Research Methods: Statistics

  • Descriptive statistics describes a set of data.
    • How many people have black hair in this room?
    • How many people play a musical instrument?

  • Measures of Central Tendency describe the center of a data set.
  • The measures of central tendency are the Mean, Median, and Mode.

  • The Mean or average is the sum of scores divided by the number of scores.
    • Sum of scores / Number of days = Mean
  • "Find the mean of coffee consumption per day."
    • Day 1: 1
    • Day 2: 4
    • Day 3: 5
    • Day 4: 2
    • Day 5: 3
  • Sum the scores:
    • 1+4+5+2+3=15
  • Divide the score by the number of days:
    • 15/5=3
  • "Mean or average is 3 cups / day"

Median is at the midpoint of a frequency distribution, such that there is an equal probability of falling above or below it

  • How to find the Median: Put all the numbers in numerical order.
    • If there is an odd number of scores, the median is the middle number.
    • If there is an even number of scores, the median will be the mean of the two central numbers.

  • "What is the median?"
    • 6, 2, 9, 4, 7, 3
  • Rearrange the numbers:
    • 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9
  • If there is an even number, find mean of middle two:
    • 4+6=10. 10/2=5. Five is the median.

  • The mean is prone to problems with outliers. Outliers are extreme scores that skew the mean. The median is sometimes a better measure of central tendency when there are outliers.
      • Salaries in a company:
      • Employee 1: $35,000
      • Employee 2: $45,000
      • Employee 3: $43, 000
      • Employee 4: $400,000
    • Mean: $130,750
    • Median: $44,000

  • The mode is the score that appears most frequently in a set of numbers.
    • 4, 5, 6, 7, 7, 7, 7, 8, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 3, 2, 4, 4
    • What is the mode? 7
  • There may be no mode if no value appears more than any other.
  • There may also be two modes (bimodal), three modes (trimodal), or four or more modes (multimodal).

Normal Distribution

  • A Normal distribution' is a function that represents the distribution of many random variables as a symmetrical bell-shaped graph.
  • Measures of Central Tendency are a part of a normal distribution.
  • The mean, median, and mode of a Standard Normal Distribution are 0

Normal Distribution, Measures of Central Tendency, and Skew.jpg


  • Positively skewed means that a distribution of scores includes an extreme score(s), which give the graph a long tail trailing to the right.
  • A negatively skewed distribution contains more high scores than low scores, but a few really low scores result in the graph having a 'long tail' to the left.
