Statistics: By: Nidhi Achari, Harsha Devadiga, Vasudha Shinde, Nidhi Dubey, Ananya Bhadane

This document defines key terms related to statistics such as data, primary data, secondary data, variate, variable, continuous variable, discontinuous variable, range, and frequency distribution. It provides examples of calculating the mean and median of ungrouped and grouped data. Bar graphs and histograms are presented as ways to visually represent grouped quantitative data through bins.

Dubey, Ananya Bhadane
SOME TERMS RELATED TO STATISTICS
› When facts, observations or statements are taken on a particular subject, they are
collectively known as data.
› The information collected by the investigator himself or herself with a definite
purpose in his or her mind is called a primary data.
› The information gathered from a source which already had information stored is
called secondary data.
› A particular value of a variable is called variate or observation.
› A quantity which is being measured in an experiment is called a variable.
› Continuous variables are variables which can take any value between two given
values.
› Discontinuous variable are variables which cannot take all possible values
between two given values.
› Range tells how far apart the greatest and least numbers in a set are. It is the
difference between the largest and smallest numbers.
SIMPLE FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION

Number of siblings Number of › Consider the following data

MEAN AND MEDIAN
MEAN OF UNGROUPED DATA MEDIAN OF UNGROUPED DATA
› Mean is the average of all the › Median is the middle value,
values. It is the sum of the dividing the number of data into
observation divided by the 2 halves. Thus, if there are n
number of observation. If the observations x1, x2, x3,…..xn
observations are x1, x2,
x3,….,xn, then the average of n then
terms or › If n is odd Median = n+1/2 th
› Mean = sum of observation
observations/number of
observations › If n is even Median = n/2 th
observation + (n/2 + 1) th
= x1+x2+x3+…..xn /n observation /2
= ∑xi /n, where i=1 to n
