7 Propertes of the Mean Meanngful for nterval and rato data All data used n the calculaton Unque for every set of data Affected by unusually large or small observatons (outlers) The only measure of central tendency where the sum of the devatons of each value from the measure s zero;.e., (x x ) = 0 Copyrght 2010 Pearson Educaton, Inc. Publshng as Prentce Hall 2-19 Medan Mddle value when data are ordered from smallest to largest. Ths results n an equal number of observatons above the medan as below t.

Publshng as Prentce Hall 2-29 Coeffcent of Varaton CV = Standard Devaton / Mean CV s dmensonless, and therefore s useful when comparng data sets that are scaled dfferently.
