Study Notes

Calculating Range and Dispersion

The formula for calculating the range is: Range = Maximum value - Minimum value
The sample standard deviation measures the spread or dispersion of a dataset from its mean.

Calculating Median

The formula for computing the median depends on whether the dataset has an odd or even number of values.

Skewness and Dispersion

Skewness is computed to measure the asymmetry of a dataset, revealing if it is more or less symmetrical around the mean.
Measures like variance and standard deviation help understand how values deviate from the average.
The sum of squared deviations helps calculate the variance of a dataset.

Interpreting Standard Deviation

A larger standard deviation indicates that the data points are more spread out from the average, implying higher dispersion.
