Introduction to Statistics: The use of statistical methods in manufacturing, development of food products, computer software, pharmaceutical, and many other areas involves the gathering of information or scientific data. Of course, the gathering of data is nothing new. It has been done for well over a thousand years. Data have been collected, summarized, reported, and stored for perusal. However, there is a profound distinction between collection of scientific information and inferential statistics.

Statistic: Statistics is a mathematical science pertaining to the collection, analysis, interpretation or explanation, and presentation of data. It provides tools for prediction and forecasting using data and statistical models. Types of Statistics:

Descriptive statistics summarize the population data by describing what was observed in the sample numerically or graphically. Numerical descriptors include mean and standard deviation for continuous data types (like heights or weights), while frequency and percentage are more useful in terms of describing categorical data (like race).

Inferential statistics uses patterns in the sample data to draw inferences about the population represented, accounting for randomness. These inferences may take the form of: answering yes/no questions about the data (hypothesis testing) estimating numerical characteristics of the data (estimation), describing associations within the data (correlation) and modeling relationships within the data (regression).

Types of Data Group Data Data that has been organized into groups (into a frequency distribution). If you see a table similar to the one below, you will know that you are dealing with grouped data: Class Frequency 05 4 6 10 5 11 15 12 16 20 7 Ungrouped Data Data that has not been organized into groups. Ungrouped data looks like a big list of numbers.

Measure of Central Tendency of Ungroup Data Measures of central tendency are measures of the location of the middle or the center of a distribution. The definition of "middle" or "center" is purposely left somewhat vague so that the term "central tendency" can refer to a wide variety of measures. The mean is the most commonly used measure of central tendency. The following measures of central tendency are discussed in this text: 1. 2. 3. 4. Mean Median Mode Trimmed mean

Mean of ungrouped data: The arithmetic mean is what is commonly called the average: When the word "mean" is used without a modifier, it can be assumed that it refers to the arithmetic mean. The mean is the sum of all the entries divided by the number of smaples. Let x1, x2, x3, ..., xn be n observations then mean is obtained by dividing the sum of n observations by n.

Example: Find the mean of 4,6,8,6,7,8 Solution: = (4 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 8)/6 = 39/6 = 6.5 Median of ungrouped data: If the observations of an ungrouped data are arranged in increasing or decreasing order of their magnitude, a value which divides these ordered observations into two equal parts is called the median of the data. It is denoted by M.

If the number of observations (n) is an odd integer, then M = Value of (n+1)/2th observation in the arrangement of observations in increasing order. If the number of observations (n) is an even integer, then M = (Value of n/2th observation + Value of (n/2 + 1)th observation)/2 Example: Find the median of the following observations 4,6,8,6,7,8,8 Solution: Observations in the ascending order are : 4, 6, 6, 7, 8, 8, 8 Here, n = 7 is odd. Median : M = Value of (n+1)/2th observation = Value of (7+1)/2th observation = Value of 4th observation =7 Mode of ungrouped data: An observation occurring most frequently in the data is called mode of the data. It is denoted by Z. Example: Find the mode of the following observations 4,6,8,6,7,8,8 Solution: In the given data, the observation 8 occurs maximum number of times (3) Mode= 8

Trimmed Mean: A trimmed mean is computed by "trimming away" a certain percent of both the largest and smallest set of values. For example, the 10% trimmed mean is found by eliminating the largest 5% and smallest 5% and computing the average of the remaining values. trimming the mean can reduce the effects of outlier bias in a sample
