This document discusses statistics concepts including measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode), data collection and presentation methods (tables, charts, graphs), measures of spread (range, interquartile range, variance, standard deviation), and box and whisker plots. It provides examples of when to use the mean vs median vs mode based on the goal. It also discusses calculating quartiles, interquartile range, and representing data using a box and whisker plot.

MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
( common averages: mean, median, mode)
mean: regular meaning of "average
median: middle value
mode: most often
15. For a probability distribution, the mean is also called the
expected value of the random variable. For a data sample, the mean is
also called the average
16. Student: Which one is better: mean,
median or mode?
Mentor: It depends on your goals. I can
give you some examples to show you
why. Consider a company that has nine
employees with salaries of 35,000 a year,
and their supervisor makes 150,000 a
year. If you want to describe the typical
salary in the company, which statistics will
you use?
Student: I will use mode (35,000),
because it tells what salary most people
get.
17. Mentor: What if you are a recruiting officer for
the company that wants to make a good
impression on a prospective employee?
Student: The mean is (35,000*9 + 150,000)/10 =
46,500 I would probably say: "The average
salary in our company is 46,500" using mean.
Mentor: In each case, you have to decide for
yourself which statistics to use.
Student: It also helps to know which ones other
people are using!
