Introduction to Statistics
![Page 3: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Some Statistical Terms
![Page 4: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
1.) Data is any quantitative or qualitative information.
a.) Quantitative data refers to numerical information
obtained from counting or measuring that which be
manipulated by any fundamental operation.
Examples:
age, I.Q. scores, height, weight, income
![Page 5: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
b.) Qualitative data refers to descriptive attributes
that cannot be subjected to mathematical
operations.
Examples:
gender, citizenship, educational attainment,
religion
![Page 6: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
2.) Population refers to the totality of all the
elements or persons for which one has an interest at
a particular time.
![Page 7: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
For example, the members of the faculty of a school,
the graduating class, the Visayan-speaking
employees of a company, the male students, etc. A
particular variable of a population can be associated
to the population.
![Page 8: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A researcher may associate a population to the ages
of graduating students,, the I.Q. scores of the
employees, the income of single parent, and so on.
The usual notation for population is N.
![Page 9: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
3.) Sample is a part of population determined by
sampling procedures. It is usually denoted by n.
![Page 10: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
4.) Parameter is any statistical information or
attribute taken from a population. It is a true value or
actual statistics since its source is the population
itself.
![Page 11: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
5.) Statistic is any estimate of statistical attributes
taken from a sample.
![Page 12: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
6.) Variable is a specific factor, property, or
characteristic of a population or a sample which
differentiates a sample or group of samples from
another group.
![Page 13: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
For example, the score obtained from a coeducation
class may differ by gender. Hence, gender is
considered variable. In a catholic congregation,
religion cannot be considered a variable since every
member the population is Catholic.
![Page 14: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
a.) Discrete variable is a variable that can be
obtained by counting. Examples: the number of
cellphone users in a company, the number of
computers in the laboratory.
![Page 15: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
b.) Continues variable is a variable that can be
obtained by measuring objects or attributes.
Examples: the weight of students, the temperature
in a city over a period of time, the area of
classrooms.
![Page 16: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Definition of Statistics
![Page 17: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Statistics is a branch of Mathematics that deals
with the scientific collection, organization,
presentation, analysis, and interpretation of
numerical data in order to obtain useful and
meaningful information.
![Page 18: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Collection of data refers to the process of
obtaining information.
![Page 19: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Organization of data refers to the
ascertaining manner of presenting the data
into tables, graphs, or charts so that logical
and statistical conclusions can be drawn
from the collected measurements.
![Page 20: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Analysis of data refers to the process of
extracting from the given data relevant
information from which numerical description
can be formulated.
![Page 21: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Interpretation of data refers to the task of
drawing conclusions from the analyzed data.
![Page 22: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Branches of Statistics
![Page 23: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
1.) Descriptive Statistics
The branch of statistics that focuses on
collecting, summarizing, and presenting a
set of data.
![Page 24: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Examples:
a.) The average age of citizens who voted for
the winning candidate in the last presidential
election.
b.) The average length of all books about
statistics.
![Page 25: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
2.) Inferential Statistics
The branch of Statistics that analyzes
sample data to draw conclusions about a
population.
![Page 26: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Examples:
a.) For instance, suppose a survey group wants to
know the prevailing sentiments among Filipino
people on a certain issue. Asking every Filipino to
answer a questionnaire would be impossible. It is
expensive, time-consuming, and impractical.
Instead, a small part of the entire population is
scientifically chosen. The data gathered from this
group is used to draw a general opinion of the entire
population.
![Page 27: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
b.) A survey that sampled 2001 full or part-time
workers ages 50 to 70, conducted by the American
Association of Retired Persons (AARP), discovered
that 70% those polled planned to work past the
traditional mid-60s retirement age. By using
inferential statistics, this statistics could be used to
draw conclusions about the population of all
workers ages 50 to 70.
![Page 28: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

The processing of statistical information has a history
that extends back to the beginning of humanity.
* As early as 3800 B.C., there were records of
population in Babylonia and in China.
![Page 30: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

* In biblical times, the census was undertaken by
Moses in 1491 B.C. and by David in 1017 B.C..
* Indian literature dating back to the reign of the
northern Hindustan King Asoka (270-230 B.C.) also
described methods of taking census.

* The Athenians and other ancient Greeks conducted
the census in times of stress, counting the adult
male citizens in war time and the general populace
every time the food supply was endangered.
![Page 34: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

* The sixth king of Rome, Servinus Tullius (578-534
B.C.) was given credit for instituting the gathering of
population data.
![Page 38: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

* Two thousand years ago, each male in the Roman
Empire had to return to the city of his birth to be
counted and taxed. Thus, the Bible gives an account
of the return of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem for
such purpose, (The Holy Bible, Luke 2: 4-5).
![Page 40: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

* In the Middle Ages, registrations of land ownership
and manpower for wars were made.
* In the thirteenth century, tax lists of Paris included
the registration of those who were subjected to tax.
![Page 42: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
* In England, William the Conqueror required the
compilation of information on population and
resources. The compilation “The Domesday Book” is
the first landmark in British statistics. Later on, the
need to register births, deaths, baptisms, and
marriages was reinforced as the population grew
bigger.

* It was Gottfried Achenwall who first introduced the
word statistiks in a preface to a statistical work. He
was a German philosopher, historian, economist,
jurist and statistician. He is counted among the
inventors of statistics.

* Girolamo Cardano, an Italian mathematician,
physician, and gambler, wrote Liber de Ludo Aleae
in which appeared the first known study of principles
of probability. He wrote more than 200 works on
medicine, mathematics, physics, philosophy,
religion, and music.

* Another gambler, Chevalier de Mere, made a
proposal to Blaise Pascal in the famous Problem of
Points, a work which marked the beginning of the
mathematics of probability. Marquis de Laplace’s
Theorie Analytique des Probabilities of 1812
stabilized and supported the said theory.
![Page 51: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

* Modern theories of Statistics were attributed to
the great names like Abraham De Moivre (1667-
1754) who discovered the equation of the normal
curve.
![Page 54: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
He was a French mathematician
famous for de Moivre's formula,
which links complex numbers and
trigonometry, and for his work on
the normal distribution and
probability theory.

* Just right after the World War II, the need for a
basic understanding of statistics arose. Statistical
literacy became a necessity in today’s modern
world.
![Page 58: History of Statistics](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061123/54736243b4af9fa30a8b534a/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
* Nowadays, the use of Statistics has extended to
such things as theater attendance, sports results,
car sales in a certain period of time, heights,
weights, birth rates, death rates, and other things
that can be expressed numerically.
