Types of Statistics
EXAMPLE 2: According to Consumer Reports, General Electric washing machine owners reported 9 problems per 100 machines during 2001. The statistic 9 describes the number of problems out of every 100 machines.
Descriptive StatisticsDescriptive Statistics: Methods of organizing, summarizing, and presenting data in an informative way.
EXAMPLE 1: A Gallup poll found that 49% of the people in a survey knew the name of the first book of the Bible. The statistic 49 describes the number out of every 100 persons who knew the answer.

Types of Statistics
A PopulationPopulation is a CollectionCollection of all possible individuals, objects, or measurements of interest.
A SampleSample is a portion, or part, of the population of interest
Inferential StatisticsInferential Statistics:: A decision, estimate, prediction, or generalization about a population, based on a sample.

Types of Variables
Discrete VariablesDiscrete Variables:: can only assume certain values and there are usually “gaps” between values.
Example: the number of bedrooms in a house, or the number of hammers sold at the local Home Depot (1,2,3,…,etc).
Quantitative variables can be classified as either
DiscreteDiscrete or ContinuousContinuous.

Class MidpointClass Midpoint:: A point that divides a class into two equal parts. This is the average of the upper and lower class limits.
Class FrequencyClass Frequency: The number of observations in each class.
Class intervalClass interval: The class interval is obtained by subtracting the lower limit of a class from the lower limit of the next class. The class intervals should be equal.

Step One:Step One: Decide on the number of classes using the formula
22kk > n > nwhere k=number of classes
n=number of observations
oThere are 30 observations so n=30.
oTwo raised to the fifth power is 32.
oTherefore, we should have at least 5 classes, i.e., k=5.

A Histogram is a graph in which the class midpoints or limits are marked on the horizontal axis and the class frequencies on the vertical axis.
The class frequencies are represented by the heights of the bars and the bars are drawn adjacent to each other.

The Median
There are as many values above the median as below it in the data array.
For an even set of values, the median will be the arithmetic average of the two middle numbers and is
found at the (n+1)/2 ranked observation.
The MedianMedian is the midpoint of the values after they have been ordered from the smallest to the largest.

Properties of the Median
There is a unique median for each data set.
It is not affected by extremely large or small values and is therefore a valuable measure of location when such values occur.
It can be computed for ratio-level, interval-level, and ordinal-level data.
It can be computed for an open-ended frequency distribution if the median does not lie in an open-ended class.

Data can have more than one mode. If it has two modes, it is referred to as bimodal, three modes, trimodal, and the like.
The ModeMode is another measure of location and represents the value of the observation that appears most frequently.

Skewness is the measurement of the lack of symmetry of the distribution.
The coefficient of skewness can range from -3.00 up to 3.00 when using the following formula:
A value of 0 indicates a symmetric distribution.
Some software packages use a different formula which results in a wider range for the coefficient.

Empirical RuleEmpirical Rule: For any symmetrical, bell-shaped distribution:
About 68% of the observations will lie within 1s the mean
About 95% of the observations will lie within 2s of the mean
Virtually all the observations will be within 3s of the mean

Finding the Median Class
To determine the median class for grouped data
Construct a cumulative frequency distribution.
Divide the total number of data values by 2.
Determine which class will contain this value. For example, if n=50, 50/2 = 25, then determine which class will contain the 25th value.

The Mode of Grouped Data
The modes in example 12 are 6 and 10 and so is bimodal.
The ModeMode for grouped data is approximated by the midpoint of the class with the largest class frequency.
