BASIC CONCEPT OF STATISTICS
Transcript of the Video STATISTIC
So in high school I had never even heard of statistics It is defined as a branch of mathematics or science
and I knew I liked math and I knew I liked science. In which deals with the collection organization presentation,
high school I went to a conservatory for music I was a
analysis and interpretation of numerical data for the
viola performance major when I started college I was
taking a bunch of math and economics classes and then purpose of assisting in making a more effective decision.
in my junior year I took a probability and statistics class. I
remember sitting there in the classroom thinking, wow, MAJOR DIVISION OF STATISTICS
this is a really interesting problem and he's using 1. Descriptive statistics (Collection or
statistics of probability theory to try to solve it. organizing the given data)
Statistics is amazing because it has many - It is the field of statistics that focuses on
diversifications from search results on Google and Bing quantitatively description of a collection of data.
to recommendations for what you should be shopping for - It is concerned with collecting organization
on Amazon if you're watching a YouTube video and at summarizing and presenting data which will be
the end you get recommendations for other videos described in a group of data
statistics were used to give you those recommendations Example:
I've seen statistics in ice skating, I've seen statistics in Central Tendency (Mean, Median and Mode), Variations,
agriculture. I mean I've seen statistics in climate control Skewness and Kurtosis
Statistics can actually be anything that you like anything - Data interpreted thru Tables, graphs, Averages
that you enjoy anything that you want to do and anything or Percentages
that you're passionate about you can take statistics and
it fits. I'm very lucky to get to use statistics to answer 2. Inferential statistics (Comparing two reliable
some of the questions that I think are the most important data)
questions about social justice and human rights - It is used to make conclusion of the probability
violations and on my best days I get to spend the that a difference between samples is either
majority of my day doing data analysis to answer reliable or by chance
questions for the united nations to contribute evidence to - Comparison between two different sample
war crimes trials as a part of my PhD I created a Example;
statistical software package and Google emails me T-Test, Z-Test
every time someone uses it and people have used it to - to validate if the given problem is reliable in this
analyze DNA and find genes that are related to cancer given conclusion
it's easy when using the food pyramid when we come up
with suggestions you know of what you should eat and TWO SIGNIFICANT TERMINOLOGIES
how much of it you should eat we try those things using 1. Parameter (GENERAL)
statistics. Statistics if critical for everybody entering the - is the field of statistics that focuses on
workforce because so much of industry and government quantitatively description of a collection of data
and everything today is data driven just like it's important Example:
that we all know how to read we all need to know Province of Bulacan
statistics look around you, everywhere you are there is
data there's information whatever your passions are 2. Statistics (SPECIFIC)
statistics will be involved we are producing so much data - It is a concluded data from a portion of a
these days regardless of the field that you pursue population
whether it is astronomy criminal justice or medicine Example:
going forward you've got to know statistics City of San Jose Del Monte
FIVE BASIC STEPS IN CONDUCTING
1. Define the problem
2. Collecting and organizing relevant information
3. Presenting the data
4. Analyzing the data
5. Interpret the results
CLASSIFICATION OF DATA
1. Qualitative vs. Quantitative
2. Raw vs. Array
Qualitative Data Quantitative Data 2. Dependent Variables (Criterion Variable) – Its

you measure.
Examples
What is the gender? How many are males? (5) • According to Continuity of Values
(Male and female) How many are females? 1. Continuous Variables

- The variable are not exact or not complete
Raw Data Array Data - It variable that can be expressed in decimals
A data is in its original A data collected is 2. Discrete or Discontinuous Variables

order then it is no longer - It variable that cannot be expressed in decimals
in its original form
Examples LEVEL OF MEASUREMENT
The grades of 6 BSA students in Advac are 97, 96, 99,
98, 100, 97 1. Nominal Scale simply naming, labeling or
categorizing a data
Ascending (L to H)
2. Ordinal Scale simply ranking or ordering a data
96, 97, 97, 98, 99, 100
97, 96, 99, 98, 100, 97 which contains the properties of nominal scale.
Descending (H to L)
The difference between the parts of the data
100, 99, 98, 97, 97, 96
cannot be determined so the interval is meaning
A raw data can be arrayed but array data cannot be

turned into raw data.
3. Interval Scale a specific interval between each
of its variable options which contains the
properties of ordinal scale
CLASSIFICATION OF VARIABLES
4. Ratio Scale
Variable
- It observable characteristics or attributes associated
with the population or sample being studied which
makes one different from the other
- It is an attribute that describes a person, place,
thing, or idea.
- The value of the variable can "vary" from one entity
to another.
- A quantity whose value changes across the
population and can be measured
CLASSIFICATION OF VARIABLES
According to Functional According to Continuity of
Relationships Values
Independent Variables
Continuous Variables
Predictor Variable
Dependent Variables Discrete or
Criterion Variable Discontinuous Variables
• According to Functional Relationships
1. Independent Variables (Predictor Variable) - Its
value is independent of other variables in your
study. Cause
