In Statistics what is a quantity that measures the variation of a population or sample relative to its mean?
Inter-quartile range, other percentile ranges, mean absolute variation, variance, standard error, standard deviation are all possible measures.
What does it mean when the box of a box plot is small?
It means either that your horizontal scale is too small or that the Inter-Quartile Range (IQR) is small. A small IQR is an indication of relatively small variation between observations.
What does interquartile mean in math?
If a set of data are ordered by size, then the lower quartile is a value such that a quarter of the data are smaller than it. The upper quartile is a value such that a quarter of the data are larger than it. Interquartile means between the quartiles.
If you are given a box plot without any numbers on the number line what can you tell about the data used to make the plot?
You could tell whether or not the data were skewed but that is all. You could make no assessment about the central tendency (mean) or spread (range, inter-quartile range).
Is the interquartile range or IQR is found by subtracting the mean from the maximum value of a data set?
No. The IQR is found by finding the lower quartile, then the upper quartile. You then minus the lower quartile value from the upper quartile value (hence "interquartile"). This gives you the IQR.
What does IQR mean in math?
The interquartile range (IQR) is a measure of variability, based on dividing a data set into quartiles. Quartiles divide a rank-ordered data set into four equal parts.
What does 2 mean when the means 0?
It is not possible to answer without any information on the spread (range, inter-quartile range, mean absolute deviation, standard deviation or variance).
Which measure of variation is appropriate when using the mean and which is appropriate when using the median?
When using the mean: the variance or standard deviation. When using the median: the range or inter-quartile range.
What is a Measure of spread about the mean?
Standard error, standard deviation, variance, range, inter-quartile range as well as measures based on other percentiles.
What is numerical measures of dispersion?
There are many:Range,Inter-quartile range,Percentile rangesMean absolute deviation from the mean or medianVarianceStandard deviationStandardised deviation
Why do you multiply the interquartile range by 1.5 to find the outlier?
By definition a quarter of the observations are below the lower quartile and a quarter are above the upper quartile. In all, therefore, half the observations lie outside the interquartile range. Many of these will be more than the inter-quartile range (IQR) away from the median (or mean) and they cannot all be outliers. So you take a larger multiple (1.5 times) of the interquartile range as the boudary for outliers.
What is interqurtile range?
Not sure what you mean. Did you intend to ask about inter-quartile range? The question can be changed if you want. Just click "Improve" to the right of the question. Then, of course, delete this answer so you have a chance at getting the right answer.
What does IQR mean in mathematics?
It stands for the Inter-Quartile Range. Given a set of observations, put them in ascending order. The lower quartile (Q1) is the observation such that a quarter of the observations are smaller (and three quarters are at least as large). The upper quartile (Q3) is the observation such that a quarter are larger. [The middle one (Q2) is the median.] Then IQR = Q3 - Q1
What is the pattern of a variability within a data set called?
The range, inter-quartile range (IQR), mean absolute deviation [from the mean], variance and standard deviation are some of the many measures of variability.
What does lower quartile mean in math?
It means the bottom quarter, or bottom 25%
When comparing data between two different groupswhat do you do?
You make comparisons between their mean or median, their spread - as measured bu the inter-quartile range or standard deviation, their skewness, the underlying distributions.
In Statistics what is a quantity that measures the variation of a population or sample relative to its mean?
Inter-quartile range, other percentile ranges, mean absolute variation, variance, standard error, standard deviation are all possible measures.
