Study Notes
Statistics and Data
- Statistics is a field of study concerned with the collection, organization, summarization, and analysis of data.
- Data is the raw material of statistics, and it can be ordered or ranked.
Types of Random Variables
- A discrete random variable is characterized by gaps or interruptions in the values that it can assume.
- A continuous random variable can assume any value within a specified relevant interval of values assumed by the variable.
Population and Sample
- A population is the largest collection of values of a random variable for which we have an interest at a particular time.
- A sample is a part of a population.
Measurement
- Measurement is the assignment of numbers to objects or events according to a set of rules.
Scales of Measurement
Nominal Scale
- The nominal scale consists of “naming” observations or classifying them into various mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive categories.
- The nominal scale is used for categorizing observations into different groups.
Ordinal Scale
- The ordinal scale is used when observations are ranked according to some criterion.
- The ordinal scale is used for ranking observations in a specific order.
Interval Scale
- The interval scale has the properties of ordinal data, and the interval between observations is expressed in terms of a fixed unit of measure.
- Interval data are always numeric.
Range
- The range (R) is the difference between the largest and the smallest observation in the data set.
- It is a measure of the spread of the data.
