CHAPTER 1 Individuals are the objects described by a set of data. Individuals may be people‚ but they may also be animals or things. A variable is any change of an individual. A variable can take different values for different individuals. A categorical variable places an individual into one of several groups or categories. A quantitative variable takes numerical values for which arithmetic operations such as adding and averaging make sense. The distribution of a variable tells us what values

Comparison of Crime Statistics Crime statistics endeavour to provide statistical measures of crime in societies. They provide a point of analysis and comparison‚ allow countries to form long-term patterns and trends and can help to develop and reform criminal justice policies as well as being more meaningful than raw numbers. Using the countries of Bahrain and the United States as a comparison point for the following issues which surround crime statistics such as biases‚ agendas and general influences

Two way ANOVA Test will have three null hypotheses. One hypothesis will represent the independent variable‚ and its effects on the second hypothesis which is the dependent variable (main effect). The third null hypothesis is the interaction effect on both independent variables on the dependent variable

Q1. (a) ‘Statistics is the backbone of decision-making’. Comment. Ans.(a) Due to advanced communication network‚ rapid changes in consumer behavior‚ varied expectations of variety of consumers and new market openings‚ modern managers have a difficult task of making quick and appropriate decisions. Therefore‚ there is a need for them to depend more upon quantitative techniques like mathematical models‚ statistics‚ operations research and econometrics. Decision making is a key part of our day-to-day

Section 1.1 - Introduction to the Practice of Statistics 1. Explain the difference between a population and a sample. A population is the entire group to be studied and a sample is a portion of the population. 2. Explain the difference between a parameter and a statistic. A statistic is a numerical summary of a sample and a parameter is a numerical summary of a population. 3. What is Descriptive Statistics and how is it used? Descriptive statistics describes the results of a sample without
