  3. Determine if the following examples are Normally Distributed, Positively Skewed, or Negatively Skewed.

  4. Place the following under negatively skewed, normally distributed, or positively skewed, or random? • The weight of potato chips in a snack bag. B) The sum of the digits of random 4-digit numbers? C) The number of D1’s that students in this class have gotten? • The weekly allowance of students E) Age of people on a cruise this week

  5. Which of the following best describes the ages of people on Earth? • Positively Skewed • Negatively Skewed • Normally Distributed [Default] [MC Any] [MC All]

  12. Where is the balance point for this data set? MEAN Sum of the distances below the mean 1+1+1+2 = 5 Sum of the distances above the mean 2 + 3 = 5 X X X X X X Taken from Virginia Department o f Education “Mean Balance Point”

  13. Where is the balance point for this data set? Move 2 Steps Move 2 Steps Move 2 Steps Move 2 Steps 4 is the Balance Point Taken from Virginia Department o f Education “Mean Balance Point” 14

  14. We can confirm this by calculating: 2 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 8 = 36 36 ÷ 9 = 4 The Mean is the Balance Point 15

  15. Where is the balance point for this data set? If we could “zoom in” on the space between 10 and 11, we could continue this process to arrive at a decimal value for the balance point. Move 1 Step The Balance Point is between 10 and 11 (closer to 10). Move 2 Steps Move 1 Step Move 2 Steps Taken from Virginia Department o f Education “Mean Balance Point” 16

  16. Place the 9 sticky notes as a group so that exactly 3 are ‘16’, and one is ’12’. Place the remaining five numbers so that the balance point is 16. Then find the sum of deviations from the center. • Place the 9 sticky notes as a group so that exactly 1 is ‘11’, two are ‘17’ and two are ’16’. None of the remaining ones have ’16’ Place the remaining four numbers so that the balance point is 16. Then find the sum of the deviations from the center.

  17. Variability: How far the data is spread out Standard deviation: Sx for a sample size (we’ll use) for the population.Way to measure the variability. Closer to zero is better! Zscore: How many standard deviations something is from the mean. The higher the absolute value of it, the more unique it is. Z Score= (X – mean)/ St. Dev

  18. Which of the following will have the highest variability? • [Heights of people in this room] • [Ages of people in this room] • [The number of countries that people have been to in this room?] [Default] [MC Any] [MC All] Variability: How close the numbers are together.

  19. Which would have a lower standard deviation? (Be prepared to explain): • [The heights of students in this class] • [The heights of students in this school] [Default] [MC Any] [MC All]

  20. Sum of Distances from Center: -2,-2,-2,-1,-1,0,1,3,4 = 0 Sum of Squares of distances: 4,4,4,1,1,0,1,9,16=40 from center: Average (with one less member) of the squares of the distance from the center: VARIANCE 40/8=5 Square root of the VARIANCE: 2.23 so the STANDARD DEVIATION (Sx) is 2.23 Now find the STANDARD DEVIATION of your Poster 21

  21. Calculator Method • To Find the Standard Deviation and Mean • 1) Put the numbers into STAT EDIT • 2) Do STAT CALC 1-VAR STATS. • The is the “mean” • The Sx is the standard deviation we will use • The n is the amount of data (good way of checking) • The ‘med’ is the median (scroll down) To find the % of people within a certain range: • NORMALCDF (lower value, upper value, mean, standard deviation) To find the percentile: The lower value is 0 • NORMALCDF (0, upper value, mean, standard deviation)

  27. Suppose on a teacher made test that a grade three standard deviations below the mean is a 72 and a grade that is one standard deviation above the mean is a 96. What is the mean and standard deviation?

  28. The following is the amount of black M&M’s in a bag: 12, 13,14, 15, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21,22,23,24,25 What percentage is above 22.6 black M&M’s (use the bell curve)? • 15.8 • 0.3

  29. Adult female Dalmatians weigh an average of 50 pounds with a standard deviation of 3.3 pounds. Adult female boxers weigh an average of 57.5 pounds with a standard deviation of 1.7 pounds. The Dalmatian weighs 45 pounds and the boxer weighs 52 pounds. Which dog is more underweight? Explain using z scores http://www.rossmanchance.com/applets/NormalCalcs/NormalCalculations.html

  30. One way to measure light bulbs is to measure the life span. A soft white bulb has a mean life of 700 hours and a standard deviation of 35 hours. A standard light bulb has a mean life of 675 hours and a standard deviation of 50 hours. In an experiment, both light bulbs lasted 750 hours. Which light bulb’s span was better? http://www.rossmanchance.com/applets/NormalCalcs/NormalCalculations.html

  31. Memory Game Dog, cat, monkey, pig, turtle, apple, melon, banana, orange, grape, desk, window, gradebook, pen, graph paper, Stove, oven, pan, sink, spatula, Shoes, tie, bracelet, necklace, boot Find the mean and standard deviation with your calculator Is it positively skewed, negatively skewed, or normally skewed? Find your percentile:

  32. Debate: • Side 1) You are trying to convince your teacher to always curve test grades to a standard deviation • Side 2) You are trying to convince your teacher to never curve test grades to a standard deviation

  33. Summarize the Mathematics A) Describe in words how to find the standard deviation. C) Which measures of variation (range, interquartile range, standard deviation) are resistant to outliers. Explain D) If a deviation of a data point from the mean is positive, what do you know about its value? What if the deviation is zero? E) What do you know about the sum of all the deviations of the mean? F) Suppose you have two sets of data with an equal sample size and mean. The first data set has a larger deviation than the second one. What can you conclude?

  34. Think back to the two overweight people shown on the first slide. How could we now determine which one is more overweight?
