The Descriptive Statistics (n=9) function computes the sample statistics for nine numerical observations. It uses the n-1 design for samples, which is different from the N design used in population parameters.

Description

Enter nine observations and choose a sample statistic from the following list:

  • min - this is the minimum observed value
  • max - this is the maximum observed value
  • mean - this is the mean (average) of the observed values
  • variance - this is the statistical variance of the observed values
  • stdev - this is the standard deviation of the observed values
  • sum - this is the sum of the observed values
  • standard error - this is the the estimate of how far away the sample mean is from the population mean. This value is used to compute t-values for inferential statistics.
  • Sum of Squares - this value is used to calculate t-values for inferential statistics.
  • sum squared values - this is a part of the Sum of Squares value and is used in ANOVA calculations.
