Study Notes
Descriptive Statistics: Definitions
- Population: The entire group of individuals or objects sharing a common characteristic.
- Sample: A subset of the population.
- Variable: A characteristic that is measured or observed for each individual or object in a population or sample.
Types of Variables
- Qualitative (Categorical): Cannot be numerically measured.
- Nominal: Unordered categories (e.g., eye color).
- Ordinal: Ordered categories (e.g., satisfaction level).
- Quantitative (Numerical): Can be numerically measured.
- Discrete: Whole number values (e.g., number of children).
- Continuous: Decimal values (e.g., height).
Parameters and Statistics
- Parameter: A descriptive measure calculated from population data.
- Statistic: A descriptive measure calculated from sample data.
Measures of Central Tendency
- Mean: The sum of values divided by the number of values.
- Population: μ = (∑ xi) / N
- Sample: x̄ = (∑ xi) / n
- Median: The value that separates the data into two equal parts.
- Mode: The most frequent value.
Measures of Dispersion
- Range: The difference between the maximum and minimum values.
- Variance: The average of the squared differences from the mean.
- Population: σ² = (∑ (xi - μ)²) / N
- Sample: s² = (∑ (xi - x̄)²) / (n-1)
- Standard Deviation: The square root of the variance.
- Population: σ = √σ²
- Sample: s = √s²
- Coefficient of Variation: The ratio of the standard deviation to the mean, expressed as a percentage.
- Population: CV = (σ / μ) × 100%
- Sample: CV = (s / x̄) × 100%
Measures of Position
- Quartiles: Values that divide the data into four equal parts.
- Q1: First quartile (25% of the data below).
- Q2: Second quartile (median).
- Q3: Third quartile (75% of the data below).
- Deciles: Values that divide the data into ten equal parts.
- Percentiles: Values that divide the data into one hundred equal parts.
Graphical Representations
- Bar Chart: Used for qualitative or discrete quantitative variables.
- Histogram: Used for continuous quantitative variables.
- Boxplot: A graphical representation of quartiles, median, and extreme values.
- Scatter Plot: Used to visualize the relationship between two quantitative variables.
Frequency Tables
- Absolute Frequency: The number of occurrences of a value.
- Relative Frequency: The proportion of occurrences of a value (absolute frequency divided by the total number of observations).
- Cumulative Frequency: The sum of the absolute or relative frequencies up to a given value.
Bivariate Analysis
- Covariance: A measure of the linear relationship between two variables.
- Correlation Coefficient: A measure of the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables (ranges from -1 to 1).
