    Basic
    Terminologies

    Statistics defined..
    STATISTICS is a collection of methods
    for planning experiment, obtaining
    data, and then organizing,
    summarizing, presenting, analyzing,
    interpreting and drawing
    conclusions based on the data.

    4

    Descriptive Statistics
    - summarize or describe the
    important characteristics of a known
    set of population data
    Main
    Divisions Inferential Statistics
    -use sample data to make
    inferences (or generalizations)
    about a population

    Population vs. Sample

    A POPULATION is the complete collection of


    elements (scores, people, measurements,
    and so on)

    A SAMPLE is a portion / subset of elements


    drawn from a population

    10

    Parameter vs. Statistic

    A PARAMETER is a numerical measurement


    describing some characteristics of a
    population

    A STATISTIC is a numerical measurement


    describing some characteristic of a sample

    11

    Qualitative vs. Quantitative Data

    Qualitative (categorical or attribute) data


    can be separated into different categories
    that are distinguished by some non –
    numerical characteristics

    Quantitative data consists of numbers


    representing counts or measurements

    12

    6
    9/5/2020

    Discrete vs Continuous Data

    Discrete data result from either a finite number


    of possible values or a countable number of
    possible values (that is, the number of possible
    values are 0, 1, 2, or more)

    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

    13

    Dependent vs Independent Variable

    Dependent variable – the variable that is


    being affected/explained

    Independent variable – the variable that


    affects/ explains

    14

    Nominal Level of Measurement

    The nominal level of measurement is


    characterized by data that consists of names,
    labels or categories only. The data cannot be
    arranged in an ordering scheme

    Examples:
    gender of employees, civil status, nationality,
    religion, etc

    15

    Ordinal Level of Measurement

    The ordinal level of measurement involves


    data that may be arranged in some order,
    but differences between data values are
    either meaningless or cannot be determined.

    Examples:
    good, better or best speakers; 1 star, 2 star or
    3 star movie; rank of an employee

    16

    Interval Level of Measurement

    The interval level of measurement is like the


    ordinal level, with the additional property that
    meaningful amounts of differences between
    data can be determined. However, there are
    no inherent (natural) zero starting point

    Examples:
    body temperature, year (2013, 2015, 2020 etc)

    17

    Ratio Level of Measurement

    The ratio level of measurement is the interval


    modified to include the inherent zero starting
    point. For values at this level, differences and
    ratios are meaningful.

    Examples:
    weights, lengths, distance traveled
