Warm-Up
How do I find the mean and median of a data set?
![Page 3: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Introduction to Statistics
How do I understand statistics as a process for making inferences about population parameters based on a random sample from that population?
How do I recognize the purposes of and difference among statistical data gathering methods?
![Page 4: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What is/are statistics?
Statistics is a way of reasoning, along with a collection of tools and methods, designed to help us understand the world.
Statistics are particular calculations made from data
![Page 5: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Population Data or Sample Data?
Population data is used when you are gathering data from every individual of interest.
Ex: Asking the entire football team a question
Sample data is used when you are gathering data from some of the individuals of interest.
Ex: Asking only the offensive line a question and apply it to the entire football team
![Page 6: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Population Data or Sample Data?
You want to know the average GPA of North Forsyth students, so you ask all of the students in all of your classes.
Population
Sample

Parameter vs. Statistic
A statistic is a descriptive measure computed from a sample of data.
A parameter is a descriptive measure computed from an entire population of data.
Inferential statistics enables you to make an educated guess about a population parameter based on a statistic computed from a sample randomly drawn from that population.
![Page 8: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Correlation vs. Causation Correlation: The degree to which two or more
measurements on the same group of elements show a tendency to vary together.
Causation: The degree to which one causes the other to happen.
Correlation does not imply causation
Example: There is correlation between the number of people wearing shorts and temperature. More people wearing shorts doesn’t cause higher temperatures!
![Page 9: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ways to Gather Data Survey – a questionnaire used to collect
interesting data on a certain topic from a sample of people.
EX: You want to find out how many students in your class had a summer job.
EX: The government wants to determine average household income in the United States.
EX: You want to know if tattoos have an influence on a person’s GPA.
![Page 10: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ways to Gather Data Observational Study – we observe individuals and
measure variables of interest but do not attempt to influence the responses. Observational Studies may show a correlation between variables, but cannot always guarantee causation.
EX: A study of child care enrolled 1364 infants in 1991 and planned to follow them through their sixth year in school. In 2003, the researchers published an article finding that “the more time children spent in child care from birth to age four-and-a-half, the more adults tended to rate them, both at age four-and-a-half and at kindergarten, as less likely to get along with others, as more assertive, as disobedient, and as aggressive.”
![Page 11: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Ways to Gather Data Experiment – we deliberately impose some
treatment on (that is, do something to) individuals in order to observe their responses. Experiments can carry more convincing evidence of a cause and effect relationship.
EX: “Take the Pepsi Challenge” – in the 80’s Pepsi had a huge marketing scheme that had people do a blind taste test to see which soda they preferred – Pepsi or Coke.
EX: Does Vitamin C reduce the causes of getting a common cold?

Warm-UpDetermine if the following is a
survey, experiment, or observational study.Students are asked about their
favorite music.Walking in a classroom to see if
technology is efficiently used.Deciding if Claritin or Allegra is the
best allergy medicine.

SamplingWhen conducting a survey,
experiment, or observational study, it is almost impossible to survey everyone in a population so people use various sampling methods to gather information.
One major concern about sampling methods is whether it is a biased or unbiased method to gather information.
![Page 14: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sampling Methods Random sampling: when everyone in a
population has an equal chance of being chosen in the experiment.
Stratified sampling: when the population is first divided into similar categories and the number of members in each category is determined.
Systematic sampling: when you determine a method for which to choose members of the population (assign numbers to the population and then choose every 5th person to participate)
Cluster sampling: when you randomly put the population into clusters and then choose a cluster randomly and then randomly choose people in that cluster to participate.
![Page 15: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Example if selecting 10 animals from 25 dogs, 15
cats, and 10 rabbits Random sampling: when everyone in a population has an equal chance of being chosen in the experiment.
Randomly selecting 10 from all 50 animals
Stratified sampling: when the population is first divided into similar categories and the number of members in each category is determined. Select 5 from 25 dogs, 3 from 15 cats and 2 from the rabbits
Systematic sampling: when you determine a method for which to choose members of the population (assign numbers to the population and then choose every 5th person to participate) Give every animal a random number and then choose every 5th number
Cluster sampling: when you randomly put the population into clusters and then choose a cluster randomly and then randomly choose people in that cluster to participate.
Randomly put the animals into 2 groups of 25, choose a group, and then choose 10 from that selected group.

