Introduction to Statistics

Definition1.In its plural sense, statistics is a set of

numerical data e.g. Vital statistics, monthly sales, exchange rates, etc.

2.In its singular sense, statistics is a branch of science that deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of data.

General uses of Statistics

a. Aids in decision making by providing comparison of data, explains action that has taken place, justify a claim or assertion, predicts future outcome and estimates un known quantities

b. Summarizes data for public use

Examples on the role of Statistics- In Biological and medical sciences, it helps researchers

discover relationship worthy of further attention.Ex. A doctor can use statistics to determine to what

extent is an increase in blood pressure dependent upon age

- In social sciences, it guides researchers and helps them support theories and models that cannot stand on rationale alone.

Ex. Empirical studies are using statistics to obtain socio-economic profile of the middle class to form new socio-political theories.

Con’t- In business, a company can use statistics to

forecast sales, design products, and produce goods more efficiently.

Ex. A pharmaceutical company can apply statistical procedures to find out if the new formula is indeed more effective than the one being used.

- In Engineering, it can be used to test properties of various materials,

- Ex. A quality controller can use statistics to estimate the average lifetime of the products produced by their current equipment.

Fields of Statistics

a. Statistical Methods of Applied Statistics:1. Descriptive-comprise those methods concerned

with the collection, description, and analysis of a set of data without drawing conclusions or inferences about a larger set.

2. Inferential-comprise those methods concerned with making predictions or inferences about a larger set of data using only the information gathered from a subset of this larger set.

con’t

b. Statistical theory of mathematical statistics- deals with the development and exposition of theories that serve as a basis of statistical methods

Descriptive VS Inferential

DESCRIPTIVE• A bowler wants to find his

bowling average for the past 12 months

• A housewife wants to determine the average weekly amount she spent on groceries in the past 3 months

• A politician wants to know the exact number of votes he receives in the last election

INFERENTIALA bowler wants to estimate his

chance of winning a game based on his current season averages and the average 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.

A politician would like to estimate based on opinion polls, his chance for winning in the upcoming election.

Population as Differrentiated from Sample

The word population refers to groups or aggregates of people, animals, objects, materials, happenings or things of any form, this means that there are populations of students, teachers, supervisors, principals, laboratory animals, trees, manufactured articles, birds and many others. If your interest is on few members of the population to represent their characteristics or traits, these members constitute a sample. The measures of the population are called parameters, while those of the sample are called estimates or statistics.

The Variable

It refers to a characteristic or property whereby the members of the group or set vary or differ from one another. However, a constant refers to a property whereby the members of the group do not differ one another.

Variables can be according to functional relationship which is classified as independent and dependent. If you treat variable y as a function of variable z, then z is your independent variable and y is your dependent variable. This means that the value of y, say academic achievement depends on the value of z.

Con’t

Variables according to continuity of values.1. Continuous variable – these are variables

whose levels can take continuous values. Examples are height, weight, length and width.

2. Discrete variables – these are variables whose values or levels can not take the form of a decimal. An example is the size of a particular family.

Con’t

Variables according to scale of measurements:1. Nominal – this refers to a property of the

members of a group defined by an operation which allows making of statements only of equality or difference. For example, individuals can be classified according to thier sex or skin color. Color is an example of nominal variable.

Con’t2. Ordinal – it is defined by an operation whereby

members of a particular group are ranked. In this operation, we can state that one member is greater or less that the others in a criterion rather than saying that he/it is only equal or different from the others such as what is meant by the nominal variable.

3. Interval – this refers to a property defined by an operation which permits making statement of equality of intervals rather than just statement of sameness of difference and greater than or less than. An interval variable does not have a “true” zero point.; althought for convenience, a zero point may be assigned.

Con’t

4. Ratio – is defined by the operation which permits making statements of equality of ratios in addition to statements of sameness or difference, greater than or less than and equality or inequality of differences. This means that one level or value may be thought of or said as double, triple or five times another and so on.

