Chapter 1 Getting Started
1.1 What is Statistics?
![Page 2: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is Statistics?
• The science that deals with the collection, organization, and interpretation of data.
![Page 3: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Individuals vs. Variables
Individuals• People or objects included
in the study
Variables• Characteristic of the
individual to be measured or observed
![Page 4: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Quantitative vs. Qualitative
Quantitative Variables• Have value or numerical
measurement for which operations such as addition or averaging make sense
Qualitative/Categorica Variables
• Describes an individual by placing the individual into a category or group, such as male or female
![Page 5: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Population vs. Sample
Population Data• Data is from every
individual of interest• Population Parameters are
numerical measures that describe an aspect of a population
Sample Data• The data are from only
some of the individuals of interest
• Sample Statistics are numerical measures that describe an aspect of a sample
![Page 6: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Levels of Measurement
• Nominal – Names, Labels, Categories• Ordinal – Arranged in meaningful
mathematical order• Interval – Differences are meaningful• Ratio – Division or percentage comparisons
make sense; zero point

1.2 Random Samples
![Page 11: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Activity
• How can we use a Random Number Table (R.N.T.) to decide which 5 student homes or TL buildings could meet a celebrity who came to campus?– Note there are a total of 68 student homes and TL
buildings.
![Page 12: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Simple Random Sample (SRS)
• A simple random sample of n measurements from a population is a subset of the population selected in such a manner that every sample of size n from the population has an equal chance of being selected.
![Page 13: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Random Number Tables (RNT)
• Used to help secure a SRS• Steps:– Number all members of the population
sequentially (each must have the same number of digits)
– Drop a pin on the RNT to pick a starting point– Pull digits n at a time, discarding non-used
numbers– Repetition?

Systematic Sampling
• Population is numbered• Select a starting point at random and pick
every kth member
![Page 18: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Convenience Sampling
• Create sample by selecting population members which are easily available
![Page 19: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Stratified Sampling
• Divide population into distinct subgroups based on specific characteristics
• Draw random samples from each strata
![Page 20: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Cluster Sampling
• Divide population into pre-existing segments or clusters (often geographic).
• Make a random selection of clusters.• All members of cluster are chosen.
![Page 21: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Multistage Sampling
• Use a variety of sampling methods to create successively smaller groups at each stage.
• Final sample is made of clusters.

Census vs. Sample
• Census – measurements from observations from the entire population are used.
• Sample – measurements from observations from part of the population are used
![Page 25: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Observational Study vs. Experiment
• Observational Study – observations and measurements of individuals are conducted in a way that doesn’t change the response or the variable being measured
• Experiment – a treatment is deliberately imposed on the individuals in order to observe a possible change in the response or variable being measured
![Page 26: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Within Experiments:
• Placebo Effect – occurs when a subject receives no treatment but (incorrectly) believes he or she is in fact receiving treatment and responds favorably
• Control Group – those who receive the placebo treatment
• Treatment Group – those who receive the actual treatment
• Completely Randomized Experiment – one in which a random process is used to assign each individual to one of the treatments
![Page 27: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Completely Randomized Experiment
• C.R.E. – is one in which a random process is used to assign each individual to one of the treatments
![Page 28: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Characteristics of a Well-Designed Experiment
• Block – a group of individuals sharing some common features that might affect the treatment
• Randomized Block Experiment – individuals are first sorted into blocks, and then a random process is used to assign each individual in the block to one of the treatments
![Page 29: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Characteristics of a Well-Designed Experiment
• Control Groups – used to account for the influence of other known or unknown variables that might be an underlying cause of change in response in the experimental group.
• Lurking or Confounding Variables – such variables
![Page 30: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Characteristics of a Well-Designed Experiment
• Randomization – used to assign individuals to the two treatment groups. Helps to prevent bias in selecting members to the groups
• Replication – on many patients reduces the possibility that the differences in occurred by chance alone.
![Page 31: Chapter 1 Getting Started](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062314/5681396d550346895da102af/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Potential Pitfalls of Surveys
• Nonresponse• Truthfulness of Response• Faulty Recall• Hidden Bias• Vague Wording• Interview Influence• Voluntary Response
