Statistics: Mean, Range, and Deviation

This video tutorial explains how to find the range and mean deviation of a data set. It begins with an introduction to the concepts, followed by a step-by-step guide to calculating the range using a simple example. The video then explains the mean deviation, its formula, and demonstrates how to calculate it using the same data set. The tutorial concludes with a call to action for viewers to subscribe and engage with the content.

What is the range in statistics?

• The sum of all values

• The product of all values

• The difference between the highest and lowest values

• The average of all values

In the given example, what is the range of the data set 5, 8, 4, 5, 7?

• 3

• 5

• 6

• 4

What is the mean deviation?

• The product of all values

• The average of the absolute differences between each value and the mean

• The sum of all values

• The difference between the highest and lowest values

How do you find the arithmetic mean of a data set?

• Find the median value

• Multiply all values together

• Subtract the smallest value from the largest value

• Sum all values and divide by the number of values

What is the arithmetic mean of the data set 5, 8, 4, 5, 7?
