Chapter One Introduction to Statistics

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter Some Commonly Asked Questions about Statistics

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter What Are Statistics? The word statistics refers to statistical procedures and the answers obtained from those procedures.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter What Do Researchers Do with Statistics? Statistical procedures are used to –Organize, –Summarize, and –Communicate data Then to –Conclude what the data indicate

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter What Is Empirical Research? Empirical means knowledge obtained through observation of events. Empirical research involves measurement. The scores obtained in research are the data.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter How Do I Learn Statistics? More than anything else, you need to learn when to use each statistical procedure, why each statistical procedure is used, and how to interpret its answer.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter Basic Statistical Notation Statistical notation is the standardized code for symbolizing the mathematical operations performed in the formulas and the answers we obtain.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter Mathematical Operations X or Y stand for each individual score obtained in a study. –Addition X + Y. –Subtraction X – Y. –Division X / Y. –Multiplication XY, ( X ) Y, or X ( Y ). “ X squared” or “ X times X. “the square root of X.”

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter Parentheses and square root signs indicate “the quantity” so always find the quantities indicated by these symbols first. The Order of Math Operations Unless otherwise indicated –Square or take the square root. –Multiply or divide. –Add or subtract.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter Rounding Carry out calculations so that the final answer after rounding has two more decimal places than the original scores Do not round off at intermediate steps in a formula If the number in the next decimal place is 5 or greater than 5, round up If the number in the next decimal place is less than 5, round down

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter Transformations A transformation is a mathematical procedure for systematically converting a set of scores into a different set of scores.

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter Proportions A proportion is a decimal number between 0 and 1 that indicates a fraction of the total To transform a number to a proportion, divide the number by the total

Copyright © Houghton Mifflin Company. All rights reserved.Chapter Percents A percent (or percentage) is a proportion multiplied by 100 To transform a percent back into a proportion, divide the percent by 100
