Statistics and Probability Notes

The document discusses measures of dispersion including mean absolute deviation (MAD) and average deviation (AD). MAD is the average distance between each data value and the mean, while AD is calculated by subtracting the mean from each value, taking the absolute value, summing, and dividing by the total number of values. The document provides examples of calculating AD for both ungrouped and grouped data. It also discusses calculating variance and standard deviation, which measure how spread out numbers are from the mean. Variance is the average of the squared deviations from the mean, while standard deviation is the square root of the variance. Finally, it defines kurtosis as a statistical measure of the distribution of observed data around the mean.
