Lecture 1. Descriptive statistics includes statistical procedures that we use to describe the population we are studying. The data could be collected from either a sample or a population‚ but the results help us organize and describe data. Descriptive statistics can only be used to describe the group that is being studying. That is‚ the results cannot be generalized to any larger group. Inferential statistics is concerned with making predictions or inferences about a population from observations

Worksheet 1 - Basic Concepts 1. What is Inferential statistics? Inferential statistics uses observations of past occurrences or available data i.e. descriptive statistics to make decisions about future possibilities and/or the nature of the entire body of data. Inferential statistics draws conclusions or makes interpretations‚ predictions and inferences about a population based upon an analysis of a sample. 2. Give 2 different techniques which are used in descriptive statistics to represent

Change - 1 Explain the scales of measurement in details ‚ giving examples: Data has been classified into four scales of measurement so that it can be easily interpreted universally. The scale is chosen depending on the information that the data is intending to represent. The four scales of measurement of data are nominal‚ ordinal‚ interval‚ and ratio. Each plays a different‚ yet very important role in the world of statistic a) Nominal scale Is the lowest level in scales of measurement

The opportunity cost of seeing a movie includes the monetary cost of admission plus the time cost of going to the theater and attending the show. The time cost depends on what else you might do with that time; if it’s staying home and watching TV‚ the time cost may be small‚ but if it’s working an extra three hours at your job‚ the time cost is the money you could have earned. 4.

AP Psychology February 11‚ 2013 FRQ: Stages The stage theories of J. Piaget‚ E. Erikson‚ and L. Kohlberg are fundamental in explaining how a person develops. In Piaget’s case he described cognitive development in four stages- sensorimotor‚ preoperational‚ concrete operational‚ and formal operational. In Piaget’s sensorimotor stage which is usually from birth to age 2‚ babies experience the world through their sensory and motor interactions with objects such as through looking‚ hearing‚ touching

Statistics are useful in almost all disciplines. They are used in statistical analysis of results of an experiment‚ prediction of future values‚ growth and trend analysis‚ systematic presentation of data in the form of tables‚ diagrams and

largest value. This is a step function that increases by 1/N at the value of each ordered data point. The graph below is a plot of the empirical distribution function with a normal cumulative distribution function for 100 normal random numbers. The K-S test is based on the maximum distance between these two curves. Characteristics and Limitations of the K-S TestAn attractive feature of this test is that the distribution of the K-S test statistic itself does not depend on the underlying cumulative distribution
