Study Notes
Introduction to Statistics
- Covers introduction to statistics, methods of data presentation, descriptive statistics, probability and counting rules, discrete probability distributions, the normal probability distribution, and the central limit theorem.
- Includes hypothesis testing (parts 1 and 2), parameter estimation, correlation analysis, regression analysis, and chi-square tests.
- Three long exams are scheduled.
Assumptions for Parametric Tests
- Data should be approximately normally distributed.
- Some tests require the assumption of homogeneity of variance.
What to do if assumptions are not met
- Check for and remove outliers (variability in measurement, novel data, or experimental error).
- Transform data (logarithmic, square root, reciprocal, or power transformations).
- Consider non-parametric alternatives (distribution-free, perform rank transformation, less powerful than parametric tests).
Choosing a Statistical Model
- Course content includes probability distributions and comparison of two populations, experimental design, and relationship and association.
AMAT 131 Course Outline
- Probability distributions: review of basic statistics, introduction to probability distributions, binomial, multinomial, Poisson, other probability distributions, and the normal distribution.
- Comparison of two populations: independent and related samples (parametric and non-parametric).
- Experimental design: introduction to experimental design, principles of experimental design, analysis of variance (ANOVA), assumptions of ANOVA and remedies for violations, completely randomized design (CRD), randomized complete block design (RCBD), Latin square design (LSD), factorial design (two-factor and split-plot).
- Relationship and association: simple correlation analysis (parametric and non-parametric), simple linear regression analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis.
- Three long exams are scheduled.
Navigating the UVLE Course

- R and R Studio are recommended statistical software.
Basic Statistical Terms
- Universe: The entire set of entities under consideration.
- Variable: A characteristic with different values (qualitative or quantitative).
- Data: Values assumed by variables.
- Random variable: Represents outcomes of a non-deterministic process.
- Statistical inference: Involves both estimation and hypothesis testing.
- Estimation: Determining a parameter's true value using a sample (point estimate or interval estimate).
- Hypothesis testing: Testing claims about a population using a sample.
- Population: All subjects being studied.
- Sample: A subset of the population.
Summation Notation
- Σ denotes summation.
- First Constant Theorem: ∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ k = nk
- Second Constant Theorem: ∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ kXᵢ = k ∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ Xᵢ
- Third Constant Theorem: ∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ (aXᵢ + bYᵢ) = a ∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ Xᵢ + b ∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ Yᵢ
Example Calculation
- Given seven wheat yield measurements (7, 9, 6, 12, 4, 6, 9 tons), the mean, sample variance, and sample standard deviation can be calculated using standard formulas.

- Describes the probability structure of a random variable.
- Probability mass function (pmf) for discrete variables.
- Probability density function (pdf) for continuous variables.
Random Variables
- Numerical variables whose values depend on random experiments.
