Interpretation of summary statistics A random sample of people attended a

recent soccer match. The summary statistics (Excel output) about their ages is here below:

What is the sample size?
What is the mean age?
What is the median?
What shape does the distribution of ages
have? (symmetric or non-symmetric)
What is the measure/s for spread in the data?
Is this a large spread?
What is the Coefficient of variation for
this data?

Deviations from the normal distribution - Kurtosis

A distribution with positive kurtosis

is pointy and a distribution with a negative kurtosis is flatter than a normal distribution

Positively and negatively skewed
Positive skewed is when the distribution is

skewed to the right
Negative skewed is when the distribution is skewed to the left

Symmetric distribution - Empirical rule Knowing the mean and the standard

Symmetric distribution - Empirical rule
Knowing the mean and the standard

deviation of a data set we can extract a lot of information about the location of our data.
The information depends on the shape of the histogram (symmetric, skewed, etc.).
If the histogram is symmetric or bell-shaped, we can use the Empirical rule.

of 1’200 hours and a standard deviation of 50 hours.

Interpretation of the Empirical rule: Lightbulb lifetime example If the shape

Interpretation of the Empirical rule: Lightbulb lifetime example
If the shape of

the distribution is normal, then we can conclude :
That approximately 68% of the batteries will last between 1’150 and 1’250 hours
That approximately 95% of the batteries will last between 1’100 and 1’300 hours and
That 99.7% (almost all batteries) will last between 1’050 and 1’350 hours.
It would be very unusual for a battery to loose it’s energy in ex. 600 hours or 1’600 hours. Such values are possible, but not very likely. Their lifetimes would be considered to be outliers

Random experiment
In statistics a random experiment is a process that

generates two or more possible, well defined outcomes. However, we do not know which of the outcomes will occur next.
Examples: Experimental outcomes:
Tossing a coin Head, tail
Throwing a die 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
The outcome of a football match win – lose - equalize – game cancelled

All possible experimental outcomes constitute the sample space A sample space

All possible experimental outcomes constitute the sample space


A sample

space (S) of an experiment is a list of all possible outcomes.
The outcomes must be collectively exhaustive and mutually exclusive.

Sample space, S - Examples

Random experiment: Flip a coin
Possible outcomes:

Head or tail
The sample space: S= {head, tail}
There are no other possible outcomes, therefore they are collectively exhaustive.
When head occurs, tail cannot occur – meaning the outcomes are mutually exclusive.
The sample points in this example are head and tail.

There are no other possible outcomes, therefore they are collectively exhaustive.
When one of the outcomes occur, no other outcome can occur, therefore they are mutually exclusive.
The sample points are the individual outcomes of the sample space, S = {AA, BA, BB, CB, CC, DC, DD, FD, FF, VF}.

An individual outcome of a sample space is called a

simple event.
An event is a collection or set of one or more simple events in a sample space.

experiment: Throw a dice (Turkish: zar).
Possible outcomes, sample space, S is: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
We can define the event “toss only even numbers”. Let A be the event «toss only
even numbers»:
We use the letter A to denote the event: A: {2, 4, 6}
If the experimental outcome are 2, 4, or 6, we would say that the
event A has occurred.

Possible outcomes (Sample space): Numbers between 0 and 100
We can define an event, «achieve an A», as the set of numbers that
lie between 80 and 100. Let A be the event «achieve an A»:
A = (80, 81, 82 …….98, 99,100)
If the outcome is a number between 80 and 100, we would say that the event A has occurred.

Intersection of Events – If A and B are two

events in a sample space S, then the intersection, A ∩ B, is the set of all outcomes in S that belong to both A and B. We also call this a joint event.
They are not mutually exclusive since they have values in common

A and B are Mutually Exclusive Events if

they have no basic outcomes in common
i.e., the set A ∩ B is empty, indicating that A ∩ B have no values
in common
