BIOL 570 1nd Edition Lecture 3 Outline of Last Lecture I. Displaying dataa. Bar charts, histograms, cumulative frequency distributions, contingency tables, grouped bar charts, multiple histograms, scatterplotsII. Descriptive statisticsa. Measures of location: mean, median, modeb. Measures of spread: range, variance, standard deviationOutline of Current Lecture I. Numerical data a. empirical ruleb. coefficient of variationc. interquartile range, box plots, outliersII. Categorical dataa. proportionsIII. Brief summary of variables, samples, and populationsIV. Properties of descriptive statisticsCurrent LectureVariance (s2): Standard deviation (SD, s): * has to be positive (can be zero), CANNOT be negativeThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