Assignment no. 1

I. Make a list of at least 5 mathematician or scientist that contributes in the field of statistics. State their contributions

II. With your knowledge of statistics, give a real life situation how statistics is applied. Expand your answer.

III. When can a variable be considered independent and dependent? Give an example for your answer.

Con’t

IV. Enumerate some uses of statistics. Do you think that any science will develop without test of the hypothesis? Why?

Examples of Scales of Measurement

1.Nominal LevelEx. Sex: M-Male F-Female Marital Status: 1-single 2- married 3-

widowed 4- separated2. Ordinal LevelEx. Teaching Ratings: 1-poor 2-fair 3- good 4-

excellent

Con’t3. Interval LevelEx. IQ, temperature4. Ratio LevelEx. Age, no. of correct answers in exam

Data Collection Methods

1. Survey Method – questions are asked to obtain information, either through self administered questionnaire or personal interview.

2. Observation Method – makes possible the recording of behavior but only at the time of occurrence (ex. Traffic count, reactions to a particular stimulus)

Con’t3. Experimental method – a method designed for

collecting data under controlled conditions. An experiment is an operation where there is actual human interference with the conditions that can affect the variable under study.

4. Use of existing studies – that is census, health statistics, weather reports.

5. Registration method – that is car registration, student registration, hospital admission and ticket sales.

Tabular Representation

Frequency Distribution is defined as the arrangement of the gathered data by categories plus their corresponding frequencies and class marks or midpoint. It has a class frequency containing the number of observations belonging to a class interval. Its class interval contain a grouping defined by the limits called the lower and the upper limit. Between these limits are called class boundaries.

Frequency Distribution Table

Definition:1. Raw data – is the set of data in its original

form2. Array – an arrangement of observations

according to their magnitude, wither in increasing or decreasing order.

Advantages: easier to detect the smallest and largest value and easy to find the measures of position

Grouped Frequency of Interval Data

Given the following raw scores in Algebra Examination,

47 56 42 28 56 41 56 55 5978 50 55 57 38 62 52 66 6579 33 34 37 47 42 68 62 5480 68 48 56 39 77 80 62 7157 52 60 70

Con’t1. Compute the range: R = H – L and the number of

classes by K = 1 + 3.322log n where n = number of observations.

2. Divide the range by 10 to 15 to determine the acceptable size of the interval. Hint: most frequency distribution have odd numbers as the size of the interval. The advantage is that the midpoints of the intervals will be whole number.

3. Organize the class interval. See to it that the lowest interval begins with a number that is multiple of the interval size.

Con’t4. Tally each score to the category of class interval it

belongs to.5. Count the tally columns and summarizes it under

column (f). Then add the frequency which is the total number of the cases (N).

6. Determine the class boundaries. UCB and LCB.(upper and lower class boundary)

7. Compute the midpoint for each class interval and put it in the column (M).

M = (LS + HS) / 2

Con’t8. Compute the cumulative distribution for less

than and greater than and put them in column cf< and cf>. (you can now interpret the data). cf = cumulative frequency

9. Compute the relative frequency distribution. This can be obtained by

RF% = CF/TF x 100% CF = CLASS FREQUENCY TF = TOTAL FREQUENCY

Graphical RepresentationThe data can be graphically

presented according to their scale or level of measurements.

1. Pie chart or circle graph. The pie chart at the right is the enrollment from elementary to master’s degree of a certain university. The total population is 4350 students

Con’t2. Histogram or bar graph- this graphical

representation can be used in nominal, ordinal or interval. For nominal bar graph, the bars are far apart rather than connected since the categories are not continuous. For ordinal and interval data, the bars should be joined to emphasize the degree of differences

Given the bar graph of how students rate their library.

