Answer

Inferential statistics use sample data from a small subset of a population to make generalizations about the overall population. Statistical models are applied to compare a sample to other samples or previous research in order to infer properties of the entire population based on representative sample data. Inferential statistics are useful when directly examining every member of a population is impractical.

You are on page 1/ 4

Ans 1: If the variance of a variable/column is 0 then it means the values in the variable/column

are all the same.

For Example

Observations = 4,4,4,4

Mean (x̅) = 4+4+4+4/4

=4

Variance = ((n1- Mean)2 + ... nn- Mean)2) / N

=((4-4)2+(4-4)2+(4-4)2+(4-4)2))/4 =0

By Putting the valid values in above formula we get

We get Variance = 0

When Variance is zero that’s simply means there is no variation (all Values in column are same)
so there won’t be any use in including it in our analysis

Ans 2---

Mean=
= 7+6+7+7+8+5+8+7+7+5+5/11 = 6.54

Median= 7

Mode = 7

Variance =((n1- Mean)2 + ... nn- Mean)2) / N

=( (7-6.5)+(6-6.5)+(7-6.5)+(7-6.5)+(8-6.5)+(5-6.5)+(8-6.5)+(7-6.5)+(7-6.5)+(5-6.5)+(5-6.5))/11

= ((.5)+(-.5)+(.5)+(.5)+(1.5)+(-1.5)+(1.5)+(.5)+(.5)+(-1.5)+(-1.5))/11

= .(25+.25+.25+.25+2.25+2.25+2.25+.25+.25+2.25+2.25)/11

=1.27

Standard Deviation ( σ) = √Variance = √1.27

= 1.12

Answer- 3

Let the 12 oberservations given are x1,x2,x3,x4,x5,x6,x7,x8,x9,x10,x11,x12

Mean =

= (x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6+x7+x8+x9+x10+x11+x12)/12

= x̅ ………………….eq(1)

So now according to the question largest value is increased by 36 points so now mean

Mean=(x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6+x7+x8+x9+x10+x11+x12)+36/12

= (x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6+x7+x8+x9+x10+x11+x12)/12 +36/12

Mean(x̅ ) = x̅ + 3 (from eq.(1))


So increase to the mean is 3

So when In a group of 12 scores, the largest score is increased by 36 points. So therefore


increase to the mean is 3.

Ans 4: Data (singular): The value of the variable associated with one element of a population or
sample. This value may be a number, a word, or a symbol.

Data (plural): The set of values collected for the variable from each of the elements belonging
to the sample

Ans 5:

Inferential statistics use statistical models to help you compare your sample data to other
samples or to previous research.

Inferential statistics you take that sample data from a small number of people and try to
determine if the data can predict whether the drug will work for everyone (i.e. the population).

Inferential statistics use a random sample of data taken from a population to describe and
make inferences about the population. Inferential statistics are valuable when examination of
each member of an entire population is not convenient or possible. For example, to measure
the diameter of each nail that is manufactured in a mill is impractical. You can measure the
diameters of a representative random sample of nails. You can use the information from the
sample to make generalizations about the diameters of all of the nails
