    This document provides an overview of basic statistics concepts. It defines statistics as dealing with the collection, organization, presentation, analysis, and interpretation of numerical data. There are two main types of statistics: descriptive statistics, which summarizes data without drawing conclusions, and inferential statistics, which makes predictions or inferences about a population using a sample. The document also defines key terms like population, sample, sample size, variable, categorical data, and quantitative data. It describes categorical data as placing things into groups or categories, and quantitative data as measured in numbers.

    BASIC STATISTICS CONCEPT

     STATISTICS (singular sense) – a science that deals with the collection, organization, presentation, analysis, and
    interpretation of numerical data
     STATISTICS (plural sense) – quantitative or numerical data
     DATA - information coming from observations, counts, measurements, or responses

    GENERAL USES OF STATISTICS


     Aids in decision making by
    a. providing comparison
    b. explaining action that has taken place
    c. justifying a claim or assertion
    d. predicting future outcome
    e. estimating unknown quantities
     Summarizes data for public use

    2 TYPES OF STATISTICS

    1. Descriptive statistics – is concerned with the collection, organization, and summarizing of a set of data without drawing
    conclusions or inferences. Uses graphs, tables, percentages and averages as tools

    Examples:

     A bowler wants to determine his bowling average for the past 12 games.
     A housewife wants to determine the average weekly amount she spent on groceries in the past three months

    2. Inferential statistics – is concerned with the formulation of predictions or inferences about a population using the information
    gathered from a sample

    Examples:

     A bowler wants to estimate his chance of winning a game based on his current season averages and the averages
    of his opponents
     A housewife would like to predict, based on last year’s grocery bills, the average weekly amount she will spend on
    groceries for this year.

    Practice 1: Identify whether each statement tells about Descriptive Statistics or Inferential Statistics.

    1. Out of the three hundred commerce graduates of UNO-R last year, two hundred sixty are already employed.
    Descriptive Statistics
    2. A politician would like to estimate, based on opinion poll, his chance of winning in the upcoming election.
    Inferential Statistics
    3. A teacher summarizes students’ grades by finding the mean, median and mode.
    Descriptive Statistics
    4. A student would like to assess his possibility of passing the licensure examination.
    Inferential Statistics
    5. A school estimates the possible number of enrollees for the next 10 years.
    6. Inferential Statistics
    TYPES OF DATA

    1. Quantitative Data – data which can be subjected to arithmetic operations (number responses)
     indicates how many or how much Example:
    a. Discrete data – data which can be obtained through counting (whole number)

    b. Continuous data – data which can be obtained through measuring. They can assume any value within a
    specified interval or range (decimal)

    2. Qualitative Data– a variable which categorizes or describes an individual or item (word responses)
    Example:

    Practice2:

    Classify each of the following data as quantitative or qualitative. If quantitative, determine if it is discrete or continuous.

    1. IQ score of a student Quantitative, continuous 6. number of admissions in a hospital Quantitative, discrete


    2. speed of a car Quantitative, continuous 7. political affiliation Qualitative
    3. blood type of a patient Qualitative 8. monthly income of a teacher Quantitative, continuous
    4. brand of toothpaste Qualitative 9. time required to repair a television Quantitative, continuous
    5. weight of a package Quantitative, continuous 10. place of residence Qualitative

    STATISTICS

    I. What is Statistics
    A. Statistics: the collection and interpretation of data. ( 9secs frame on major topics)
    1. We use statistics to measure and analyze variability. Variables change among
    individuals.
    Example: Height, Weight, Hair Color, Food preferences.
    2. Two kinds of Statistics
    a.) Inferential Statistics – it deals of taking samples and analyzing the sample to
    make judges and claims about the population.
    b.) Descriptive Statistics – getting data from the population and often use
    histograms and graphs to summarize and explain the descriptive statistics.
    B. Population: refers to the total amount of “things”.
    1. Refers to the total amount of people, cats, vehicles and houses.
    C. Sample: refers to a small part of the population that is used for study
    D. Sample size: total amount of things in a sample
    E. Variable: this is what we are studying and examine. It represents a characteristic of what we
    are trying to study and they can vary among individuals.
    1. It can be categorized, countable and measurable.
    2. Two different forms of Measure of Variable
    a.) Categorical Data – refers to the values that place “things” into different
    groups or categories.
    - It comes from Categorical Variables.
    Examples: Hair Color, Type of Cat, Letter Grade
    - Two types of Categorical Variable
     Categorical and Ordinal – logical ordering to the
    values of a categorical variable.
     Categorical and Nominal – no logical ordering to the
    values of a categorical variable.
    b.) Quantitative Date – data that is measured in numbers. It deals with
    numbers that make sense to perform arithmetic
    calculations with.
    - It comes from Quantitative Variables.
    Examples: Height, Weight, Scores
    - Two types of Categorical Variable
     Discrete – refer to variables that can only be
    measured in certain numbers.
     Continuous – refer to variables that can take on
    any numerical value.