Quartiles refer to the values that divide the distribution into four equal parts. There are 3 quartiles represented by Q1 , Q2 and Q3. The value Q1 refers to the value in the distribution that falls on the first one fourth of the distribution arranged in magnitude. In the case of Q2 or the second quartile, this value corresponds to the median. In the case of third quartile or Q3, this value corresponds to three fourths of the distribution.

Measure of VariationThe range is considered to be the simplest form

of measure of variation. It is the difference between the highest and the lowest value in the distribution.

R = H – LFor grouped data, the3 difference between the

highest upper class boundary and the lowest lower class boundary.

Example: find the range of the given grouped data in slide no. 59

Semi-inter Quartile Range

This value is obtained by getting one half of the difference between the third and the first quartile.

Q = (Q3 – Q1)/2

Example: Find the semin-interquartile range of the

previous example in slide no. 59

Average DeviationThe average deviation refers to the arithmetic

mean of the absolute deviations of the values from the mean of the distribution. This measure is sometimes known as the mean absolute deviation.

AD = Σ│x – x’│/ nWhere x = the individual values x’ = mean of the distribution

Steps in solving for AD1. Arrange the values in column according to

magnitude2. Compute for the value of the mean x’3. Determine the deviations (x – x’)4. Convert the deviations in step 3 into positive

deviations. Use the absolute value sign.5. Get the sum of the absolute deviations in

step 46. Divide the sum in step 5 by n.

Example:1. Consider the following values:16, 13, 9, 6, 15, 7, 11, 12Find the average deviation.

For grouped data:AD = Σf│x – x’│ / nWhere f = frequency of each class x = midpoint of each class x’ = mean of the distribution n = total number of frequency

Example:Find the average deviation of the given dataClasses f 11-22 223-34 835-46 1147-58 1959-70 1471-82 583-94 1

VarianceFor ungrouped datas2 = Σ(x – x’)2 / nExample: Find the variance of16, 13, 9, 6, 15, 7, 11, 12

For grouped datas2 = Σf(x – x’)2 / nWhere f = frequency of each class x = midpoint of each class interval x’ = mean of the distribution n = total number of frequency

Example: Find the variance of the given dataClasses f 11-22 223-34 835-46 1147-58 1959-70 1471-82 583-94 1

Coefficient of variationIf you wish to compare the variability between

different sets of scores or data, coefficient of variation would be very useful measure for interval scale data

CV = s/xWhere s = standard deviation x = the mean

Example:In a particular university, a researcher wishes to

compare the variation in scores of the urban students with that of the scores of the rural students in their college entrance test. It is know that the urban student’s mean score is 384 with a standard deviation of 101; while among the rural students, the mean is 174, with a standard deviation of 53, which group shows more variation in scores?

Standard Deviation

s = √s2

For ungrouped data s = √ Σ(x – x’)2 / nFor grouped datas = √ Σf(x – x’)2 / n

Find the standard deviation of the previous examples for ungrouped and grouped data.

SIMPLE LINEAR REGRESSION AND MEASURES OF CORRELATION

In this topic, you will learn how to predict the value of one dependent variable from the corresponding given value of the independent variable.

The scatter diagram:In solving problems that concern estimation and

forecasting, a scatter diagram can be used as a graphical approach. This technique consist of joining the points corresponding to the paired scores of dependent and independent variables which are commonly represented by X and Y on the X-Y coordinate system.

Example:The working experience and income of 8 employees are given

belowEmployee years of income experience (in Thousands) X Y A 2 8 B 8 10 C 4 11 D 11 15 E 5 9 F 13 17 G 4 8 H 15 14

Using the Least Squares Linear Regression Equation:

Y = a + bXWhere b = [nΣxy – ΣxΣy] / [nΣx2 – (Σx)2] a = y’ – bx’Obtain the equation of the given data and

estimate the income of an employee if the number of years experience is 20 years.

Standard Error of Estimate Se = √ [ΣYi

2 – a(Yi) – b(XiYi)] / n-2

The standard error of estimate is interpreted as the standard deviation. We will find that the same value of X will always fall between the upper and lower 3Se limits.

