Sample Mean: x¯=∑xn\bar{x} = \frac{\sum x}{n}Population Mean: μ=∑xN\mu = \frac{\sum x}{N}
Weighted Mean: x¯=Σ(xw)∑w\bar{x} = \frac{\Sigma(x w)}{\sum w}Range = Max – Min
Sample Standard Deviation: s = ∑(x−x¯)2n−1\sqrt{\frac{\sum(x-\bar{x})^{2}}{n-1}}Population Standard Deviation = σ
Sample Variance: s2 = Σ(x−x¯)2n−1\frac{\Sigma(x-\bar{x})^{2}}{n-1}Population Variance = σ2
Coefficient of Variation: CVar = (sx¯·100)%\left(\frac{s}{\bar{x}} \cdot 100\right) \%Z-Score: z = x−x¯s\frac{x-\bar{x}}{s}
Percentile Index: i = (n+1)·p100\frac{(n + 1) \cdot p}{100}Interquartile Range: IQR = Q3 – Q1
Empirical Rule: z = 1, 2, 3 ⇒\Rightarrow 68%, 95%, 99.7%Outlier Lower Limit: Q1 – (1.5·IQR)
Chebyshev’s Inequality: ((1−1(z)2)·100)%\left(\left(1-\frac{1}{(z)^{2}}\right) \cdot 100\right) \%Outlier Upper Limit: Q3 + (1.5·IQR)
