Why is the mean described as being more powerful?
Because it encompasses all the data
What does it mean when distribution is symmetric?
Mean equals the Median
What does the Standard deviation show?
How spread out the values are.
Variance is root of SD
When can standard deviation and the mean not be used in data?
When the distribution is skewed
What is used in non-symmetric distribution?
Median and IQR
How much of the data is included in a ‘normal range’
95% data, (Multiply by 1.96 in a calculation)
What is needed to work out ND?
SD and Mean, therefore can create normal ranges
