Additional Question for Week 4 Homework
The conventional method of measuring the refractive status of an eye involves three quantities:
(1) sphere power, (2) cylinder power, and (3) axis. Optometric researchers studied the variation
in these three measures of refraction (Optometry and Vision Science, June 1995). Twenty-five
successive refractive measurements were obtained on the eyes of over 100 university students.
The cylinder power measurements for the left eye of one particular student (ID #11) are listed in
the table.

i. Calculate three measures of central tendency for this data set.
ii. Calculate three measures of variability for this data set.
iii. Interpret each of the 6 values you have just computed. Which measures do you recommend
using to summarise this data set? Why?
