Study Notes
Basics of Statistics
- The term "Statistics" is derived from the words "STATUS/STATISTA/STATISTIK" in Latin, Italian, and German languages.
Statistical Calculations
-
The sum of squares of the numbers -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5 is 50 (ΣX² = 50).
-
The sum of the numbers 1, 2, 3, …, 50 is 1275 (ΣX = 1275).
Types of Errors
- Compensating errors are a type of random error.
Classifications
- Students at Punjab University can be classified using a three-way or manifold classification system.
Tables
- Source notes are an essential part of a table.
Box-and-Whisker Plots
- The first, second, and third quartiles are used in a box-and-whisker plot.
Averages
- Mode is the average that shows the peak in a histogram.
- Arithmetic mean is a special case of a trimmed mean.
Harmonic Mean
- The harmonic mean of the data set | X | F | |---|---| | 2 | 3 | | 3 | 2 | | 4 | 4 | is 6
Dispersion
- The coefficient of dispersion for a data set with a lower value of 3 and an upper value of 9 is 0.50.
Chebyshev's Inequality
- Chebyshev's inequality states that the range X ± 2SD contains at least 75% of the observations.
Sheppard's Correction
- Sheppard's correction is not applicable for U-shaped distributions.
Visualizing Distributions
- J-shaped curves represent extremely skewed distributions.
- In a U-shaped curve, maximum frequencies occur at both ends.
Indexes
- Value index = (Sum of product of current price and current quantity) / (Sum of product of base year price and quantity).
- For a value index where the sum of product of current price and current quantity = 50 and the sum of product of base year price and quantity = 100, the value index is 50%.
