  1. Not Lying with Statistics

  2. Not Lying with Statistics • Aggregation - When do summary numbers represent the underlying detail? • Cross Tabulation - using Pivot Tables to show relations. • Quadmap - relating importance and performance.

  3. Aggregation - When summary numbers reflect the detail. • Look at the frequency distribution • Is it unimodal and symmetric? • Unimodal

  4. Aggregation • Is it symmetric?

  5. Influence of Skew on Mean, Median and Mode • Mean - the balance point of a distribution. • Median - the 50th percentile. • Mode - most frequently occurring point.

  6. Influence of Skew

  7. Influence of Kurtosis • Platykurtic - fat and flat • Leptokurtic - tall and skinny

  8. Influence of Kurtosis • Platykurtic - the average reflects each period. • Leptokurtic - more precise information exists.

  9. When you hear comparisons • Are means (averages) being compared? • Are shapes being compared? • Unimodal vs. bimodal • Symmetric vs. skewed • Lepto- vs. platykurtic

  10. The average temperature:West Virginia vs. Alameda, CA 56 degrees vs. 57 degrees

  11. Association in Tables • Question -- Are ratings of how much consumers Like a brand related to their Top Box rating of Intention to Purchase the brand?
