DEFINITION STATISTICS AS ‘NUMERICAL DATA’ “By statistics we mean aggregates of facts affected to a

marked extent by multiplicity of causes numerically expressed, enumerated or estimated according to reasonable standards of accuracy, collected in a systematic manner for a pre-determined purpose and placed in relation to each other.”

- PROF.HORACE SECRIST STATISTICS AS STATISTICAL METHODS “ The science which deals with the collection, analysis

and interpretation of numerical data.” - CROXTON AND COWDEN

FUNCTIONS OF STATISTICS Statistics presents the fact in definite form It simplifies mass of data. It facilitates for comparison. It facilitates in formulating policies It tests hypothesis It measures the trend behaviour

LIMITATIONS OF STATISTICS Statistical methods does not study individuals. Statistics laws are true only on an average. Statis tical methods are not suited to study qualitative data. If sufficient care is not exercised in collecting, analyzing and

interpretation the data, statistical results might be misleading. Only a person who has an expert knowledge of statistics can

handle statistical data efficiently.

ARITHMETIC MEAN • Arithmetic mean is usually called as average and is given by sum of

all observations divided by the total number of observations given.

MEDIAN

• The median is a simple measure of central tendency. To find the median, we arrange the observations in order from smallest to largest value.

• If there is an odd number of observations, the median is the middle value.

• If there is an even number of observations, the median is the average of the two middle values.

MEASURES OF DISPERSION The average measures the center of the data. Another feature of

the observation is how the observations are spread about the center. The observations may be close to the center or they may be spread away from the center. If the observations are close to the center (usually the arithmetic mean or median), we say that dispersion, scatter or variation is small. If the observations are spread away from the center, we say dispersion is large.

MEASURES OF DISPERSION ABSOLUTE MEASURE OF DISPERSION :

It measures the distribution in original units of data. Variability in two or more series can be compared, provides they

are in the same unit and same average. RELATIVE MEASURE OF DISPERSION : It is free from unit of measurement of data. It is the ratio of the measure of absolute dispersion to the

average, from which absolute deviations are made. It is called as coefficient of variation

MEASURES OF SKEWNESS • Skewness is a term in statistics used to describes asymmetry from

the normal distribution in a set of statistical data. Skewness can

come in the form of negative skewness or positive skewness,

depending on whether data points are skewed to the left and

negative, or to the right and positive of the data average. A dataset

that shows this characteristic differs from a normal bell curve.

between two or more variables.

TYPES OF CORRELATION A. Positive and Negative Correlation Positive Correlation: If the two variables vary in the same direction i.e., if both the variables

increase or decrease in the same direction then there exists a positive correlation.

Eg : Income and expenditure Negative Correlation: If the two variables vary in the opposite direction i.e., if one variable

increases the other decreases or vice versa, then there exists a negative correlation.

Eg : No of men and work

LINEAR AND NON-LINEAR CORRELATION

Linear Correlation: The ratio of change in between the variables is the same. Example

Non-Linear Correlation: The amount of change in one variable does not bear a constant

ratio to the amount of change in the other variable. Example: If the amount of rainfall is doubled, the yield of a crop is not

necessarily doubled.

SCATTER DIAGRAM METHOD Scatter diagram is a graphical method of finding correlation.

It is one of the simplest procedures to judge correlation

between variables. One variable is taken along the x- axis and other

variable is taken along the y-axis.

From the plotted points, we can find whether the variables are

correlated or not.

KARL PEARSONS’ METHOD • Karl Pearson’s Coefficient of Correlation is widely used

mathematical method wherein the numerical expression is used to calculate the degree and direction of the relationship between linear related variables.

• Pearson’s method, popularly known as a Pearsonian Coefficient of Correlation, is the most extensively used quantitative methods in practice. The coefficient of correlation is denoted by “r”.

For example refer, http://www.stat.wmich.edu/s216/book/node122.html

The secular trend refers to the general direction and movement of time series.

EXAMPLES. UPWARD TREND : The series concerning Population, national income,

bank deposits etc. DOWNWARD TREND : Series concerning death rates specially in

deaths by epidemics etc.

SEASONAL VARIATIONS

Seasonal variations refer to a recurrent pattern of change within the

period due to climate or custom at different periods of time.

EXAMPLES

In each year more ice creams sold during summer and less in

winter.

More woolen clothes are sold during winter and less in summer.

Increase in sales of garments in festive seaons.

CYCLICAL VARIATIONS • Cyclical variations are oscillatory movements in a time series with

period of oscillation greater than

one year.

• Cyclical movements are defined as up and down movements which

are different from seasonal fluctuations because they extend over

longer period of time.

• The cyclical fluctuations are not necessarily uniformly periodic.

• A cycle (one complete period) normally lasts from 7 to 9 years.

IRREGULAR VARIATIONS

Irregular variations are fluctuations in time series that are short

in duration, erratic in nature and follow no regularity in the

occurrence pattern.

• These variations are usually caused by nonrecurring factors

like floods, wars, earthquakes, strikes and lock-outs, epidemics etc.

INDEX NUMBERS Index numbers are developed for measuring the effect of change in

prices. They are described as barometers of economic activity.

DEFINITIONS :

Index numbers are devices for measuring differences in the

magnitude of a group of related variables – Croxton and Cowden.

An index number is nothing more than a relative number which

expresses the relation between two figures, which one of them is

used as a base. - Morris Hamberg.

• It is a numerical value characterizing the change in complex

economic phenomena over a period of time or space – Maslow.

USES OF INDEX NUMBERS Index numbers measure the economic and business behaviour,

and is called the barometers of economic activity. The primary purpose of index numbers is to measure the relative

temporal or cross sectional changes in a variable or set of variables over some base figure.

Management for any organization uses index numbers for efficient planning and formulation of business policies.

Index numbers are specially used to study the general trend for a time series data. They can be used to forecast future events.

The cost of living index numbers help in computing real wages. Index numbers are used to for deflating net national product or

income calculated at current prices.

1. PRICE INDEX This compares the prices of a group of commodities at a certain

time or place with prices of the base period or place respectively. 2. QUANTITY INDEX This index measures the changes in the volume of goods produced,

purchased or consumed Eg : indices of agricultural production, industrial production, imports,

exports etc. 3. VALUE INDEX : This index compares the total value of some period with the total value

of the base period.
