The document defines key statistical terms like population, parameter, statistics, population mean, population variance, and population standard deviation. It provides the formulas to calculate population mean, population variance, and population standard deviation. The document also defines sample mean, sample variance, and sample standard deviation and provides the formulas to calculate them.

1. There are 120 teachers.
Select a sample of 40 teachers by using the systematic sampling
technique 2. A researcher wants to select 35 people from a population of 150. How is she going to do it by using the systematic sampling technique? 3. XYZ cable corporation employees 2500 people. If a random sample of 165 is taken from the entire population by systematic sampling, what is the value of k?
PARAMETER and STATISTICS
Parameter – is a measure that describes a population. Denoted by Greek Letters
Examples of Parameter:
1. Population mean (m)
2. Population variance (𝑜 2 ) 3. Population standard deviation (o)
Statistics – is a measure that describes a sample. Devoted by Roman letters
Examples of Statistics
1. Sample mean 𝑥̅ 2. Sample variance 𝑠 2 3. Sample standard deviation s
POPULATION MEAN – is the mean of the entire population. It is represented by the Greek letter mu (µ) ∑𝑥 µ= 𝑁
where:
x = given data N = population size
POPULATION VARIANCE AND POPULATION DEVATION
Variance and Standard Deviation – are widely used measure of dispersion of data in research
Population Variance 𝑜 2 – is the sum of the squared deviations of each datum from the population mean µ divided by the population size N
Population Standard Deviation o – is the square root of the population variance 𝑜 2
Formulas: ∑(𝑥−µ)2 𝑜2 = 𝑁 N = population size x = given data µ = population mean ∑(𝑥−µ)2 o=√ 𝑁
