  1. Summarizing and Presenting Data

  2. Statistics The scientific study of numerical data based upon variation in nature.

  3. Some Definitions • Observations • Datum/Data • Variable • Statistical Population • Sample

  4. Descriptive Statistics • Statistics of Location • Average (Mean) • Median • Mode • Statistics of Dispersion • Range • Standard Deviation

  5. Calculating an Average

  6. i Xi 1 2 2 3 3 5 4 8 5 10 n ∑Xi i=1 Calculating an Average = X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5 = 2 + 3 + 5 + 8 + 10 = 28

  7. i Xi 1 2 2 3 3 5 4 8 5 10 n = (∑Xi)/n X i=1 Calculating an Average = (X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5)/n = (2 + 3 + 5 + 8 + 10)/5 = 28/5 = 5.6

  23. Rules for Tables and Figures • Each figure or table must be identified by a figure or table reference number • Each figure or table must have a clear descriptive title. If the figure or table refers to biological specimens, then the scientific names of these specimens are generally referred to in the title

  24. Rules for Tables and Figures • In tables, column/row headings should clear identify the variable and its units of measure • In figures such as graphs, the axes should be clearly labeled and the units of measure indicated • In figures, such as diagrams or maps, the pertinent features should be clearly labeled

  25. Rules for Tables and Figures • Do not cram figures and graphs into a small space on a sheet of paper; try to fill up a whole sheet of paper • A general rule of thumb is that each figure/table should be able to stand alone without forcing the reader to read additional text to understand it
