Presentation transcript:

Population Population the complete collection of ALL individuals (scores, people, measurements, etc.) to be studied the population is usually too big to be studied directly, then statistics is used Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

population parameter Parameter a numerical measurement (value) describing some characteristic of a population population parameter Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Example: US population (about 300 million) N = 300,000,000 Examples of parameters: 1. Proportion of people supporting Health Care Reform One can denote it by p (0<p<1) 2. Average weight of Americans One can denote it by m (m>0) Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Census versus Sample (must include all N measurements) Collection of data from every member of a population (must include all N measurements) Sample Subcollection of members selected from a population (n measurements; n<N; n is sample size) Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Statistic sample statistic Statistic a numerical measurement describing some characteristic of a sample. sample statistic Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Data Data collections of observations (such as measurements, records, survey responses, etc.) Next slides will describe types of data Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Quantitative Data Quantitative (or numerical) data consists of numbers representing counts or measurements. Example: The weights of selected people Example: The ages of respondents Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Categorical Data Categorical (or qualitative) data consists of names or “labels” (representing categories) Example: The genders (male/female) of professional athletes Example: Answers in a poll (yes/no) Example: Students’ grades (A,B,C,D,F) Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Working with Quantitative Data Quantitative (numerical) data can further be described by distinguishing between discrete and continuous types Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Discrete Data Discrete data (for instance, possible values are these are numbers whose possible values are either a finite list of values or a ‘countable’ list of values (for instance, possible values are 0, 1, 2, 3, . . .) Example: The number of children in a family Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Continuous Data Continuous (numerical) data these are numbers with infinitely many possible values that correspond to some continuous scale that covers a range of values without gaps, interruptions, or jumps Example: The weight of a person Example: The annual income of a person Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Working with Categorical Data Categorical data can further be described by distinguishing between nominal and ordinal types Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Nominal data these are data that consist of names, labels, or categories only, i.e. the data cannot be arranged in any ordering scheme (such as low to high) Example: Survey responses (yes, no, undecided) Example: Genders (male, female) Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Ordinal data these are data that can be arranged in some order, but there are no numerical differences between data values Example: Course grades (A, B, C, D, or F) Example: Survey responses such as (highly satisfied/satisfied/unsatisfied/very unsatisfied) Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Simple Random Sample Simple Random Sample of n subjects selected in such a way that every possible sample of the same size n has the same chance of being chosen Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Example: Pulse Rates of Females and Males Original data: Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Two graphs allow us to compare two distributions: Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

Characteristics of a distribution Width Shape Center Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

The most common (typical) shape is a “bell” shape, looks like a hill The most common (typical) shape is a “bell” shape, looks like a hill. It is called a normal distribution. It has the following properties: The frequencies start low on the left, then increase to one or two highest frequencies in the middle, then decrease again to low frequencies on the right. The distribution is approximately symmetric, with frequencies preceding the maximum being roughly a mirror image of those that follow the maximum. Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

1. Center (most typical data value) Normal distribution is characterized by two numbers (parameters): 1. Center (most typical data value) 2. Width (degree of variation of data values); also called spread or variability of data values Copyright © 2010, 2007, 2004 Pearson Education, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