Measures of CorrelationThe degree of relationship between variables is

expressed into:1. Perfect correlation (positive or negative)2. Some degree of correlation (positive or

negative)3. No correlation

For a perfect correlation, it is either positive or negative represented by +1 and -1. correlation coefficients, positive or negative, is represented by +0.01 to +0.99 and -0.01 to -0.99. The no correlation is represented by 0.

0 to +0.25 very small positive correlation+0.26 to +0.50 moderately small positive correlation+0.51 to +0.75 high positive correlation+0.76 to +0.99 very high positive correlation+1.00 perfect positive correlation----------------------------------------------------------0 to -0.25 very small negative correlation-0.26 to -0.50 moderately small positive correlation-0.51 to -0.75 high negative correlation-0.76 to -0.99 very high negative correlation-1.00 perfect negative correlation

Anybody who wants to interpret the results of the coefficient of correlation should be guided by the following reminders:

1. The relationship of two variables does no necessarily mean that one is the cause of the effect of the other variable. It does not imply cause-effect relationship.

2. When the computed Pearson r is high, it does not necessarily mean that one factor is strongly dependent on the other. On the other hand, when the computed Pearson r is small it does not necessarily mean that one factor has no dependence on the other.

3. If there is a reason to believe that the two variables are related and the computed Pearson r is high, these two variables are really meant as associated. On the other hand, if the variables correlated are low, other factors might be responsible for such small association.

4. Lastly, the meaning of correlation coefficient just simply informs us that when two variables change there may be a strong or weak relationship taking place.

The formula for finding the Pearson r is [nΣXY – ΣXΣY] r = ------------------------------ √[nΣX2 – (ΣX)2] [nΣY2 – (ΣY)2]

Example: Given two sets of scores. Find the Pearson r and interpret the result.

Correlation between Ordinal DataThis is the Spearman Rank-Order Correlation

Coefficient (Spearman Rho). For cases of 30 or less, Spearman ρ is the most widely used of the rank correlation method.

6ΣD2

ρ = 1 - ----------- n(n2 – 1)Where D = (RX – RY)

Gamma Rank OrderAn alternative to the rank order correlation is

the Goodman’s and Kruskal’s Gamma (G).The value of one variable can be estimated or

predicted from the other variable when you have the knowledge of their values. The gamma can also be used when ties are found in the ranking of the data.

NS - N1

G = ----------------- NS + N1

Where NS = the number of pairs ordered in the parallel direction

N1 = the number of pairs ordered in the opposite direction

ProbabilityIn the study of probability, we shall consider activities

for which the outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty. These activities, called experiment, could always result in a single outcome. Although the single outcome can not be predicted before the performance of the experiment, the set of all possible outcomes can be determined. This set of all possible outcomes is referred to as sample space. Each individual element or outcome in a sample space is known as a sample point.

Definition of terms:1. Random experiment- any process of

generating a set of data or observations that can be repeated under basically the same conditions, which lead to well defined outcomes.

2. Sample space – set of all possible outcomes of an experiment, usually denoted by S.

3. Sample point- an element of the sample space or outcomes.

4. event- any subset of the sample space usually denoted by capital letters.

5. Null space- a subset of the sample space that contains no elements and denoted by the symbol Ø.

6. Simple event – an event which contains only one element of the sample space.

7. Compound event – an event that can be expressed as the union of the simple events, thus containing more than one sample points.

8. Mutually exclusive events- two events A and B are mutually exclusive if A∩B have no elements in common.

The probability of a event A denoted by P(A) is the sum of the probabilities of mutually exclusive outcomes that constitute the event. It must satisfy the following properties:

0 ≤ P(A) ≤ 1

Example:1. Consider the activity of rolling a die. This activity has

6 possible outcomes, that is 1,2,3,4,5 and 6. thus, S = {1,2,3,4,5,6}Any numbers 1 to 6 is a sample point of S. we can say

that there are 6 sample points. If we let A be the event of getting an even number and B an event of getting a perfect square, then

A = {2,4,6} and B = {1,4}Note that the elements of A are elements of the

sample space S. the number of sample points in a sample space S, events A and B are usually written as n(S) = 6, n(A) = 3 and n(B) = 2.

