The dot on 10
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Exactly, since an outlier is there, "median" is the best measure for center
median is robust to outliers as the outliers don't affect median at all.
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
ok so it would be median?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Yes
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
do you see any outliers here ?
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
Yes 2
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so use "inter quartile range" for spread
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
Would it be Median again?
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
oh

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
"median", "mean" measure "center
"mean absolute deviation". "interquartile range" measure variability
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
Ugh Im so confused
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
when you have outliers, use below :
1) median for center
2) interquartile range for variability
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
ok
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
THanks

OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
mean absolute deviation right?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
since you have outliers in the given bar chart, you would use "inter quartile range"
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
I got confused and Put in interquartile range
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
I got it wrong but right the second time
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
sorry :/

thats okay
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
so can you give me a Definition for dummy's of mean absolute deviation
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
mean absolute deviation
as the name says, it sees how much far away each data value is located from the "mean"
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
ok

Thanks
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
or is there something else
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
is the mean 160?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Correct
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
Ok
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
Next step?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
see how much far away each of the data point in given table from the mean
Join the QuestionCove community and study together with friends!

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
simply subtract each of the given data point from the mean
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
im confused
OpenStudy (tatumnolan):
what am I subtracting from 160?
