Sample Statistics, Population Parameters,and Point Estimators
If the measures are computed for data from a sample,
they are called sample statistics.
If the measures are computed for 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.
x The sample mean is the point estimator of the population mean m.
The mean provides a measure of central location.

Trimmed Mean
It is obtained by deleting a percentage of the smallest and largest values from a data set and then computing the mean of the remaining values. For example, the 5% trimmed mean is obtained by removing the smallest 5% and the largest 5% of the data values and then computing the mean of the remaining values.
Another measure, sometimes used when extreme values are present, is the trimmed mean.

Median
Whenever a data set has extreme values, the median is the preferred measure of central location.
The median of a data set is the value in the middle when the data items are arranged in ascending order.

Mode
The mode of a data set is the value that occurs with greatest frequency. The greatest frequency can occur at two or more different values. If the data have exactly two modes, the data are bimodal.
If the data have more than two modes, the data are multimodal.

Percentiles
A percentile provides information about how the data are spread over the interval from the smallest value to the largest value. 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.
21 21 Slide Slide
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 p th percentile is the value in the i th position.
If i is an integer, the p th percentile is the average of the values in positions i and i +1.

Interquartile Range
The interquartile range of a data set is the difference between 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 utilizes all the data.
Variance
It is based on the difference between the value of each observation (xi) and the mean ( for a sample, m for a population).
x
The variance is useful in comparing the variability of two or more variables.
37 37 Slide Slide
Variance
The variance is computed as follows:
The variance is the average of the squared differences between each data value and the mean.

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