    A Brief History Of Statistic

    By the 18th century, the term " statistics" designated thesystematic collection of demographic and economic data bystates. In the early 19th century, the meaning of "statistics"broadened, then including the discipline concerned with thecollection, summary, and analysis of data. Today statistics iswidely employed in government, business, and all the sciences.Electronic computers have expedited statistical computation, andhave allowed statisticians to develop "computer -intensive"methods.

    The term "mathematical statistics" designates the

    mathematical theories of probability and statistical inference,which are used in statistical practice. The relation betweenstatistics and probability theory developed rather late, however.In the 19th century, statistics increasingly used probabilitytheory, whose initial results were found in the17th and 18thcenturies, particularly in the analysis of games of chance

    (gambling). By 1800, astronomy used probability models andstatistical theories, particularly the method of least squares,which was invented by Legendre and Gauss. Early probabilitytheory and statistics was systematized and extended by Laplace;

    following Laplace, probability and statistics have been in continualdevelopment.

    In the 19th century, social scientists used statistical r

    easoning and probability models to advance the new sciences of experimental psychology and sociology; physical scientists usedstatistical reasoning and probability models to advance the newsciences of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics.

    The development of statistical reasoning was closelyassociated with the development of inductive logic and thescientific method. Statistics is not a field of mathematics but anautonomous mathematical science , like computer science oroperations research. Unlike mathematics, statistics had its originsin public administration and maintains a special concern withdemography and economics. Being concerned with the scientificmethod and inductive logic, statistical theory has closeassociation with the philosophy of science ; with its emphasis onlearning from data and making best predictions, statistics hasgreat overlap with the decision science and microeconomics.With its concerns with data, statistics has overlap withinformation science and computer science .

    Statistics Today

    During the 20th century, the creation of precise instrumentsfor agricultural research, public health concerns (epidemiology,biostatistics, etc.),industrial quality control, and economic andsocial purposes (unemployment rate, econometry, etc.)necessitated substantial advances in statistical practices.

    Today the use of statistics has broadened far beyond itsorigins. Individuals and organizations use statistics to understand

    data and make informed decisions throughout the natural andsocial sciences, medicine, business, and other areas. Statistics isgenerally regarded not as a subfield of mathematics but rather asa distinct, albeit allied, field. Many universities maintain separatemathematics and stati stics departments. Statistics is also taughtin departments as diverse as psychology, education, and publichealth.

    Index Number

    Index numbers are today one of the most widely usedstatistical indicators. Generally used to indicate the state of theeconomy, index numbers are aptly called barometers of economic activity. Index numbers are used in comparingproduction, sales or changes exports or imports over a certainperiod of time. The role-played by index numbers in Indian tradeand industry is impossible to ignore. It is a very well known factthat the wage contracts of workers in our country are tied to thecost of living index numbers.

    By definition, an index number is a statistical measuredesigned to show changes in a variable or a group or relatedvariables with respect to time, geographic location or othercharacteristics such as income, profession, etc.

  • 8/9/2019 Additional Mathematics Project 4 (completed)

    10/43

    Characteristics of an Index Numbers

    1. These are expressed as a percentage: Index number iscalculated as a ratio of the current value to a base value andexpressed as a percentage. It must be clearly understood that the

    index number for the base year is always 100. An index number iscommonly referred to as an index.

    2. Index numbers are specialized averages: An index number isan average with a difference. An index number is used forpurposes of comparison in cases where the series beingcompared could be expressed in different units i.e. amanufactured products index (a part of the whole sale priceindex) is constructed using items like Dairy Products, Sugar,

    Edible Oils, Tea and Coffee, etc. These items naturally areexpressed in different units like sugar in kgs, milk in liters, etc.

    The index number is obtained as a result of an average of allthese items, which are expressed in different units. On the otherhand, average is a single figure representing a group expressed inthe same units.

    3. Index numbers measures changes that are not directly

    measurable: An index number is used for measuring themagnitude of changes in such phenomenon, which are notcapable of direct measurement. Index numbers essentiallycapture the changes in the group of related variables over aperiod of time. For example, if the index of industrial production is215.1 in 1992-93 (base year 1980-81) it means that the industrial

  • 8/9/2019 Additional Mathematics Project 4 (completed)

    11/43

    production in that year was up by 2.15 times compared to 1980-81. But it does not, however, mean that the net increase in theindex reflects an equivalent increase in industrial production in allsectors of the industry. Some sectors might have increased their

    production more than 2.15 times while other sectors may haveincreased their production only marginally.

