    the expected returns, standard deviations, and coefficients of variations for the assets. For the expected returns we took the probability and multiplied that by the rate of return for each type of economy, and then added them all up. To get standard deviation you must first calculate the variance. For that we took the rate of return minus expected return, squared that difference, multiplied that by the probability, and then summed them up. The get the standard deviation we

The next variable we measured was the number of years in which each student has been attending the university and it varied from 1 to 5. A large majority of the students were in year 1 or 2, which skewed the data to the left. The average year was 1.58 with a standard deviation of 0.86 and the standard error of 0.03. For our third variable, we constructed a histogram for

    anonymous, except for the gender. With the data I collected, I did the standard deviation, scatter plot graphs, and correlation coefficient. Standard deviation is the diffusion of data. I used it because it tells you how widely spread your data is. It’s used when assessing data. To find the standard deviation, it’s necessary to first find the mean. Now we find how far each value is from the mean (the deviation). Then, square the deviations and find the mean of those values. I used a scatter plot graph

    the 22 students surveyed on miles with range of 68 the mean is 21.34, Median is 15, Mode is 2 and standard deviation is 3.87. By computing number of minutes’ drive to class, out of 22 student’s travelled with range of 65, mean is 33.86 which suggests most of students are living far from campus, median 32.5 and mode is 20 which suggest majority are living within 20 minutes’ drive.

    the reason for the relationship however that they do have common results. Some of the reasons correlation cannot prove anything is because of the limitations; these would be the lack of information about the correlation, sample size or the standard deviation. In our text it states “If the word correlation is broken down co-relation it is expresses what is meant: The characteristics are related and the evidence for the relationship is that they vary together, or co-vary.