2. If a pair of dice is rolled, then determine the number of sample points of the following:

a. Sample spaceb. Event of getting a sum of 5.c. Event of getting a sum of at most 4.3. A box contains 6 red and 4 green balls. If three

balls are drawn from the box, then determine the number of sample points of the following:

a. The sample spaceb. The event of getting all green ballsc. The event of getting 1 red and 2 green balls.

Probability is the chance that an event will happen. The probability of an event A denoted by P(A) refers to the number between 0 and 1 including the values of 0 and 1. This number can be expressed as a fraction, as a decimal or as a percent. When we assign a probability of 0 to event A, it means that it is impossible for event A to occur. When event A is assigned a probability of 1, then we say that event A will really occur.

P(A) + P(A)’ = 1The probability of occurrence plus the

probability of non-occurrence is always equal to 1.

Example:A student in a statistics class was able to

compute the probability of passing the subject to be equal to 0.55. Based on this information, what is the probability that he is not going to pass the subject?

Three approaches of probability:1. Subjective probability- it is determine by the use of

intuition, personal beliefs and other indirect information.

2. A posteriori or probability of relative frequency (empirical probability) – it is determined by repeating the experiment a large number of times using the following rule:

no. of times event A occurred P(A) = --------------------------------------------------- no. of times experiment was repeated

Example:Records show that 120 out of 500 students who

entered in a CS/IT programs leave the school due to financial problems. What is the probability that a freshman entering this college will leave the school due to financial problem?

2. Last year, the efficiency rating of the employees of a certain company were taken and presented in a frequency distribution below:

Efficiency rating no. of employees 60-65 12 66-71 10 72-77 31 78-83 29 84-89 8Based on the data, what can we say about the

proportion of employees for this year who shall have an efficiency rating from 72-77 and 84-89?

3. A Priori or classical probability – it is determined even before the experiment is performed using the following rule:

n(A)P(A) = -------- n(S)Where n(A) = no. of sample points in event A n(S) = no. of sample points in sample

space S.

1. If a coin is tossed , what is the probability of getting a head?

2. If two coins are tossed, what is the probability of getting both heads?

3. If a die is rolled, what is the probability of getting an odd number? An even number? A perfect square?

4. If a pair of dice is rolled, what is the probability of getting a sum of 6? A sum of 13?

5. The probability that a college student without a flu shot will get the flu is 0.42.what is the probability that a college student without the flu shot will not get the flu?

6. A box contains 7 red and 6 green balls. If 2 balls are drawn from the box, what is the probability of getting both green? 1 red and 1 green?

Addition Rule:In practice, the probability of two or more

events are usually considered. If we let A and B be events then these two events can be combined to form another event. The event that at least one of the events A or B will happen is denoted by AUB. The event that both events A and B will occur is denoted by A∩B. The probability of AUB denoted by P(AUB) is given by

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A∩B)

Two events A and B are said to be mutually exclusive if they can not occur both at the same time. This implies that the occurrence of event A excludes the occurrence of event B and vice versa. Therefore, P(A∩B) has no sample point which is equal to 0. The previous equation will be

P(AUB) = P(A) + P(B)

1. Consider rolling a die and the events of getting an odd number, an even number and a perfect square. Determine the probability of getting

a. An odd or an even number.b. An even number or a perfect square. (this

implies that the two events can occur both at the same time. Therefore the two events are non-mutually exclusive events)

Conditional Probability and Multiplication Rule

It is the probability that a second event will occur if the first event already happened. Symbolically, conditional probability is written as P(A/B) and is read as the probability of event A given that B has occurred. The computing formula for the conditional probability of A given B is given by

P(A/B) = P(A∩B)/P(B), provided P(B) is not equal to zero.

