🚀 Data Science Roadmap 2026

📘 Phase 2: Mathematics for Data Science

📖 Topic 7: Descriptive Statistics — Range, Percentiles, Quartiles, IQR & Five-Number Summary

Welcome back! 👋

In the previous lesson you covered Probability Distributions.

Now we’re moving to Descriptive Statistics — how we summarize data without predicting the population.

Today we’ll cover: Range, Percentiles, Quartiles, IQR, Five-number summary, Outlier detection

These are core for EDA.

🔹 1. What is Descriptive Statistics?

Summarizes key characteristics of a dataset.

Example: Salaries: 30000, 35000, 40000, 45000, 50000

Instead of checking each value, use: Min, Max, Mean, Median, Quartiles, Percentiles, Std Dev

🔹 2. Range

Formula:

Range = Maximum − Minimum

Example: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 → Range = 50 − 10 = 40

Note: Very sensitive to outliers. 50 → 500 makes range jump to 490.

🔹 3. Percentiles ⭐

Value below which X% of observations fall.

50th Percentile = Median

25th Percentile = 25% at or below

90th Percentile = 90% at or below

🔹 4. Real-World Example

90th percentile score ≠ 90% marks. It means you did better than ∼90% of people.

🔹 5. Quartiles

Divide data into 4 equal parts:

Q1 = 25th percentile

Q2 = 50th percentile = Median

Q3 = 75th percentile

🔹 6. Visualizing Quartiles

0% ---- Q1 ---- Q2 ---- Q3 ---- 100%

25% 50% 75%

🔹 7. Interquartile Range (IQR) ⭐

Formula: IQR = Q3 − Q1

Example: Q1=20, Q3=60 → IQR = 40. Middle 50% spans 40 units.

🔹 8. Why IQR Matters

Less affected by outliers than Range.

Data: 10,20,30,40,50,1000 → Range=990 but IQR ignores the 1000.

🔹 9. Detecting Outliers Using IQR ⭐

Lower Bound = Q1 − 1.5 × IQR

Upper Bound = Q3 + 1.5 × IQR

Values outside = potential outliers

🔹 10. Outlier Example

Q1=20, Q3=60 → IQR=40

Lower = 20-60 = -40

Upper = 60+60 = 120

So < -40 or > 120 are outliers

🔹 11. Five-Number Summary ⭐

1. Minimum 2. Q1 3. Median 4. Q3 5. Maximum

Ex: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50

🔹 12. Box Plot

Visualizes the 5-number summary.

Box = Q1 to Q3. Line inside = Median. Whiskers = range without outliers.

🔹 13. Python Example

import numpy as np

data = [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70]
q1 = np.percentile(data, 25)
median = np.percentile(data, 50)
q3 = np.percentile(data, 75)
iqr = q3 - q1
print("Q1:", q1, "Median:", median, "Q3:", q3, "IQR:", iqr)


🔹 14. Descriptive Statistics in Pandas

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({"Salary": [30000, 35000, 40000, 45000, 50000]})
print(df["Salary"].describe())


describe() gives Count, Mean, Std, Min, 25%, 50%, 75%, Max

🔹 15. Real-World Example

Transactions: Q1=₹500, Median=₹1000, Q3=₹2000 → IQR=₹1500

Use IQR to flag fraud, bulk orders, errors, or VIP customers. Investigate before deleting.

🔹 16. Range vs IQR

Range: Easy but outlier-sensitive

IQR: Middle 50% only, robust to outliers

🔹 17. Percentile vs Percentage

Percentage = out of 100.

Ex: 80% marks

Percentile = relative position.

Ex: 90th percentile

🔹 18. Common Mistakes

❌ 90th percentile = 90% score

❌ Deleting all outliers blindly

❌ Thinking IQR covers all data

🎯 Practice Questions

1. Range of 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 = ?

2. Median = which percentile?

3. Q1=25, Q3=75 → IQR = ?

4. Upper outlier boundary formula?

5. 5 components of five-number summary?

🎯 Key Takeaways

✅ Range = Max - Min

✅ Q1=25th, Q2=50th=Median, Q3=75th

✅ IQR = Q3 - Q1

✅ 5-number summary = Min, Q1, Median, Q3, Max

✅ Percentile ≠ Percentage

Here: loc = 50 represents the mean. scale = 10 represents the standard deviation.

