Statistical Analysis of Engineering Data
Engineers rely on summary statistics to make sense of large sets of measurement data collected from sensors, equipment, or experiments. These statistics—such as mean, median, and standard deviation—help you quickly assess the central tendency, variability, and reliability of your data. In quality control, summary statistics reveal if a process is operating within acceptable limits. For performance monitoring, they highlight trends and anomalies that may indicate equipment wear or malfunction. Without these tools, it would be much harder to detect subtle issues or make informed decisions based on raw measurements alone.
123456789101112import numpy as np # List of pressure readings in psi from a hydraulic system pressure_readings = [101.2, 99.8, 100.5, 102.1, 98.7, 105.0, 100.2, 99.9] mean_pressure = np.mean(pressure_readings) median_pressure = np.median(pressure_readings) std_pressure = np.std(pressure_readings) print("Mean pressure:", mean_pressure) print("Median pressure:", median_pressure) print("Standard deviation:", std_pressure)
When you look at the computed statistics for the pressure readings, the mean gives you the average pressure, which is useful for understanding the typical value in your data set. The median shows the middle value when the readings are ordered, making it less sensitive to extreme values. The standard deviation measures how much the readings vary from the mean; a small standard deviation means the pressures are consistent, while a larger one suggests greater variability. In the context of these pressure measurements, these statistics help you judge whether the system is operating normally or if there are irregularities that need attention.
1234567# Detecting outliers: any reading outside mean ± 2*std is considered an outlier upper_limit = mean_pressure + 2 * std_pressure lower_limit = mean_pressure - 2 * std_pressure outliers = [p for p in pressure_readings if p < lower_limit or p > upper_limit] print("Outlier pressure readings:", outliers)
1. What does the standard deviation tell you about a set of engineering measurements?
2. How can outliers affect engineering decisions?
3. Which numpy function calculates the mean of an array?

Can you explain why 105.0 is considered an outlier in this context?
How would I interpret the presence of an outlier in my pressure readings?
What should I do if I find an outlier in my data?
Чудово!
