Question

Given the two Data Sets:

Data Set 1: 100 meter dash times the time that they ran 100 meters for professional athletes.

Data Set 2: 100 meter dash times for every student in a certain PE class.

1. How would the mean of the two sets compare?

A. The mean of the two sets are equal

B. The mean time of Data set 1 is greter than the mean of Data set 2.

C. The mean of Data set 1 is less than the mean of Data set 2.

D. It cannot be determined

2. Comparing the same data sets, how would you compare their Standard Deviation?

A. The standard deviation of the two sets are equal

B. The standard deviation of Data set 1 is greter than the mean of Data set 2.

C. The standard deviation of Data set 1 is less than the mean of Data set 2.

D. It cannot be determined

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