🔹 17. Common Mistakes

❌ Confusing PMF and PDF → Remember: PMF → Discrete, PDF → Continuous

❌ Thinking PDF value is probability → For a continuous distribution, the PDF value at a point is a density, not the probability of that exact value. Probability comes from the area over an interval.

❌ Forgetting that CDF is cumulative → CDF always represents: P(X ≤ x)

🎯 Practice Questions

1. What is the difference between a discrete and continuous random variable?

2. What is PMF used for?

3. What does a PDF represent?

4. What does CDF calculate?

5. Name three probability distributions commonly used in Data Science.

🎯 Key Takeaways

✅ Probability distributions describe how probabilities are distributed across possible outcomes.

✅ Discrete variables have countable outcomes.

✅ Continuous variables can take infinitely many values within a range.

✅ PMF is used for discrete random variables.

✅ PDF is used for continuous random variables.

✅ CDF gives the cumulative probability up to a particular value.

✅ Normal, Binomial, and Poisson distributions are important distributions for Data Scientists.

Understanding probability distributions gives you the foundation needed for statistical inference, hypothesis testing, machine learning, and advanced Data Science.

This tells us the probability that the score is 80 or less.

🔹 8. PMF vs PDF vs CDF

PMF: Used for Discrete data. Represents Probability of an exact outcome

PDF: Used for Continuous data. Represents Probability density

CDF: Used for Discrete & continuous. Represents Probability up to a value

A simple way to remember:

PMF → Exact probability for discrete outcomes

PDF → Density across continuous values

CDF → Cumulative probability up to a value

🔹 9. Example: Discrete Distribution

Suppose a machine produces defective products.

Let: X = Number of defective products

Possible values: 0, 1, 2, 3

Suppose:

P(X=0) = 0.50

P(X=1) = 0.30

P(X=2) = 0.15

P(X=3) = 0.05

Check: 0.50 + 0.30 + 0.15 + 0.05 = 1.00

Therefore, this is a valid probability distribution.

🔹 10. Example: Continuous Distribution

Suppose: X = Customer waiting time

Waiting time could be: 2.1 minutes, 2.15 minutes, 2.157 minutes, 2.1578 minutes...

Because there are infinitely many possible values, we treat it as a continuous random variable.

A PDF can describe how densely the waiting times are distributed.

🔹 11. Normal Distribution ⭐

One of the most important probability distributions in Data Science is the Normal Distribution.

It is often called the bell curve because of its shape.

A normal distribution is characterized by: Mean, Standard deviation

Many natural and measurement-related variables can be approximately normally distributed under suitable conditions.

Examples: Measurement errors, Certain biological measurements, Standardized test scores

🔹 12. Properties of Normal Distribution

For a perfectly symmetric normal distribution: Mean = Median = Mode

The distribution is symmetric around its mean.

A common rule of thumb is the 68–95–99.7 rule:

Within 1 Standard Deviation: Approximately 68%

Within 2 Standard Deviations: Approximately 95%

Within 3 Standard Deviations: Approximately 99.7%

🔹 13. Binomial Distribution

The Binomial Distribution is a discrete probability distribution used when:

There are a fixed number of trials, Each trial has two possible outcomes, The probability of success is constant, Trials are independent.

Examples: Number of successful predictions, Number of heads in coin tosses, Number of defective products in a fixed sample

Example: 10 coin tosses. X = Number of Heads. Possible values: 0, 1, 2, ..., 10

🔹 14. Poisson Distribution

The Poisson Distribution is commonly used to model the number of events occurring within a fixed interval when events occur at a certain average rate under appropriate assumptions.

Examples: Number of customer calls per hour, Number of website visits per minute, Number of machine failures per month, Number of support tickets per day

🔹 15. Why Probability Distributions Matter in Data Science?

Probability distributions help Data Scientists:

✅ Understand data patterns

✅ Detect unusual observations

✅ Model uncertainty

✅ Perform statistical tests

✅ Build predictive models

✅ Simulate data

✅ Estimate probabilities

🔹 16. Python Example

import numpy as np

data = np.random.normal(
loc=50,
scale=10,
size=1000
)

print(data[:5])
