    This document provides formulas for descriptive statistics including the mean, variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, skewness, kurtosis, and other measures for both ungrouped and grouped data from populations and samples. It also includes formulas for calculating the location and value of fractiles, the geometric mean, harmonic mean, root mean square, sample covariance, and notes on calculating the mode and median.

    Notes and Warnings

    The mode is the data point that occurs most or the midpoint of the largest class.

    For the median, use the formulas for fractiles with p  .5

    If you have a sample, you must compute sample statistics. If you have a population made up of
    data points and (perhaps) observed frequencies. If you have a population given in the form of points and
    probabilities, you cannot use the formulas above and must go to materials on random variables.
