Statistics
Numerical facts such as averages, medians, percents, and index numbers.
Art and science of collecting, analyzing, presenting, and interpreting data.

Data and Data Sets
Data are the facts and figures collected, analyzed, and summarized for presentation and interpretation.
The data set is all the data collected in a particular study.

4 Slide
Elements are the entities on which data are collected.
A variable is a characteristic of interest for the elements.
An observation is the set of measurements obtained for a particular element.
Elements, Variables, and Observations

Scales of Measurement
Nominal – labels or names.• E.g., CoB, CoST, CoAL, CoH; male or female;
department 1, 2, 3, 4, … Ordinal - have the properties of nominal data
and the order or rank of the data is meaningful.• E.g., Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, or Senior

8 Slide
Scales of Measurement
Interval – have the properties of ordinal data, and the interval between observations is expressed in terms of a fixed unit of measure.• E.g., ACT score of 23, 24, 25, …; years.• Numeric
Ratio - have all the properties of interval data and the ratio of two values is meaningful.• E.g., 30 credit hours versus 120 credit hours• Must include zero

Cross-Sectional or Time Series Data
Cross-sectional data are collected at the same or approximately the same point in time.• E.g., Building permits in January
Time series data are collected over several time periods.• E.g., Building permits each month
![Page 13: Data and Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816136550346895dd0912c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13 Slide
Data Sources
Existing Sources – data already exists. Statistical Studies – data obtained through a
study.• Experimental Studies – variable of interest
identified and other variables controlled.• Observational studies – no attempt is made
to control or influence the variables of interest.

Statistical Inference
Use data from a sample to make estimates or test hypotheses about a population.
![Page 16: Data and Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56816136550346895dd0912c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Statistical Inference
Population – set of all elements in a particular study.• Census – collects data about entire
population. Sample – a subset of the population.
• Sample survey – collects data for a sample.

Statistical Inference
Population Sample
Statistics about sample
Statistics about the sample provide an estimate of the population.
