The document discusses various measures used to describe the dispersion or variability in a data set. It defines dispersion as the extent to which values in a distribution differ from the average. Several measures of dispersion are described, including range, interquartile range, mean deviation, and standard deviation. The document also discusses measures of relative standing like percentiles and quartiles, and how they can locate the position of observations within a data set. The learning objectives are to understand how to describe variability, compare distributions, describe relative standing, and understand the shape of distributions using these measures.

A measure of central tendency is a summary statistic that represents the center point or typical value of a dataset. These measures indicate where most values in a distribution fall and are also referred to as the central location of a distribution. You can think of it as the tendency of data to cluster around a middle value. In statistics, the three most common measures of central tendency are the mean, median, and mode. Each of these measures calculates the location of the central point using a different method.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Mean deviation and
Standard deviation.
Methods for detecting outlier
Measure of Relative Standing

3. LEARNING OBJECTIVE
They will be able to:
describe the homogeneity or heterogeneity
of the distribution,
understand the reliability of the mean,
compare the distributions as regards the
variability.
describe the relative standing of the data
and also shape of the distribution.
4. What is measures of dispersion?
(Definition)
Central tendency measures do not
reveal the variability present in the
data.
Dispersion is the scattered ness of
the data series around it average.
Dispersion is the extent to which
values in a distribution differ from the
average of the distribution.
5. Why measures of dispersion?
(Significance)
Determine the reliability of an
average
Serve as a basis for the control
of the variability
To compare the variability of
two or more series and
Facilitate the use of other
statistical measures.
6. Dispersion Example
Number of minutes 20 X:Mean Time – 14.6
clients waited to see a
consulting doctor minutes
Consultant Doctor Y:Mean waiting time

05 15 15 16 What is the difference
12 03 12 18 in the two series?
04 19 15 14
37 11 13 17
06 34 11 15
X: High variability, Less consistency.
Y: Low variability, More Consistency
8. Characteristics of an Ideal Measure of
Dispersion
It should be rigidly defined.
1.
It should be easy to understand and easy to calculate.
2.
It should be based on all the observations of the data.
3.
It should be easily subjected to further mathematical
4.
It should be least affected by the sampling fluctuation .
5.
It should not be unduly affected by the extreme values.
6.
9. How dispersions are measured?
Measure of dispersion:
Absolute: Measure the dispersion in the
original unit of the data.
Variability in 2 or more distrn can be
compared provided they are given in the
same unit and have the same average.
Relative: Measure of dispersion is free from
unit of measurement of data.
It is the ratio of a measaure of absolute
dispersion to the average, from which
absolute deviations are measured.
It is called as co-efficient of dispersion.
10. How dispersions are measured? Contd.
The following measures of
dispersion are used to study the
variation:
The range
The inter quartile range and
quartile deviation
The mean deviation or average
deviation
The standard deviation
11. How dispersions are measured? Contd.
Range:
The difference between the values of the two
extreme items of a series.
Example:
Age of a sample of 10 subjects from a population
of 169subjects are:
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7 X8 X9 X10
42 28 28 61 31 23 50 34 32 37
The youngest subject in the sample is
23years old and the oldest is 61 years, The
range: R=XL – Xs
= 61-23 =38
12. Co-efficient of Range:
R = (XL - XS) / (XL + XS)
= (61 -23) / (61 + 23) =38 /84 = 0.452
Characteristics of Range
Simplest and most crude measure of
dispersion
It is not based on all the observations.
Unduly affected by the extreme values
and fluctuations of sampling.
The range may increase with the size of
the set of observations though it can
decrease
Gives an idea of the variability very
quickly
13. Percentiles, Quartiles (Measure of Relative Standing)
and Interquartile Range
Descriptive measures that locate the relative position of an
observation in relation to the other observations are called
measures of relative standing.
They are quartiles, deciles and percentiles
The quartiles & the median divide the array into four equal parts,
deciles into ten equal groups, and percentiles into one hundred
equal groups.
Given a set of n observations X1, X2, …. Xn, the pth percentile ‘P’ is the
value of X such that ‘p’ per cent of the observations are less than
and 100 –p per cent of the observations are greater than P.
25th percentile = 1st Quartile i.e., Q1
50th percentile = 2nd Quartile i.e., Q2
75th percentile = 3rd Quartile i.e., Q3
14. QL M QU

n+1
Q1 = th ordered observation
4
Q2 = 2(n+1) th ordered observation
4
Q3 = 3(n+1) th ordered observation
4
Interquartile Range (IQR): The difference
between the 3rd and 1st quartile.
IQR = Q3 – Q1
Semi Interquartile Range:= (Q3 – Q1)/ 2
Coefficient of quartile deviation:
(Q3 – Q1)/(Q3 + Q1)
16. Interquartile Range
Merits:
It is superior to range as a measure of dispersion.
A special utility in measuring variation in case of open end
distribution or one which the data may be ranked but measured
quantitatively.
Useful in erratic or badly skewed distribution.
The Quartile deviation is not affected by the presence of
extreme values.
Limitations:
As the value of quartile deviation dose not depend upon every
item of the series it can’t be regarded as a good method of
measuring dispersion.
It is not capable of mathematical manipulation.
Its value is very much affected by sampling fluctuation.
17. Another measure of relative standing is the z-score
for an observation (or standard score).
It describes how far individual item in a distribution
departs from the mean of the distribution.
Standard score gives us the number of standard
deviations, a particular observation lies below or above
the mean.
Standard xscore (or z -score) is defined as follows:
z-score=
For a population: X-µ
σ
where X =the observation from the population
µ the population mean, σ = the population s.d
For a sample z-score= X-X
s
where X =the observation from the sample
X the sample mean, s = the sample s.d
18. Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) or Mean
Deviation (MD)
The average of difference of the values of items from some average
of the series (ignoring negative sign), i.e. the arithmetic mean of the
absolute differences of the values from their average .
Note:
1. MD is based on all values and hence cannot be calculated for open-
ended distributions.
2. It uses average but ignores signs and hence appears unmethodical.
3. MD is calculated from mean as well as from median for both
ungrouped data using direct method and for continuous
distribution using assumed mean method and short-cut-method.
4. The average used is either the arithmetic mean or median
19. Computation of Mean absolute Deviation
For individual series: X1, X2, ……… Xn
∑ |Xi -X|
M.A.D =
n
For discrete series: X1, X2, ……… Xn & with
corresponding frequency f1, f2, ……… fn
∑ fi |Xi -X|
M.A.D = ∑ fi
X: Mean of the data series.
20. Computation of Mean absolute Deviation:
For continuous grouped data: m1, m2, …… mn are the
class mid points with corresponding class
frequency f1, f2, ……… fn
∑ fi|mi -X|
M.A.D = ∑fi
X: Mean of the data series.
Coeff. Of MAD: = (MAD /Average)
The average from which the Deviations are
calculated. It is a relative measure of dispersion
and is comparable to similar measure of other
series.
21. Example:
Find MAD of Confinement after delivery in the
following series.
Days of No. of Total days of Absolute fi|Xi - X|
Confinement patients (f) confinement of each Deviation

9 3 27 2.61 7.83
10 2 20 3.61 7.22
Total 18 137 31.98
X = Mean days of confinement = 137 / 18 = 7.61
MAD=31.98 / 18=1.78, Coeff.of MAD= 1.78/7.61=0.233
22. Problem:

infant
23. Merits and Limitations of MAD
Simple to understand and easy to compute.
Based on all observations.
MAD is less affected by the extreme items than
the Standard deviation.
Greatest draw back is that the algebraic signs
are ignored.
Not amenable to further mathematical
treatment.
MAD gives us best result when deviation is
taken from median. But median is not
satisfactory for large variability in the data. If
MAD is computed from mode, the value of the
mode can not be determined always.
24. Standard Deviation (σ)
It is the positive square root of the average of squares
of deviations of the observations from the mean. This is
also called root mean squared deviation (σ) .

26. Characteristics of Standard Deviation:
SD is very satisfactory and most widely used
measure of dispersion
Amenable for mathematical manipulation
It is independent of origin, but not of scale
If SD is small, there is a high probability for
getting a value close to the mean and if it is large,
the value is father away from the mean
Does not ignore the algebraic signs and it is less
affected by fluctuations of sampling
SD can be calculated by :
• Direct method
• Assumed mean method.
• Step deviation method.
27. It is the average of the distances of the observed
values from the mean value for a set of data
Basic rule --More spread will yield a larger SD
Uses of the standard deviation
The standard deviation enables us to determine,
with a great deal of accuracy, where the values
of a frequency distribution are located in relation
to the mean.
Chebyshev’s Theorem
• For any data set with the mean ‘µ’ and the
standard deviation ‘s’ at least 75% of the
values will fall within the 2σ interval and at
least 89% of the values will fall within the 3σ
interval of the mean

Example: Suppose that each day laboratory technician A completes
40 analyses with a standard deviation of 5. Technician B completes
160 analyses per day with a standard deviation of 15. Which
employee shows less variability?
30. Uses of Standard deviation
Uses of the standard deviation
• The standard deviation enables us to
determine, with a great deal of accuracy,
where the values of a frequency
distribution are located in relation to the
mean. We can do this according to a
theorem devised by the Russian
mathematician P.L. Chebyshev (1821-
1894).
31. Measure of Shape
The fourth important numerical characteristic of a
data set is its shape: Skewness and kurtosis.
Skewness
• Skewness characterizes the degree of
asymmetry of a distribution around its
mean. For a sample data, the
skewness is defined by the formula:
3
n n
xi − x
Skewness = ∑ s
(n − 1)(n − 2) i =1
where n = the number of observations in the sample,
xi= ith observation in the sample, s= standard deviation of
the sample, x = sample mean
33. Kurtosis:
Kurtosis characterizes the relative peakedness or flatness of
a distribution compared with the bell-shaped distribution
(normal distribution).
Kurtosis of a sample data set is calculated by the formula:
n(n + 1) n
xi − x
4
3(n − 1) 2
Kurtosis = ∑ s − (n − 2)(n − 3)
(n − 1)(n − 2)(n − 3) i =1
Positive kurtosis indicates a relatively peaked distribution.
Negative kurtosis indicates a relatively flat distribution.
34. The distributions with positive and negative kurtosis
are depicted in Figure 8.4 , where the distribution with
null kurtosis is normal distribution.
