The document discusses measures of central tendency and dispersion (MCTD) that are used to summarize data. It defines and provides examples of calculating the mean, median, mode, range, variance, standard deviation, interquartile range, and coefficient of variation. Examples are provided to illustrate how to compute these MCTD and interpret them to understand the concentration and variability of data from a sample population. Guidance is given on choosing the appropriate measure of central tendency or dispersion depending on the characteristics of the data set.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

By the end of this session, the students will be able to compute and interpret
Mean
Median
Mode
o Range (R)
o Variance and Standard deviation.
o Coefficient of variation (C.V)
o Interquartile Range
1/2/2023 Data summarization 2
3. Introduction
• Compiling and presenting the data in tabular or graphical form
will not give complete information of the data collected.
• We need to “summarize” the entire data in one figure, looking
at which we can get overall idea of the data.
• Summary measures provide description of data in terms of
concentration of data and variability existing in data.
• We use these summary figures to draw certain conclusions about
the reference population from which the sample data has been
drawn.

• It is the average of the data.
• Random sample of size 10 of ages, where

5. Properties of the Mean
o Uniqueness: For a given set of data there is one and only one mean.
o Simplicity: It is easy to understand and to compute.
o Affected by extreme values: since all values enter into the
computation.
Example:
Assume the values are 115, 110, 119,117,121 and 126. The mean =
118. But assume that the values are 75, 75, 80, 80 and 280. The mean
= 118, a value that is not representative of the set of data as a whole.
1/2/2023 Data summarization 5
6. Median
1/2/2023 Data summarization 6
It is the middle value in the ordering of all data values
from smallest to largest.
• For the same random sample, the ordered observations will 23,
28, 28, 31, 32, 34, 37, 42, 50, 61.
• Since n = 10, then the median is the 5.5𝑡ℎobservation, i.e. =
(32+34)/2 = 33
7. …Median
Properties of the Median:
• Uniqueness: For a given set of data there is one and
only one median.
• Simplicity: It is easy to calculate.
• It is not affected by extreme values as is the mean.
1/2/2023 Data summarization 7
8. Mode
• It is the value which occurs most frequently.
• If all values are different there is no mode.
• Sometimes, there are more than one mode.
Sample:
• For the same random sample, the value 28 is repeated two times, so
it is the mode.
Properties of the Mode
• Sometimes, it is not unique.
• It may be used for describing qualitative data.

11. Measures of Spread…
• Measures of spread are :
o Range (R).
o Variance and Standard deviation.
o Coefficient of variation (C.V).
o Interquartile Range
• Measures of Relative Position(Quantiles and
Percentiles)
1/2/2023 Data summarization 11
12. Introduction
• Knowledge of central tendency alone is not sufficient for
complete understanding of distribution.
• Measures of spread tell us how far or how close together
the data points are in a sample.
• Measures of variability are measures of spread that tell us
how varied our data points are from the average of the
sample.
1/2/2023 Data summarization 12
13. Range (R)
Range = Largest value - Smallest value
Note:
o Range concern only onto two values
o Highly sensitive to outliers
o Data: 43, 66, 61, 64, 65, 38, 59, 57, 57, 50.
o Find Range? Range=66-38=28

17. Measures of Dispersion…
Consider the following two sets of data:
A: 177 193 195 209 226 Mean = 200
B: 192 197 200 202 209 Mean = 200
Two or more sets may have the same mean and/or median but
they may be quite different.
1/2/2023 Data summarization 17
18. Measures of Dispersion…
A measure of dispersion conveys information regarding the
amount of variability present in a set of data,
Note:
1. If all the values are the same: There is no dispersion ,
2. If all the values are different: There is a dispersion:
3. If the values close to each other: The amount of Dispersion is
small.
4. If the values are widely scattered: The Dispersion is greater.
1/2/2023 Data summarization 18
19. Standard deviation
• Caution must be exercised when using standard deviation as a
comparative index of dispersion

• Incorrect to say that elephants show greater variation for birth-
weights than mice because of higher standard deviation
1/2/2023 Data summarization 19

𝑿 = 0.68
SD = 0.255
CV = 0.375
Note :
Mice show greater birth weight variation
1/2/2023 Data summarization 21
22. Example:
• Suppose two samples of human males yield the following data:
We wish to know which is more variable.
Solution:
C.V (Sample 1) = (10/145)*100= 6.9
C.V (Sample 2) = (10/80)* 100= 12.5
• Then age of 11-years olds(sample 2) is more variation
Sample 1 Sample 2
Age 25-year-olds 11 year-olds
Mean weight 145 pound 80 pound
Standard Deviation 10 pound 10 pound
1/2/2023 Data summarization 22
23. When to use coefficient of variance
o When comparison groups have very different means
o When different units of measurement are involved, e.g. group 1
unit is mm, and group 2 unit is gm (CV is suitable for comparison
as it is unit free)
o In such cases, SD should not be used for comparison
1/2/2023 Data summarization 23
24. Measures of Relative Position
Locate the relative position of an observation in relation to the
other observations.
Divide the data set into 100 equal groups
Suppose a data set is arranged in ascending (or descending )
order. The pth percentile is a number such that p% of the
observations of the data set fall below and (100-p)% of the
observations fall above it. For Example
45 % of observations are below the 45th percentile
55 % of observations are above 45th percentile

Data: 13, 11, 10, 13; 11, 10, 8, 12, 9, 9, 8, 9
What is the percentile rank for12?
Solution: First, we need to arrange the values from smallest to largest.
This ordered set is given as: 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10, 10, 11, 11, 12, 13, 13
Observe that the number of values below 12 is 9 and the total number of values in
the data set is 12. Thus, using the formula, the corresponding percentile is
That is, the value of 12corresponds to approximately the
79th percentile
27. Ctd
1. Tertiles:
• Two points that divide and order a sample variable into three
categories, each containing a third of the population
(e.g., high, medium, low).
1/2/2023 Data summarization 27
28. 2. Quartiles:
• Three points that divide and order a sample variable into four
categories, each containing a fourth of the population.
• The 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles of a variable are used to
categorize it into quartiles.
3. Quintiles:
• Four points that divide and order a sample variable into five
categories, each containing a fifth of the population.
• The 20th, 40th, 60th, and 80th percentiles of a variable are used to
categorize it into quintiles.

4. Deciles:
• Nine points that divide and order a sample variable
into ten categories, each containing a tenth of the
population.
• The 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, and
90th percentiles of a variable are used to categorize
it into deciles

1/2/2023 Data presentation & summarization 30
• Quartiles are the values that divide a list of numbers into quarters:
• Put the list of numbers in order
• Then cut the list into four equal parts
• Example: 5, 7, 4, 4, 6, 2, 8
• Put them in order: 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
• Cut the list into quarters:
– Quartile 1 (Q1) = 4
– Quartile 2 (Q2), which is also the Median, = 5
– Quartile 3 (Q3) = 7
