Descriptive Statistics Training Module

This document summarizes a training program on descriptive statistics that took place from May 14-18, 2007. It covered measures of central tendency like mean, median and mode. It also discussed measures of variation such as range, interquartile range, mean absolute deviation, variance and standard deviation. The training used examples and Microsoft Excel functions to demonstrate calculating these descriptive statistics and their application to understanding data behavior and characteristics.

Module 2
Piles of raw data, by themselves, may
neither be interesting nor informative.
However, when presented in summary
form, they may be much more
meaningful to us.
Module Objectives

Describe data characteristics by computing


measures of location and central tendency
Calculate measures of dispersion to obtain a
clearer picture of the data behavior
Provide graphical representation of the data
behavior

Average (or mean) the sum of the


data divided by the number of data
Median the middle observation
when the data set is sorted (in either
increasing or decreasing order)

To compute for standard deviation


1. compute the sample mean, i.e. sum the

values in the first column and divide by


the number of items thus yielding
2. subtract the sample mean from each of
the items (yielding the deviations from
the average): (2nd column in the table)
3. square the deviations from the average
(2nd column): (3rd column in the table)

35

2.5. Variance & SD: Example

To compute for standard deviation


4. sum the values in the third column and

divide by one less than the number of


data, thus yielding s2 = 7722/4 = 1930.5
5. take the square root of the result from (4):
s = 43.937

36

2.5. Variance & SD in Excel


standard deviation = STDEV(A2:A6)
= s = 43.397
According to Chebychevs Inequality,
we may expect at least of the data
to be within the interval from 12(43.397) = -86.87 up to
1+2(43.397) = 88.87. The
Chebychev bound may be quite
conservative. In fact, here, all the
data are within this interval

Distributions of incomes (as in the

skewed to the right due to
presence of a few high figures.
Data pertaining to scores in an

by a bell-shaped curve).

2.

Human Development Index (HDI) is a


proxy measure of economic development.
It is anchored on the quality of life,
largely different from an economic growth
perspective as typically measured by
gross national product and gross
domestic product. The higher the value
of HDI in an area, the higher is the quality
of life of the people living in this area.
Using data from the succeeding table,
determine the lower and upper quartiles
and the median. Solve also for the
midhinge and the trimean.

According to the succeeding table, there


were 3.1 million unemployed Filipinos in
2000, most of whom were male.
Considering the variability of data, find out
which between the sexes is more
homogenous by solving for the coefficient
of variation. Among the three major
islands (viz., Luzon, Visayas, and
Mindanao), which is the least scattered?
(Note: Luzon is composed of Regions 1 to
5, CAR and NCR, Visayas consists of
Regions 6,7 and 8 while Mindanao is
composed of Regions 9 to 13 and ARMM).