    Uses of index numbers

    1. Establishes trends

    Index numbers when analyzed reveal a general trend of thephenomenon under study. For eg. Index numbers of unemployment of the country not only reflects the trends in thephenomenon but are useful in determining factors leading tounemployment.

    2 . Helps in policy making

    It is widely known that the dearness allowances paid to theemployees is linked to the cost of living index, generally theconsumer price index. From time to time it is the cost of livingindex, which forms the basis of many a wages agreementbetween the employees union and the employer. Thus indexnumbers guide policy making.

    3. Determines purchasing power of the rupee

    Usually index numbers are used to determine the purchasingpower of the rupee. Suppose the consumers price index for urbannon-manual employees increased from 100 in 1984 to 202 in1992, the real purchasing power of the rupee can be found out as

  • 8/9/2019 Additional Mathematics Project 4 (completed)

    12/43

    follows: 100/202=0.495 It indicates that if rupee was worth 100paise in 1984 its purchasing power is 49.5 paise in 1992.

    4. Deflates time series data

    Index numbers play a vital role in adjusting the original data toreflect reality. For example, nominal income(income at currentprices) can be transformed into real income(reflecting the actualpurchasing power) by using income deflators. Similarly, assumethat industrial production is represented in value terms as a

    product of volume of production and price. If the subsequentyears industrial production were to be higher by 20% in value,the increase may not be as a result of increase in the volume of production as one would have it but because of increase in theprice. The inflation which has caused the increase in the series

    can be eliminated by the usage of an appropriate price index andthus making the series real.

    Types of index numbers

    Three are three types of principal indices. They are:

    1. Price Index

    The most frequently used form of index numbers is the priceindex. A price index compares charges in price of edible oils. If anattempt is being made to compare the prices of edible oils thisyear to the prices of edible oils last year, it involves, firstly, acomparison of two price situations over time and secondly, theheterogeneity of the edible oils given the various varieties of oils.By constructing a price index number, we are summarizing theprice movements of each type of oil in this group of edible oilsinto a single number called the price index. The Whole Price Index(WPI). Consumer Price Index (CPI) are some of the popularly usedprice indices.

    2 . Quantity Index

    A quantity index measures the changes in quantity from oneperiod to another. If in the above example, instead of the price of

    edible oils, we are interested in the quantum of production of edible oils in those years, then we are comparing quantities in twodifferent years or over a period of time. It is the quantity indexthat needs to be constructed here. The popular quantity indexused in this country and elsewhere is the index of industrialproduction (HP). The index of industrial production measures the

  • 8/9/2019 Additional Mathematics Project 4 (completed)

    14/43

    increase or decrease in the level of industrial production in agiven period compared to some base period.

    3. Value Index

    The value index is a combination index. It combines price andquantity changes to present a more spatial comparison. The valueindex as such measures changes in net monetary worth. Thoughthe value index enables comparison of value of a commodity in ayear to the value of that commodity in a base year, it has limiteduse. Usually value index is used in sales, inventories, foreigntrade, etc. Its limited use is owing to the inability of the valueindex to distinguish the effects of price and quantity separately.

    15/43

    Calculating index number

    Index number Is a measure used to show the change of acertain quantity for a stated period of time by choosing a specifictime as the base year. In general an index number is thecomparison of a quantity at two different times and is expressedas a percentage.

    I = i ndex number

    Q1 = quantity at specific time

    Qo = quantity at base time

    The composite index is the weighted mean for all the itemsin a certain situation.

    =

    = Composite index

    W = weightage

    I = index number

    Part 1The prices of good sold in shops are vary from one shop to

    another. Shoppers tend to buy goods which are not onlyreasonably priced but also give value for their money. I hadcarried out a survey on four different items based on the followingcategories which is food, detergent and stationery. The surveywas done in three different shops. Informations below shows theresults from my research.

