New cards

standard deviation

(often reported as ±) shows how much variation there is from the mean/avg

2
New cards

data points of smaller/larger standard deviations

  • data points close together → smaller deviation

  • data points spread out → larger deviation

<ul><li><p>data points close together → smaller deviation</p></li><li><p>data points spread out → larger deviation</p></li></ul><p></p>

New cards

what is standard error of the mean (SEM) used to represent

represents uncertainty in an estimation of mean & accounts for both sample size & variability

4
New cards

as standard error grow smaller…

smaller SEM → increased accuracy (accurate estimation of the population

5
New cards

what does the length of the error bars mean?

spread around the mean, shorter bars = less variability from the mean
