Means Difference
Statistics - Means Difference
The mean difference (more correctly, difference in means ) is a standard statistic that measures the absolute difference between the mean value in two groups in a cpnical trial. It estimates the amount by which the experimental intervention changes the outcome on average compared with the control.
Formula
${Mean Difference= frac{sum x_1}{n} - frac{sum x_2}{n}}$
Where −
${x_1}$ = Mean of group one
${x_2}$ = Mean of group two
${n}$ = Sample size
Example
Problem Statement:
There are 2 dance groups whose data is psted below. Find the mean difference between these dance groups.
| Group 1 | 3 | 9 | 5 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 2 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
Solution:
${ sum x_1 = 3 + 9 + 5 + 7 = 24 \[7pt] sum x_2 = 5 + 3 + 4 + 4 = 16 \[7pt] M_1 = frac{sum x_1}{n} = frac{24}{4} = 6 \[7pt] M_2 = frac{sum x_2}{n} = frac{16}{4} = 4 \[7pt] Mean Difference = 6-4 = 2 }$
