What is a statistical measurement that describes the variation of a data set called?

Standard Deviation


How are direct variation and joint variation related?

Both are variations of certain kinds of equations. X=kY is a direct variation since X varies directly as Y and k is the constant of variation. X=k/Y is an inverse variation where X varies inversly as Y and k is the constant of variation. Both of these variations are also functions.

How do you explain the analysis of variance assuming that your audience has not had a statistic class before?

The measurement of any statistical variable will vary from one observation to another. Some of this variation is systematic - due to variations in some other variable that "explains" these variations. There may be several such explanatory variables - acting in isolation or in conjunction with one another. Finally, there will be a residual variation which cannot be explained by any of these "explanatory" variables. The statistical technique called analysis of variance first calculates the total variation in the observations. The next step is to calculate what proportion of that variation can be "explained" by other variables, and finding the residual variation. A comparison of the explained variation with the residual variation is an indicator of whether or not the amount explained is statistically significant. The word "explain" is in quotes because there is not always a causal relationship. The causality may go in the opposite direction. Or the variables may be related to another variable that is not part of the analysis.

How is genetic variation related to a species chance of becoming extinct?

Little or no variation could lead to failure to adapt to changing conditions. Too much variation would prevent the species from passing on beneficial traits because they would change too rapidly.
