Document Summary

In descriptive statistics, we understand how to find the sample mean, standard deviation, variance, median of a variable. The average of all calculation is called the sample mean, this can be found by adding all the x values observed and dividing it by n (the number of observed values) For example, if the weight of 5 people is measured to be 53. 1, 56. 4, 90, 80, 49 then the sample mean or average weight of the population is the sum of 53. 1, 56. 4, 90, 80, 49 divided by 5. The deviation is the difference between a data point and its mean. The sum of the deviation has to be zero. To calculate the sample mean using r, input the values and then type mean(x) The sample median is the value of x observed that divides all the values of x arranged in increasing order to half. Arranging the values in increasing order is called order statistics.
