    Describing Distributions with Numbers To Describe the Center (the C in SOCS) we use mean and median. The Mean: x (lower case letter used!) • The average of a set of observations. • If the n observations are x1, x 2 ,....., x n , their mean is x+ x +..... + x ∑ xi x = 1 2 n x = n or in more compact notation n • Sensitive to the influence of a few extreme observations . • A skewed distribution will pull the mean toward its long tail. • Not a resistant measure of center . • For example: Which way is this data skewed? Where is the mean likely to be? The Median : the midpoint of the data such that half of the observations are smaller and half are larger Do you think that the median is more or less resistant than the mean? To find the median: 1. Arrange all observation in order of size, from smallest to largest. 2. if n is odd: median = center observation 3. if n is even: median = the average of the two center observations Example: Find the mean and the median of the following data sets. 1. 3 5 6 6 8 10 11 2. 18 22 22 23 24 26 27 27 Mean vs. Median • What is an example of a data sample that the median gives you more information than the mean? • Symmetrical distribution: mean = median. • Skewed distribution: the mean is farther out in the long tail than is the median. (Extreme data points pull the mean toward them and the median is more resistant). • If you are looking at the age of the students in this classroom would you use mean or median? What if you also included the teacher? To Describe the Spread (the S in SOCS) we use the quartiles and the variance.

This is the sixteenth year of the Annual in the book format, and we welcome the talents of Mark “Boomer” Bloom to our staff. This year’s book has the features you’re accustomed to reading, and this year each team writ- eup includes a player we’ve designated as The Franchise. Some are current players, while others are from the team’s past . sometimes when the team was in a different place. We imagine that this will lead to some interesting discussions. We also feature entertaining articles by Joe Auletta and Mark Freedman, comments from the Commissioner, and a dedicatory poem on Bob Feller from the talented Jim Dietz. We also bring back Grantland Rice to memorialize the late, great Harmon Killebrew. As always, it’s probably as much fun to write as it is to read.
