spread of the data between two or more samples
• 1.1.5: deduce the significance of the difference between two sets of data using calculated values for t and appropriate tables
• 1.1.6: Explain that the existence of a correlation does not establish a causal relationship between two variables.

Error Bars
• Bars on a graph only show means and can be misleading
• Error bars show variability around the mean
• Can be used to show range, standard deviation or standard error

Given a set of data can you calculate mean and stdev?
• In calculator • Stat key• Edit and enter your
list(s)• Stat key again • Calc and 1-var stats
then specify your list• Which one is the
mean?• Which one is the
standard deviation?
• Use the following data as an example
• 170, 160, 150, 175, 180, 175, 190, 165
![Page 7: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• The mean is 170.63
• The standard deviation is 12.37 (use the s value)
![Page 8: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
So what is the Standard Deviation?
![Page 9: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Standard Deviation is just
• A numerical measure of the spread of the data around the mean
• The absolute number doesn’t mean a lot• Look at the number in relation to the mean• If you mean is 100 and your standard deviation
is 1 then its tiny• If your mean is 1.5 and your standard deviation
is 1 then that is pretty significant• Rule of thumb is if Sx/mean > .20 then its getting
up there
![Page 10: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
So by definition the Standard deviation marks off discrete intervals under a bell curve
• In a normal distribution (bell curve) remember the 68, 95, 99.7 RULE
• 68% of observations are within 1 stdev of the mean, 95% within 2 stdev, 99.7% within 3 stdev
• Mean of 18 stdev of 4.5 => 68% = 13.5-22.5 • Now can compare mean and spread of 2
distributionssmall stdev = values tightly cluster
around the mean (little variability)
large stdev = values spread out around the mean (large variability)

Using Standard Deviation to compare Variability around means
![Page 14: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Step 8: Does your data really show an effect?
• Statistics give power to your results
• Is your result just chance or is it caused by your Independent Variable (IV)?
• Statistics uses probability to determine how likely it is that your results are just random
• You should understand T-test, linear regression analysis
![Page 15: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Statistics: T-test
• Compares the means of two populations which are normally distributed, with sample size of at least 10.
• A way to tell if means of two groups are actually different from each other. (Or conversely looks at the amount of overlap between the two)
• Accounts for the mean and variability of the data
![Page 16: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• Two tailed unpaired T-test is expected
• Not expected to calculate T
• So while we usually say that if the p value is < .05 then there is a significant difference
• They want you to go from a T table as follows
![Page 17: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

•Is there an actual difference between the means?•Conduct T-test if p < 0.05 then there is an actualdifference, otherwise its just a chance event
![Page 19: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• So mean boys height was 71
• And mean girls height was 64
• And the T value was t = 0.082
• And the T critical value in the table for p=.05 was t=2.002using appropriate degrees of freedom
• So our t was too small meaning that the means are NOT significantly different
![Page 20: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Statistics: Linear Regression
• Is there a relationship between two variables that are measured in an experiment?
• Works with scatterplots with a line of best fit
e.g. Height and weight data, age and weight data
• Does change in one variable predict change in another?

•Does change in Length predict a change in Weight?•Is there a positive or negative correlation (slope)•r = correlation coefficient – measures the strength of the linear association between 2 quantitative variables
![Page 22: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Correlation
• df = number of points in scatterplot – 2 (x and y axis)
• Calculate r with equation or program
• Use table to determine the critical value for the number of points you are using
• r must exceed that number for a significant relationship (correlation) to be present
![Page 23: Statistical Analysis Topic – 1.1.1-1.1.6 Math skills requirements.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649eac5503460f94bb2006/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
But remember
• The existence of a correlation does not indicate causation
• So if people with bigger hands have bigger feet that does not mean that a change in hand size causes a change in foot size
• Rather they are both caused by something else…
