What is statistics?

Statistics is the science concerned with


developing and studying methods for
collecting, analyzing, interpreting and
presenting empirical data

Data derived from reliable


measurement or observation
Types of statistical
application
What is descriptive and
Inferential statistics?
Descriptive statistics- are brief descriptive coefficients that summarize a given
data set, which can be either a representation of the entire or a sample of a
population.
Inferential statistics- Inferential statistics are used when data is viewed as a
subclass of a specific population (to provide a overall conclusion)
Difference
Descriptive statistics describes data (for
example, a chart or graph) and inferential
statistics allows you to make predictions
(“inferences”) from that data.
With inferential statistics, you
take data from samples and make
generalizations about a population.
Tools
Descriptive- Measures of central
tendency(mean/median/mode), spread of data
(range, standard deviation)
Inferential- hypothesis testing, analysis of
variance, regression, etc.
Types of Data- Qualitative and Quantitative
Population with Sample

ELASTICITY AND ITS


APPLICATION
With inferential statistics,
you take data
from samples and make
generalizations about a
population. For example,
you might stand in a
Optovik shop and ask
a sample of 100 people
their opinion about shop
Representative sample
A representative sample is a subset of a population that seeks to accurately reflect
the characteristics of the larger group
Random sampling
Random sampling is a part of
the sampling technique in which
each sample has an equal probability of
being chosen.
A sample chosen randomly is meant to
be an unbiased representation of the total
population. An unbiased random
sample is important for drawing
conclusions.
Non-Random Samples
Selection bias
Non-response bias
Non-response bias is a type of bias that occurs when people are
unwilling or unable to respond to a survey due to a factor that makes
them differ greatly from people who respond

Some people simply forgot to return the survey. Your survey didn't
reach all members in your sample. For example, email invites might
have disappeared into the Spam folder, or the code used in the email
may not have rendered properly on certain devices (like cell phones).