Biased Questions Some questions may use language that people
can associate with emotions: How much of your time do you waste on Facebook?
Do you prefer the wonderful math class or boring Shakespeare Class?
Some questions may refer to a majority or supposed authority: Would you agree with the NCAE that teachers should
be paid more for earning their master’s degree?
Phrased awkwardly: Do you disagree with people who oppose the ban on
smoking in public places?
![Page 17: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sampling Bias Occurs when one or more sub groups of a population
are either over represented or under represented when conducting a survey or experiment. It must be random and fair selection
Voluntary: People voluntarily turn in a survey
Convenience: Questioner stays in one place
Exclusion: Only asking certain members
Under representation: Not getting 1/6 or at least 30 people
Non-randomness: Calling the first five people on every page of the phonebook.
Self-selection: People choose groups
Lack of double-blinding: Sampler knows which group/product the person is selecting
![Page 18: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Errors in Summarizing Data
No causation of effect: The cause could be affected by something other than what is being studied. (correlation only)
(Ex: Frog with no legs are deaf)
No causation of accurate population: Applying your results to the population incorrectly.
(Ex: Just because 85% of this class like math, it doesn’t mean that 85% of all students at this school like math.)

Standard DeviationFirst, find the mean (average) of the
data setThe way to get the variance is to
subtract the mean from EACH valueSquare the each of step 2’s resultsFind the mean of the squared results
(variance)Take the square root of the variance

Probability Denoted by P(Event)
P(E) = favorable outcomes
total outcomes
This method for calculating probabilities is only appropriate when the outcomes of the sample space are equally likely.
![Page 24: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Experimental Probability
The relative frequency at which a chance experiment occurs
Flip a fair coin 30 times & get 17 heads i.e. 17/30
![Page 25: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Basic Rules of Probability
Rule 1. Legitimate Values
For any event E,
0 < P(E) < 1
Rule 2. Sample space
If S is the sample space,
P(S) = 1
![Page 26: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Rules Continued
Rule 3. Complement
For any event E,
P(E) + P(not E) = 1
Rule 4. Addition
If two events E & F are disjoint, P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F)
(General) If two events E & F are not disjoint, P(E or F) = P(E) + P(F) – P(E & F)
![Page 27: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Example #1 A large auto center sells cars made by many
different manufacturers. Three of these are Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. (Note: these are not simple events since there are many types of each brand.) Suppose that P(H) = .25, P(N) = .18, P(T) = .14.
Are these disjoint events? yes
P(H or N or T) =
P(not (H or N or T) =

Example #2
Musical styles other than rock and pop are becoming more popular. A survey of college students finds that the probability they like country music is .40. The probability that they liked jazz is .30 and that they liked both is .10. What is the probability that they like country or jazz?

Independent
Two events are independent if knowing that one will occur (or has occurred) does not change the probability that the other occurs A randomly selected student is female - What is the
probability she plays soccer for PWSH? Independent
A randomly selected student is female - What is the probability she plays football for PWSH?
Not Independent

Example #3A certain brand of light bulbs are
defective five percent of the time. You randomly pick a package of two such bulbs off the shelf of a store. What is the probability that both bulbs are defective?
Can you assume they are independent?

Probability
Probabilities are written as:
Fractions from 0 to 1
Decimals from 0 to 1
Percents from 0% to 100%
![Page 36: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
ProbabilityIf an event is certain to happen, then the
probability of the event is 1 or 100%.
If an event will NEVER happen, then the probability of the event is 0 or 0%.
If an event is just as likely to happen as to not happen, then the probability of the event is ½, 0.5 or 50%.

Fundamental Counting Principle
The fundamental counting principle says that the number of possible combinations is the product of the items multiplied together.
Example: Ms. Taylor has 12 shirts, 5 pairs of jeans, and 6 pairs of shoes to choose from, how many outfits are possible? 12 * 5 * 6 = 360 outfits
![Page 39: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Permutations
Order DOES matter!Example: I have 245 students that
competed in a mathematics game. There is a first, second, and third place winner, how many ways can I choose the winners?
![Page 40: Unit 1 Introduction to Statistics](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022082417/5681349e550346895d9b95af/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Combinations
Order DOESN’T matter!Joe has 54 species of animals and he
wants to pick 5 different ones, how many combinations are possible?
