Chapter Key Concepts
Sample data must be collected in anappropriate way, such as through aprocess of r andom selection.
If sample data are not collected inan appropriate way, the data may be
so completely useless that noamount of statistical torturing cansalvage them.

Sampling Method
Does the method chosen greatlyinfluence the validity of theconclusion?
Voluntary response (or self-selected)samples often have bias (those withspecial interest are more likely to
participate). These samples resultsare not necessarily valid.Other methods are more likely toproduce good results.

Conclusions
Make statements that are clear tothose without an understanding ofstatistics and its terminology.
Avoid making statements not justified by the statistical analysis.

Statistical Significance

is so small, then the results ares ta ti s t ica lly s ig ni f icant .

Key Concept
The subject of statistics is largelyabout using sample data to make
inferences (or generalizations) aboutan entire population. It is essential toknow and understand the definitionsthat follow.

Quantitative Data
Quantitative (or numerical) data
consists of n u m b e r s representing countsor measurements.
Example: The weights of supermodels
Example: The ages of respondents

Categorical Data
Categorical (or qualitative orattribute) data
consists of names or labels (representingcategories)
Example: The genders (male/female) ofprofessional athletesExample: Shirt numbers on professionalathletes uniforms - substitutes for names.

Working with Quantitative Data
Quantitative data can further be
described by distinguishingbetween discrete and continuous types.
8/12/2019 Statistics powerpoint chapter 11 slides
17/651.1 - 17Copyright 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc.
Discrete data result when the number of possible valuesis either a finite number or a countable
number(i.e. the number of possible values is
0, 1, 2, 3, . . . )
Example: The number of eggs that a henlays
Discrete Data

1.1 - 18Copyright 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc.
Continuous (numerical) dataresult from infinitely many possible valuesthat correspond to some continuous scalethat covers a range of values without gaps,interruptions, or jumps
Continuous Data
Example: The amount of milk that a cowproduces; e.g. 2.343115 gallons per day

Levels of Measurement
Another way to classify data is to use
levels of measurement. Four ofthese levels are discussed in thefollowing slides.
8/12/2019 Statistics powerpoint chapter 11 slides
20/65
1.1 - 20Copyright 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc.
Nominal level of measurement characterized by data that consist of names,
labels, or categories only, and the data cannotbe arranged in an ordering scheme (such aslow to high)
Example: Survey responses yes , no ,undecided
Nominal Level

21/65
1.1 - 21Copyright 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc.
Ordinal level of measurement involves data that can be arranged in some
order, but differences between data valueseither cannot be determined or aremeaningless
Example: Course grades A, B, C, D, or F
Ordinal Level
8/12/2019 Statistics powerpoint chapter 11 slides
22/65
1.1 - 22Copyright 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc.
Interval level of measurement like the ordinal level, with the additionalproperty that the difference between any two
data values is meaningful, however, there isno natural zero starting point (where none ofthe quantity is present)
Example: Years 1000, 2000, 1776, and 1492
Interval Level
8/12/2019 Statistics powerpoint chapter 11 slides
23/65
1.1 - 23Copyright 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc.
Ratio level of measurement the interval level with the additional propertythat there is also a natural zero starting point
(where zero indicates that none of the quantityis present); for values at this level,differences and ratios are meaningful
Example: Prices of college textbooks ($0represents no cost, a $100 book costs twice
as much as a $50 book)
Ratio Level

Misuses of Statistics
1. Evil intent on the part ofdishonest people.
2. Unintentional errors on the partof people who dont know anybetter.
We should learn to distinguish betweenstatistical conclusions that are likely to bevalid and those that are seriously flawed.

Bad Samples
Voluntary response sample(or self-selected sample)
one in which the respondents themselves
decide whether to be included
In this case, valid conclusions can bemade only about the specific group ofpeople who agree to participate and notabout the population.

Can dramatically affect results.
Subjects may drop out for reasonsunrelated to the study.People with low incomes are less likelyto report their incomes.

Self-Interest Study
Some parties with interest to promotewill sponsor studies.
Be wary of a survey in which thesponsor can enjoy monetary gain fromthe results.
When assessing validity of a study,always consider whether the sponsormight influence the results.

Replicationis the repetition of an experiment on morethan one subject. Samples should be largeenough so that the erratic behavior that ischaracteristic of very small samples will notdisguise the true effects of differenttreatments. It is used effectively when thereare enough subjects to recognize the
differences from different treatments.
Replication
Use a sample size that is large enough to let ussee the true nature of any effects, and obtainthe sample using an appropriate method, such
as one based on r andomness .

which occurs when an untreated subjectreports improvement in symptoms.

different groups2. Use replication by repeating the experiment on
enough subjects so that effects of treatment or
other factors can be clearly seen.3. Contro l the e ffec ts of var iab les by using such

Sampling error
the difference between a sample result andthe true population result; such an errorresults from chance sample fluctuations
Nonsampling error sample data incorrectly collected, recorded,or analyzed (such as by selecting a biasedsample, using a defective instrument, orcopying the data incorrectly)
ErrorsNo matter how well you plan and execute
the sample collection process, there islikely to be some error in the results.