    Question (D)

  • 8/9/2019 Additional Mathematics Project 4 (completed)

    20/43

    Based on all the graph in question 1(C) , we can concludethat Mydin Mall offers the lowest price for their customers. Thenfollowed by Si Comel and Embat Shop. This is because thesupplier of the Mydin Mall gives the special price for it as it buy by

    bulk. Si comel offer the normal price for their customer as it doesnot get special price from the supplier. While, Embat Shop have tosold the items at the higher price because the shop buy the itemsby bulk from Mydin Mall.

    Other factors that influenced the prices of goods in the shopsis such as the location of the shop, the population of the

    customers, the status of the shop, the size of the shop, and therent for the shop.

    Mydin Mall can offer the lowest price because it is situated atstratergic place so indirectly this factor can attract customer buyat the mall. When there are many customers, the demand of theitems will be high and the mall can buy by bulk directly with the

    supplier to get the special price. The status of the shop alsoinfluenced the price of the goods sold. As example the shop withstatus mall will offer the lowest price than the shop with statusmini market. The size of the shop also will influenced the price.When the size of the shop is bigger its mean it can sell manydifferent items in the shop. Indirectly the shop will known as onestop center and it will attract many customers as the peoplenowadays are very busy. Mydin Mall is a bigmall and it providesmany items that we need in our life. Eventhough Mydin Mall haveto pay rent for the place, but it not gives too much effects to theprice of goods sold as it has many buyers.

  • 8/9/2019 Additional Mathematics Project 4 (completed)

    21/43

    Si Comel and Embat Shop cannot offer the prices as MydinMall because they are situated outside the urban area like MydinMall. So the population of the customer will not be as many ascustomer in Mydin Mall. These shops get the supply for their

    goods from Mydin Mall. Even they buy by bulk with Mydin Mall buttheir prices still will be higher than Mydin Mall. The size of theseshop also small and cannot provide too much goods for theircustomers. They just sold basic needed for their customers. Asthey not have too much customers, so the rent that they have topay will influenced the price of the goods sold.

    As a conclusion, there are many factors that affect the price of the goods solds in a shop. So, we must be a smart customer toensure we can get the lowest price. The graph below will showthe conclusion of the difference among the shops based upon theshops grand total.

    Question (e)

    The item that has large price different among the shops ismarker. Mydin Mall sold it at RM 3.00, Si Comel sold it at RM3.90while Embat Shop sold it at RM 3.60.

    Calculate the mean

    Calculate the standard deviation

    Or

  • 8/9/2019 Additional Mathematics Project 4 (completed)

    23/43

    0.3742

    The difference of the price of the marker in these threeshops is maybe due to the price given by the supplier to theshops. Mydin Mall can sold it at lowest prices because thedemand of the buyers for the the item is high so it can buy bybulk with the supplier. So the shop can get the special price. Thedemand of the item in Embat Shop and Si Comel are low. This isbecause the customers are more interested to buy the stationeryitems in mall or stationery shops as there are more options tochoose. So Embat Shop and Si Comel cannot buy by bulk thestationery items with their supplier.

    Part 2Every year my school organises a carnival to raise funds for

    the school. This year my school plans to install air conditioners inthe school library. Last year, during the carnival, my class madeand sold butter cakes. Because of the popularity of butter cakes,my class has decided to carry out the same project for this yearscarnival.

    Question (a)

    From the data in Part 1, I would go to Mydin Mall to purchase theingredients for the butter cakes. This is because Mydin Mall offersthe lowest price among the shops for the items I want to buy. Somy class will able to sold the butter cakes at the low price and getsome profits form the sale. Futhermore, Mydin Mall is located notfar from my school. So it is easier to my friends and I to go there.

    Thus, the suitable price for the butter cake for the year2010 is RM 16.20. The increase in price is also suitablebecause of the rise in the price of the ingredients

    Question (c)

    (i) To determine suitable capacity of air conditioner tobe installed based on volume/ size of a room

  • 8/9/2019 Additional Mathematics Project 4 (completed)

    27/43

    For common usage, air conditioner is rated according tohorse power (1HP), which is approximately 700W to 1000W of electrical power. It is suitable for a room size 1000ft which isaround 27m of volume. If we buy an air conditioner with 3HP, it is

    suitable for a room around 81m.

