How many standard deviations is 16.50 from the mean?
How many standard deviations is 16.50 from the mean?
I have two data sets with the same number of values with means x1 and x2 and standard deviations of n1 and n2. How do you average means with standard deviations?
You can't average means with standard deviations. What are you trying to do with the two sets of data?
What does a z-score represent in terms of units?
standard deviations
How many standard deviations are 95 percent of measurements away from the mean?
95 percent of measurements are less than 2 standard deviations away from the mean, assuming a normal distribution.
When computing the sample variance the sum of squared deviations about the mean is used for what reason?
You want some measure of how the observations are spread about the mean. If you used the deviations their sum would be zero which would provide no useful information. You could use absolute deviations instead. The sum of squared deviations turns out to have some useful statistical properties including a relatively simple way of calculating it. For example, the Gaussian (or Normal) distribution is completely defined by its mean and variance.
When you speak your ear drum vibrates.this statement is true or false?
This statement is true. Our eardrums are moved by sound pressure deviations we measure as sound pressure level (SPL) in decibels.
How would you identify and report deviations and what is the significance of deviations?
identify and report deviations
What is the sum of the deviations from the mean?
The sum of standard deviations from the mean is the error.
When was Deviations Project created?
Deviations Project was created on 2007-02-20.
The sum of the deviations about the mean always equals what?
The sum of total deviations about the mean is the total variance. * * * * * No it is not - that is the sum of their SQUARES. The sum of the deviations is always zero.
What does normality mean in health and social care?
All minor deviations occurring with two standard deviations under the Gaussian curve are considered normal. Deviations occurring outside of two standard deviations are considered abnormal.
How do you find the sum of squared deviations in a set of numbers?
It would be useful to know what the deviations were from.
How many standard deviations is 16.50 from the mean?
How many standard deviations is 16.50 from the mean?
Can the standard deviation or variance be negative?
No, a standard deviation or variance does not have a negative sign. The reason for this is that the deviations from the mean are squared in the formula. Deviations are squared to get rid of signs. In Absolute mean deviation, sum of the deviations is taken ignoring the signs, but there is no justification for doing so. (deviations are not squared here)
Which measure of central tendency will the sum of the deviations always be zero?
For which measure of central tendency will the sum of the deviations always be zero?