Normal DistributionThe normal probability curve is one of the most

commonly used theoretical distributions in statistical inference. The mathematical equation of the normal curve was developed by De Moivre in 1773. the distribution is sometimes called the Gaussian distribution in honor of Gauss, who also derived the equation in the 19th century.

Con’tA large population investigated in education and

the behavioral sciences has characteristics that follow a normal distribution. If we are to study, for instance, the scholastic mental capacity of a school population N= 1500, we may find that majority of the student population will yield average scores, a small portion will yield above and below average scores and a few students will yield extremely high and low scores.

Con’tThe characteristics of the Normal Curve is1. The curve is symmetrical and bell shaped. It

has its highest point at the center. The lines at both sides fall off toward the opposite directions at exactly equal distance from the center. Therefore if the curve is folded at the middle, the two sides are perfectly of the same size and shape.

Con’t2. The number of cases, N, is infinite. This is the

reason why the curve is asymptotic to the baseline which means that the curve at both sides does not touch the baseline or the axis, and that the curve may extend infinitely to both directions.

3. The three measures of central tendency, mean, median and mode coincide at one point at the center of the distribution.

Con’t4. The height of the curve indicate the frequency

of cases, expressed as probability, proportion or percentage. Hence, the total area under the normal curve is 1.0 in terms of probability or proportion and 100% in terms of percentage. Thus one half of the area is 50%

5. The basic unit of measurement is expressed in sigma units (σ) or standard deviations along the baseline. It is also called Z-scores.

Con’t6. Two parameters are used to describe the

curve. One is the parameter mean(μ or x’) which is equal to zero and the other is the standard deviation(σ) which is equal to 1.

7. Standard deviations or A scores departing away from the mean (μ or x’) towards the right of the curve is in positive while scores departing from the mean is in negative values.

The normal probability curve

From the previous curveWe can say that,1.At least 68% of the values in the given set of

data fall within plus or minus 1 standard deviation from the mean. In symbols, the interval is given by (x’ – 1σ) – (x’ + 1σ).

2.At least 95% of the value in the given set of data fall within plus or minus 2 standard deviation from the mean. In symbol, the interval is (x’ – 2σ) – (x’ + 2σ) and so on.

To illustrate the significance of the empirical rule, consider the NCEE scores of students in a certain college whose mean score x’ or μ = 65 and the standard deviation σ or SD = 6

1. approximately, 68% of the students in that college have NCEE scores between 80 plus or minus 10, that is

65 – (1)(6) – 65 + (1)(6) 59 - 71

The Standard ScoreThe standard score Z represents a normal

distribution with mean x’ = 0 and SD = 1. such transformation can be obtained by using the formula below.

Z = (x – x’) / SD

Normal Curve AreasThe total area under the normal curve is equal

to 1. since a normally distributed set of data is symmetric, then the total area from Z = 0 to the right is equal to 0.5. the area from Z = 0 to the left is also equal to 0.5.

Example:Find the area under the curve from 1.0<Z<1.252. -1.25<Z<0

Normal Probability DistributionFind the probability value of1.P(Z>1.45)2. P(Z<-0.4)3. P(-0.4<Z<1.45)4. P(1.15<Z<2.33)5. P(Z<1.28)6. P(Z>-1.04)

Con’t7. The examination results of a large group of

students in statistics are normally distributed with a mean of 40 and a standard deviation of 4. If a student is chosen at random, what is the probability that his score is

a. Below 30?b.Above 55?c. Below 42?d.Between 35 to 45?e.Between 33 to 50?

Con’t8. The efficiency rating of 400 faculty members of a

certain university were taken and resulted in a mean rating of 78 with a standard deviation of 6.75. assuming that the set of data are normally distributed, how many of the faculty members have an efficiency rating of
