Measures of Central Tendency: + Avalue that represents a typical, or central, entry of a__ Qoson set + Most common measures of central tendency: e Mean, + Mode. Mean Xx ) + The_SQWOA __ofallthe data entries divided by the number of _@nkvi@Ss _. Median: The value that lies in the _(Y\t a dle of the data when the data set is ordered. + Measures the center of an ordered data set by dividing it into two £4 UO, parts, + Ifthe data set has an * odd number of entries: median is the middle data entry. even number of entries: median is the Mee. _ of the two middle data entries.

Do NOT use the mean as a “typical entry” if there exists one or more extreme outliers!

Accuracy and Consistency They mean slightly different things! Accuracy Accuracy is how close a measured value is to the actual (true) value. Consistency Consistency is how close the measured values are to each other. Smo\\ cone! Examples of Consistency and Accuracy: Low Accuracy ~ High Consistency ow Consistency High Consistency So, if you are playing soccer and you always hit the left goal post instead of scoring, then you are not accurate, but you are precise! How to Remember? + aCcurate is Correct (a bullseye). + pRecise (consistent) is Repeating (hitting the same spot, but maybe not the correct spot) (HINT: look for smaller range) Alg1 Example 1) Use the following boxplots to answer the questions.
