    Study Notes

    Statistics 3rd Quarter

    • This quarter covers fundamental statistical concepts, data collection methods, data sources, types of data, uses of statistics in various fields, data presentation methods, and sampling techniques.

    Basic Concepts on Statistics

    • Statistics is the scientific study of collecting, organizing, presenting, analyzing, and interpreting data to gain meaningful insights.

    Etymology of Statistics

    • The word "statistics" originates from the Latin word "statisticus," meaning "of the state."
    • It's derived from the Italian word "statisticum collegium," signifying "council of state."
    • The German term "statistik" was introduced by Gottfried Achenwall, representing the science of state.

    Data Collection

    • Data collection involves gathering information or data.
    • This process is crucial for various research applications.
    • Data organization and presentation summarize collected data in text (written), graphical, or tabular (chart-based) forms.

    Collection, Organization, Analysis and Interpretation Process

    • Collection: Gathering information (data).
    • Organization/Presentation: Summarizing the data in various formats (text, tables, charts).
    • Analysis: Inspecting the data using statistical methods.
    • Interpretation: Drawing conclusions from the analyzed data.

    Data Sources

    • Population: The complete set of all objects, persons, places, or events under study with a certain characteristic. Denoted by 'N'.
    • Sample: A subset of a population, collected through sampling procedures (commonly random selection). Denoted by 'n'.

    Population and Sample

    • Parameter: A numerical or nominal characteristic of a population. Measured from the entire population.
    • Statistic: An estimate of a population parameter, measured from a sample.

    Types of Data

    • Qualitative (Categorical): Data grouped into categories;
      • Nominal: Categories without inherent order (e.g., gender, colors).
      • Ordinal: Categories with a natural order (e.g., rankings, educational levels).
    • Quantitative (Numerical): Data represented by numbers;
      • Discrete: Counted, not measured (e.g., number of siblings).
      • Continuous: Measured (e.g., height, temperature).
        • Interval: Difference between values is meaningful, but no true zero (e.g., temperature in Celsius).
        • Ratio: Difference between values is meaningful, and there's a true zero (e.g., Height, weight).

    Uses of Statistics

    • Education: Assessing student performance and teaching/learning processes to foster equality.
    • Psychology: Determining attitudes, causes of misbehavior, and impacts.
    • Business and Economics: Analyzing data related to sales, output, prices, revenues, and costs.
    • Research and Experimentation: Validating claims or inferences about groups of people or events.
    • Medicine: Collecting patient and disease data for treatment decisions.

    Data Collection Methods

    • Interview: Direct interaction with individuals for gathering data.
    • Questionnaire: Standardized list of questions distributed to subjects.
    • Historical Records: Existing documents or data for analysis.
    • Observations: Recording events as they occur.
    • Discussions/Focus Groups: Gathering input through interactive sessions.
    • Experiments/Case Studies: Conducting experiments or analyzing specific cases.

    Sampling Techniques

    • Probability Sampling: Each population member has an equal chance of being selected.

      • Random Sampling: Selecting subjects randomly using random numbers.
      • Systematic Sampling: Selecting every 'k'th member after a random starting point.
      • Stratified Random Sampling: Dividing the population into subgroups and sampling randomly from each.
      • Cluster Sampling: Randomly selecting groups or clusters from the population then sampling from.
      • Multi-stage Sampling: Combining several probability sampling techniques for very large populations.

    • Non-probability Sampling: Does not guarantee equal selection chance.

      • Convenience Sampling: Selection based on convenience or accessibility.
      • Quota Sampling: Selecting subjects based on pre-defined proportions of subgroups.
      • Purposive Sampling: Conscious selection of specific individuals based on criteria.

    Frequency Distribution Table

    • A tabular representation of observations, sorted into classes showing their frequency.
      • Ungrouped Data: Raw data arranged systematically.
      • Grouped Data: Raw data categorized into groups with specified intervals.
        • Components include: Lower and Upper Class Limits, Class boundaries, Class Width(size), Cumulative frequency,

    Data Presentation

    • Textual: Describing data using words.
    • Tabular: Presenting data in tables.
    • Graphical: Visualizing data using charts (bar charts, histograms, pie charts, ogives, frequency polygons).
