STATISTICS

STATISTICS
is a branch of mathematics that deals with the
collection, organization, presentation,
analysis, and interpretation of data.
is a collection of methods for planning
experiments, obtaining data, and then
organizing, summarizing, presenting,
analyzing, interpreting, and drawing
conclusions based on the data.
STATISTICS
Collection refers to the gathering of
information or data.
Organization or presentation involves
summarizing data or information in textual,
graphical or tabular form.
Analysis involves describing the data using
statistical methods and procedures.
Interpretation refers to the process of making
conclusions based on the result of the
statistical treatment of the data.
Branches of Statistics
 DESCRIPTIVE Statistics
- summarize or describe the important
characteristics of a known set of
population data
 INFERENTIAL Statistics
- use sample data to make inferences (or
generalizations) about a population

Population vs. Sample
• A POPULATION is a complete collection
of all elements (scores, people,
measurements) to be studied.

• A SAMPLE is a portion/sub-collection of
elements drawn from a population.
Parameter vs. Statistic
• A PARAMETER is a numerical
measurement describing some
characteristics of a population.

• A STATISTIC is a numerical measurement


describing a characteristic of a sample.
Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data
• QUALITATIVE DATA (categorical) can be
separated into different categories that are
distinguished by some nonnumeric
characteristics.

• QUANTITATIVE DATA (numerical) consist


of numbers representing counts or
measurements.
A student was asked to accomplish a form on his or her personal data
prior to his or her admission to a certain university. Determine whether
the following information can be classified as qualitative or quantitative.

1. Gender
2. Age
3. Number of Family
Members
4. General Weighted
Average in High School
5. Type of School
Discrete vs. Continuous Data
• DISCRETE DATA result from either a
finite number of possible values or
countable number of possible values as 0,
or 1, or 2, and so on.
• CONTINUOUS DATA result from infinitely
many possible values that can be
associated with points on a continuous
scale in such a way that there are no gaps
or interruptions.
Quantitative data can be classified further as discrete or continuous
data. Determine whether the following is a discrete or continuous data.

1. Number of students engaged in sports


2. Memory capacity of a computer
3. Body temperature
4. Ages of fourth year students
5. Number of teachers in Pamplona Institute
6. Grade in Mathematics
7. Number of books in the shelf
8. Time consumed in taking a math exam
9. Distance traveled by a car
10.Dale’s height

that is being affected or explained

• INDEPENDENT VARIABLE – the variable


that affects or explains

Levels of Measurement
• The nominal level of measurement is
characterized by data that consist of
names, labels, or categories only.

• The ordinal level of measurement involves


data that may be arranged in some order
but differences between data values either
cannot be determined or are meaningless.
Levels of Measurement
• The interval level of measurement is like
the ordinal level, but meaningful amounts
of differences can be determined. It has no
inherent (natural) zero starting point.

• The ratio level of measurement is the


interval level modified to include the
inherent zero starting point.
Identify the level of measurement for each of the following
data.

1. Blood type of a patient admitted to a hospital


2. Intelligence Quotient of a student
3. Tax identification number (TIN) of an employee
4. A student’s academic rank in high school
5. Average daily sales of a bakeshop
6. TV network
7. Most popular movie actor
8. Birth order in the family
9. Body temperature
10. Memory capacity of a computer
