DESCRIPTIVE

STATISTICS
 Descriptive Statistics
• are statistics that quantitatively describe or
summarize features of a collection of information.
• aim to summarize a sample, rather than use the
data to learn about the population that the sample
of data is thought to represent.
 Arithmetic mean

• The arithmetic mean or average of a set of

numbers is the expected value. The mean is
calculated by adding up all the values, and then
dividing that sum by the number of values.
 Arithmetic mean
• Arithmetic mean can be used to calculate any
numerical data and it is always unique. It is obvious
that extreme values affect the mean. Also,
arithmetic mean ignores the degree of importance
in different categories of data.
 Median

• Median is defined as the middle item of all given

observations arranged in order. For ungrouped
data, the median is obvious. In case of the number
of measurements is even, the median is obtained
by taking the average of the middle.
 Mode

• The mode is the number that appears most

frequently in the set of data.
 Range
• Range is the difference between two extreme
values. The range is easy to calculate but cannot be
obtained if open ended grouped data are given.
• It's the difference between the largest and smallest
values.
 Standard Deviation
• It is another way to measure how close together
the elements are in a set of data.
• More accurate and detailed estimate of dispersion
because an outlier can greatly exaggerate the range
