Introduction to Statistical Data

In this topic it helps to differentiate data. These are the main topic for Statistical Data:

1. Quantitative and Qualitative
2. Discrete and Continuous data

Quantitative and Qualitative

Quantitative is a numerical data. For example,  the cost of a shirt.

Qualitative is a non-numerical data. For example, the colour of a shirt.

Discrete and Continuous Data

Discrete data can be counted. For example, number of people.

Continuous data is measured. For example, the height of a person.

Example:

1.      The number of students in Cosmopolitan college in the year of 2012
2.   The color of car passing by my house
3.   The size of shoes from National Diploma in Computer Studies for intake 2.
4.       The height of people in Brunei

   Answer:

1.   1. Discrete and Quantitative
2.      Qualitative
3.      Continuous data and Quantitative
4.      Continuous

Permutation and Combination

Permutation

It is the number of different ways that a certain number of objects can be arranged in order from a large number of objects. Permutation is about arrangements.

Combination

It is the number of different ways that a certain number of objects as a group can be selected from a larger number of objects. Combination is about choice, selection and election.

Formula for Combination and Permutation:

Example 1:

There are 5 boxes, how can the boxes be arranged?

From the question itself, it tells that it is Permutation because it mentions about arrangement .So, use the permutation formula for the answer.

 P   =    n! / (n-r)!

      =   5! / (5-5)! = 5*4*3*2*1 / 2 = 120 

Example 2:

In how many ways can three student council members be elected from five candidates?

It is a combination. and the combination formula will be use for the answer.

C= n! / r!(n-r)! 

  = 5! / 3!(5-3)!=5*4*3*2*1 / 3*2*1*2*1= 20/2 =10

Representation of Statistical Data

There are many ways to present data, either by using graph or table. These are some of graphs and tables that are mainly use to convey useful information.

1. Frequency Table
2. Bar Graph
3. Pictograph
4. Line Graph
5. Pie Chart
6. Histogram

Frequency Table

Frequency Table Example

A frequency table is created by making a table with 3 columns where the first column for Intervals, the second column for Tally and the third column for Frequency. Picture above is the example of frequency table.

Bar Graph

Bar Graph Example

Bar graph is a graph drawn using rectangular bars to show how large each value is. The arrangement of the bars can be horizontal or vertical.

Pictograph

Pictograph tells a value of data by using pictures or symbol. For example in the above picture, a symbol of cupcake is equivalent to 6 cupcakes.So, in Monday, there 30 cupcakes.

Line Graph

 Line graph is a type of chart that displays information by using a data points called 'markers' and it is connected by a line. It is a basic type of chart and commonly used in many fields.

Pie Chart

 Pie chart is a type of graph which is a circle that will be divided into sectors and each sector represent its own part. For example, the blue colour in above pie chart is representing 'drama' and 5% of people chose it as their favorite type of movie.

. Histogram

 Histogram is a graph that uses rectangular shape to show data and it usually in vertical position. It is quite similar with Bar Chart but histogram uses 'ranges' in the x-axis.

Measures of Central Tendency

There are 3 main things in Measures of Central Tendency:

1. Mean
2. Median
3. Mode

Mean

It is a sum of all the data values divided by the total number of data.

Formula:

Median

It is the middle value when the data are arranged in ascending order.

Mode

It is the value that occurs most often in a set of data.

Example 1:

Show the mean,median and mode in the set of data shown:

                           

                          {2,5,4,6,8,3,7,3,1}

Mean = 2+5+4+6+8+3+7+3+1 / 9

          = 4.3

Median= 1,2,3,3,4,5,6,7,8

            = 4 is the median.

Mode = 3

Example 2:

Show the mean,median and mode in the set of data shown:

                           

                          {32,35,34,36,31,33}

Mean = 32+35+34+36+31+33 / 6

          = 33.5

Median= 31,32,33,34,35,36

            = 33+34 / 2

            = 33.5

Mode = There is no mode.

Sets

Sets is the collection of distinct objects.

There are 3 common things for sets:

1. Unions(∪)-to collect the sets together and combine it.
2. Intersection(∩)-to see the common in a sets.
3. Complement(')- the sets that are complemented will be subtracted.

Examples 1:

x={3,8,5,14}

y={4,3,13,15}

x ∪ y={3,8,5,14,4,3,13,15}- all of the numbers are combined since it is Union.

x ∩ y={3}- it is because the number 3 are mentioned in both sets which makes it as common number.

Examples 2:

Universal Set:{7,8,9,10,11,12,13}

A={8,10,12}  B={10,12,13} C={7,8} 

A ∪ B= {8,10,12,13}

A∩ B={10,12}

A ∪ B'={8,10,12} {7,8,9,11}

           ={7,8,9,11,12}-since the B is compliment, all of the numbers except the number in B are the                                          answer.

Venn Diagram

It is a diagram representing mathematical or logical sets pictorially as circles or closed curves witin an enclosing rectangle(which known as universal set), common elements of the sets being represented by intersection of the circles.

Example:

In the picture above, it shows that the A is Union with B as both shape are shaded.

While the picture above is an intersection where A intersect B since only the joint between the two shape are shaded.

Probabilty

Probability is the quality of being probable or the extent to which something likely to happen.

For example, when tossing a coin, there are two possibles outcomes which is the Head or the Tail. So, the probability of the coin landing either Head or Tail is 1/2 . 

 This is also the same with throwing dice, when it is thrown there are six possible outcomes which is 1,2,3,4,5 or 6. The probability of any one of them is 1/6.

Tree Diagram

Below is the picture of a Tree diagram:

We can extent it into two tosses of a coin and calculate by multiplying probabilities along the branches and add probabilities down the columns:
