What is Statistics?• Satistics - a branch of mathematics that have applications in daily life• like a “language” that have to be learned• Involves gathering, analysis and presentation of data.• Always encounter in our daily life. Unavoidable.• Example, in department of statistics, Malaysia…

Uses of Statistics• General usage:
– a theoretical discipline in its own right – a tool for researchers in other fields– a general tool to draw general conclusions in a large variety of
applications
• In Politics– Forecasting and predicting winners of elections
• where to concentrate campaign appearances• how and when to advertise• where to spend money effectively …
• In Industry– To market product.
• For example, to predict the average length of life of a light bulb, cannot test all the bulbs, so choose some sample to obtain the statistics.

Statistics in IT?• Analysis of experimentation results
• Design and developments of statistical softwares
• One of the machine learning methods uses statistical concepts – The Statistical Learning theory

What’s involved in Statistics?• Collects numbers or data
• Systematically organizes or arranges the data
• Analyzes the data…extracts relevant information to provide a complete numerical description
• Infers general conclusions about the problem using this numerical description

Do you think that the United States war on Do you think that the United States war on terrorism will spread to countries other than terrorism will spread to countries other than Afghanistan?Afghanistan?
YES 64%YES 64% NO 34%NO 34%
Do you think that the United States should be Do you think that the United States should be directly involved in negotiating peace directly involved in negotiating peace agreements in other parts of the world?agreements in other parts of the world?
YES 62%YES 62% NO 31%NO 31%
THE WAR ON TERRORISMTHE WAR ON TERRORISM
• A newspaper produce the results of its survey on terrorism as follows
How do we get the poll?
Ask everyone?
Is it possible?
OF COURSE..NOT

Problems in Statistics• Need the conclusion and prediction
about the whole body of measurements, eg: Malaysians
• Solution: Use a smaller set of measurement to represent the whole body of measurements
• But we cannot survey on them all.• Sometimes, a the whole body of measurements is
large and cannot be totally enumerated.
POPULATION
SAMPLE
![Page 8: 1 MATB344 Applied Statistics Chapter 0: Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ebd5503460f94bc7477/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Examples• To predict the average length of life of a light
bulb - to enumerate the population is destructive. We
cannot take all light bulb and test.- So, select a smaller number of light bulb as a
sample • To forecast the winner of an election
- population of the whole country is too big and people do change their mind
- So, select a group of people in certain location to be the sample.

Common Terms• Experimental Units: The set of items or objects on
which measurements are taken • Sample (or Population): The set of measurements
taken on the experimental units.• Examples:
– Light bulbs• Experimental unit = a bulb• Sample = the measures of operating life of all the
bulbs.– Opinion polls
• Experimental unit = person• Sample = the set of opinions of each person of who
the winner of an election is.

Two kinds of Statistics
• Inferential Statistics
• Descriptive Statistics
![Page 11: 1 MATB344 Applied Statistics Chapter 0: Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ebd5503460f94bc7477/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
Descriptive Statistics• Used to describe sets of measurements.• Example : Bar charts, pie charts, line
charts etc.• Suitable for entire population.
• DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS consists of procedures used to summarize and describe the set of measurements.
![Page 12: 1 MATB344 Applied Statistics Chapter 0: Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ebd5503460f94bc7477/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Inferential Statistics
• Used to describe / make inferences about a population based on statistics of the sample.
• Used when we cannot enumerate the whole population
• INFERENTIAL STATISTICS: Procedures used to draw conclusions or inferences about the population from information contained in the sample.
![Page 13: 1 MATB344 Applied Statistics Chapter 0: Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ebd5503460f94bc7477/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Objective of Inferential Statistics
• To make inferences about a population– draw conclusions– make prediction– make decision
from information contained in a sample.
• The statistician’s job is to find the best way to do this.
![Page 14: 1 MATB344 Applied Statistics Chapter 0: Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ebd5503460f94bc7477/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

But, …
• How can we be sure that the poll result is reliable?• We need a measure of reliability.
Who makes the best burgers? Votes Percent
McDonalds 123 Votes 13%
Burger King 384 Votes 39%
Wendy’s 304 Votes 31%
All three have equally good burgers
72 Votes 7%
None of these have good burgers 98 Votes 10%
consider this internet opinion poll…
Our conclusions could be incorrect…

Steps in Inferential Statistics
• Define the objective of the experiment and the population of interest
• Determine the design of the experiment and the sampling plan to be used
• Collect and analyze the data• Make inferences about the population from
information in the sample• Determine the goodness or reliability of the
inference.
![Page 16: 1 MATB344 Applied Statistics Chapter 0: Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ebd5503460f94bc7477/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Step 1:
• Define the objective of the experiment and the population of interest
Example : In Presidential ElectionObjective : To determine Who will get the most votesPopulation: Set of all votes (from all registered voters)Sample : Sample voters from each states in USA.
![Page 17: 1 MATB344 Applied Statistics Chapter 0: Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ebd5503460f94bc7477/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17
Step 2:
• Determine the design of the experiment and the sampling plan to be used
• To decide how to select sample.
• How big a sample to select.
• How much will it cost if the sample is selected.
![Page 18: 1 MATB344 Applied Statistics Chapter 0: Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ebd5503460f94bc7477/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Step 3:
• Collect and analyze the data
• Collect information from the sample
• Use appropriate method of analysis
![Page 19: 1 MATB344 Applied Statistics Chapter 0: Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649ebd5503460f94bc7477/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19
Step 4:
• Make inferences about the population from information in the sample
• Use information from the analysis to make inference
• Many methods but only one is the most accurate. Choose the best.

20
Step 5:
• Determine the goodness or reliability of the inference.
• Inference might be wrong because we’re not looking at the whole population.
• Need to have measure of reliability

Conclusion: Learn to View Statistics Critically
• Why? Because Statistics can lie.• According to people against statistics - there
are three kinds of lies…..– Lies– Damn Lies– Statistics
• Be positive!!!You need to make statistics work for you, not lie for you!

Making Reliable Statistics
• Use software tools to help perform the procedures.
• List of Softwares:
– MINITAB
– SPSS
– Microsoft EXCEL
– Java applets.
