Mean, Deviation, & Standard Deviation

The mean describes the center of the data. The standard deviation describes the spread of the data. But to compare two variables, it is convenient to normalize both. In this exercise, you are provided with two arrays of data, which are highly correlated, and you will compute and visualize the normalized deviations of each array.

  • Compute the deviations dx and dy.
  • Compute the normalized deviations zx and zy.
  • Call plot_cdfs() to see how both the raw and the normalized data compares.
