Study Notes
Statistical Symbols and Definitions
- Population mean is represented by the symbol µ.
- Variance is denoted by the variable s².
- The symbol for standard deviation of a population is σ.
Statistical Concepts
- The denominator in the mean-deviation formula is n, which represents the number of observations.
- A consistent statistical error resulting in results that are systematically too high or too low is termed as bias.
Calculations and Data Analysis
- The square root of variance is known as the standard deviation.
- If s² = 330, the calculated standard deviation is 18.2.
- A seafood company calculated the variance of horseshoe crabs caught per boat to be 702.7.
- The data regarding horseshoe crabs caught daily per boat has no mode.
- The range of the number of horseshoe crabs caught in this data is 79.