    (ii) Estimate the volume of school library

    By using a measuring tape, the dimension for thelibrary is:

    Height=3.6mWidth=9.0m

    Length=20.12m

    Volume of the room=3.6 x 9.0 x 20.12

    =651.90

    One unit of air conditioner with 3HP is for 81

    For

    8.048

    This means our school library needs 8 unit of airconditioner.

    (ii) My class intends to sponsor one air conditioner forthe school library. The calculation below is to find

    AIR POLLUTION INDEX

    Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals, particulatematter, or biological materials that cause harm or discomfort tohumans or other living organisms, or damages the naturalenvironment into the atmosphere. The atmosphere is a complexdynamic natural gaseous system that is essential to support lifeon planet Earth. Stratospheric ozone depletion due to air pollutionhas long been recognized as a threat to human health as well asto the Earth's ecosystems.

    The Air Quality Index (AQI) (also known as the Air PollutionIndex (API) or Pollutant Standard Index (PSI) is a number used bygovernment agencies to characterize the quality of the air at agiven location. As the AQI increases, an increasingly largepercentage of the population is likely to experience increasinglysevere adverse health effects. To compute the AQI requires an airpollutant concentration from a monitor or model. The functionused to convert from air pollutant concentration to AQI varies bypollutant, and is different in different countries. Air quality indexvalues are divided into ranges, and each range is assigned adescriptor and a color code. Standardized public health advisories

  • 8/9/2019 Additional Mathematics Project 4 (completed)

    34/43

    are associated with each AQI range. An agency might alsoencourage members of the public to take public transportation orwork from home when AQI levels are high.

    Limitations of the AQIMost air contaminants do not have an associated AQI. Manycountries monitor ground-level ozone, particulates, sulphurdioxide, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide and calculate airquality indices for these pollutants.

    Causes of Poor Air Quality

    The AQI can worsen (go up) due to lack of dilution of air emissions

    by fresh air. Stagnant air, often caused by an anticyclone ortemperature inversion, or other lack of winds lets air pollutionremain in a local area.

    Indices by location

    South Korea

    The Ministry of Environment of South Korea uses theComprehensice Air-quality Index (CAI) to describe the ambient airquality based on health risk of air pollution. The index aims tohelp the public easily understand air quality level and protect thehealth of people from air pollution. - The CAI has values of 0through 500, which are divided into six categories. The higher theCAI value, the greater the level of air pollution. - Of values of thefive air pollutants, the highest is the CAI value.

    Types of indices

    A national index represents the performance of the stock marketof a given nationand by proxy, reflects investor sentiment onthe state of its economy. The most regularly quoted market

    indices are national indices composed of the stocks of largecompanies listed on a nation's largest stock exchanges, such asthe American S&P 500, the Japanese Nikkei 225, and the BritishFTSE 100.

    The concept may be extended well beyond an exchange. TheWilshire 5000 Index, the original total market index, representsthe stocks of nearly every publicly traded company in the UnitedStates, including all U.S. stocks traded on the New York Stock

    Exchange (but not ADRs or Limited Partnerships), NASDAQ andAmerican Stock Exchange. Russell Investment Group added to thefamily of indices by launching the Russell Global Index.

    More specialised indices exist tracking the performance of specific sectors of the market. Some examples include theWilshire US REIT which tracks more than 80 American Real EstateInvestment Trusts and the Morgan Stanley Biotech Index whichconsists of 36 American firms in the biotechnology industry. Otherindices may track companies of a certain size, a certain type of management, or even more specialized criteria one indexpublished by Linux Weekly News tracks stocks of companies thatsell products and services based on the Linux operatingenvironment.

    Index versions

    Some indices, such as the S&P 500, have multiple versions. These versions can differ based on how the index components areweighted and on how dividends are accounted for. For example,there are three versions of the S&P 500 index: price return, whichonly considers the price of the components, total return, whichaccounts for dividend reinvestment, and net total return, whichaccounts for dividend reinvestment after the deduction of awithholding tax. As another example, the Wilshire 4500 andWilshire 5000 indices have five versions each: full capitalizationtotal return, full capitalization price, float-adjusted total return,float-adjusted price, and equal weight. The difference betweenthe full capitalization, float-adjusted, and equal weight versions isin how index components are weighted.
