Measures of Central Tendency

These are statistical measures that represent the typical or central value of a data set. They provide insights into the center of the distribution of data.

Mean

The mean, or average, is calculated by summing all values in a data set and dividing by the number of values. It is sensitive to extreme values (outliers).

Median

The median is the middle value in an ordered data set. It divides the data in half, so 50% of values lie above and 50% lie below. It is less affected by outliers than the mean.

Mode

The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a data set. It is the 'most common' value, and there can be multiple modes or no mode.

Quartile

Quartiles divide a data set into four equal parts, each representing 25% of the data. They help understand the distribution of data.

Deciles

Deciles divide a data set into ten equal parts, each representing 10% of the data.

Percentiles

Percentiles divide a data set into one hundred equal parts, each representing 1% of the data. They are useful for comparing scores.

Measures of Dispersion

These are statistical measures that describe the spread or variability of data points around the central value. They help understand how much data deviates from the average.

Study Notes

Business Statistics Notes for B.Com Part 1

  • Chapter 1: Measures of Central Tendency (Pages 2-23)

    • Discusses characteristics of data, including averages (Central Tendency)
    • Averages are used to compare populations/samples.
    • Key measures include Arithmetic Mean, Geometric Mean, Harmonic Mean, Median, Mode.

  • Chapter 2 Measures of Dispersion (Pages 24-34)

    • Examines the variation among data points.
    • Range (difference between highest and lowest values) is a simple but crude measure.
    • Other measures (Quartile Deviation, Variance, Standard Deviation) provide more in-depth analysis.

  • Chapter 3: Measurement of Skewness (Pages 35-37)

    • Defines skewness as a measure of asymmetry in a distribution.

  • Chapter 4: Price Index Numbers (Pages 38-41)

    • Discusses various price index calculations (Laspeyre, Paasche, Fisher).
    • Explains how to use quantities as weights to determine relevant price changes.

  • Chapter 5: Simple Linear Regression (Pages 42-45)

    • Describes a statistical technique to determine the relationship between two variables (x and y).
    • Includes regression equations and coefficients.

  • Chapter 6: Chi-Square Tests (Pages 46-54)

    • Introduces the chi-square distribution, a statistical distribution used for various analyses.
    • Discusses its properties, including its use in hypothesis testing about frequencies.

  • Chapter 7: Counting Techniques (Pages 55-65)

    • Explains counting techniques such as permutations and combinations and their applications in probability.
    • Tree diagrams for counting outcomes are illustrated.
    • Explaining how these rules are applied in different situations (e.g. items being distinct or repeating).

  • Chapter 8: Probability Theory (Pages 66-70)

    • Covers fundamental concepts
    • Details axioms, classical/empirical approaches for calculating probability.

  • Chapter 9: Sampling Distribution (Pages 71-78)
