How Statistics works?

Takes a sample from a population.

There are many sampling techniques.

• Main Discussion

Definition

Coxton and Crowden

Statistics may be defined as the science of collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data.

Mechanism

• Data Collection
• Organization
• Analysis
• Interpretation
• Presentation

Population and Sample

Population: A set of similar items or events which is of interest Sample: Any subset of population

• Finite
• Infinite

Variable and Constant

• Variable
• Random Variable
• Constant

Examples

• Income of a regular employee
• Income of a freelancer
• Any unchanging number, e.g, \(\pi\)
  
• Result of a die throw
• Father’s name
• Mark of a subject
• GPA of a student

Types of Variable

• Qualitative
• Quantitative
• Discrete: Limited and pre-specified
• Continuous: Can take on any values between any two given number

Univariate, Multivariate

Scale of Measurement

Describes nature of information within the values.

• Nominal: Name of Insignificant number, e.g., color, Street no.,
• Ordinal: Order matters, e.g., rating
• Interval: Zero may not be zero, like temperature
• Ratio: Zero is 0; most variables fall in this category

Examples

• Gender
• Religion
• Temperature
• Income group (Lower class, Low, Middle, High)
• Income
• Distance of stars
• Radius of screws
• Diameter of trees
• Room no.

Another Example

Match as per suitable scale

Examples of Interval Scale

Multiplication/division cannot be carried out

• Temperature (Celsius scale)
• Dates (AD)
• Location in Cartesian coordinates
• Direction measured in degrees

Operation with scales

Shifting origin and scale

Say we have values, \(x_1, x_2, \cdot \cdot \cdot , x_n\)

• Origin shift: Adding/Subtracting
• \(y_1 = x_1-a \space or \space x_1+a\)
• Scale shift: Multiplying/Division
• \(y_1 = b \cdot x_1 \space or \space x_1/b\)
• both: \(y_i = \frac{x_i-a}{b}\)

Use of Summation sign

\[x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + x_4 = \sum_{i=1}^4 x_i\]

\[x_1 + x_2 + ... x_n = \sum_{i=1}^n x_i\]

\[x_1 + x_2 + ... x_{10} = ?\]

Theorem 01: \(\Sigma bx_i\)

\[\sum_{i=1}^n bx_i=b \sum_{i=1}^n x_i\]

Theorem 02: \(\Sigma (ax_i-b)\)

\[\sum_{i=1}^n (ax_i-b)=a \sum_{i=1}^n x_i-nb\]

Quick tips

• \(\sum_{i=1}^n a = na\)
• Can you prove it?

Theorem 03: \(\Sigma (ax_i^2-bx_i+c\)

\[\sum_{i=1}^n (ax_i^2-bx_i+c)=a\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2-b\sum_{i=1}^n x_i + nc\]

Theorem 04: \(\Sigma (ax_i-by_i)\)

\[\sum_{i=1}^n (ax_i-by_i)=a\sum_{i=1}^n x_i - b \sum_{i=1}^n y_i\]

Theorem 05: \(\Sigma (ax_i-b)^2\)

\[\sum_{i=1}^n (ax_i-b)^2=a^2 \sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2 - 2ab \sum_{i=1}^n x_i + nb^2\]

Theorem 06: \((\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2\)

\[(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i^2 + \sum_{i \ne j}^n\sum x_ix_j\]

Quick Tip

\[\prod_{i=1}^k x_i = x_1 \times x_2 \times \cdot \cdot \cdot \times x_n\]

Theorem 07: \(\prod_{i=1}^k x_iy_i\)

\[\prod_{i=1}^k x_iy_i = (\prod_{i=1}^k x_i)(\prod_{i=1}^k y_i)\]

Theorem 08: \(\Sigma \Sigma (x_i+y_j)\)

Theorem: \(\Sigma \Sigma x_iy_j\)

\(\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^m \sum_{i=1}^n x_iy_j=(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i) (\sum_{i=1}^n y_j)\)

• \(\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^m (x_iy_1+x_iy_2+\cdots+x_iy_n)\)
• \(\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^m x_i(y_1+y_2+\cdots+y_n)\)
• \(\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^m x_i \sum_{i=1}^n y_i\)

Theorem: \(\Sigma \Sigma (X_i+Y_j)\)

\(\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{j=1}^m (x_i + y_j) = m \sum_{i=1}^n x_i + n \sum_{i=1}^m y_j\)

• L.H.S = \(\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n (x_i + y_1 + x_i + y_2 + \cdots +x_i + y_m)\)

• = \(\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n mx_i + (y_1 + y_2 + y_m) = \sum_{i=1}^n (mx_i + \sum_{j=1}^m y_j)\)

• Now expand \(\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n mx_i\)
