Statistics. Descriptive Vs Inferential.

Descriptive Statistics of Uni-Variate data:

1. Variable. Types of Variables: Categorical Variables and Quantitative Variable
s (Continuous and Discrete Variables). Measurement Scales. Nominal Scaled, Ordin
al Scaled, Interval Scaled and Ratio Scaled data.
2. Distribution. Describing distributions by describing Shape, Central Tendency
and Spread. Types of distributions.
3. Central Tendency. Measures of Central Tendency: Lowest Number, Mean, First Qu
artile(Q1), Second Quartile or Median(Q2), Third Quartile(Q3), Largest Number,
Inter-Quartile Range and Mode. Five Measure Summary. Outliers.
5. Shape of Distributions: Symmetrical, Left Skewed, Right Skewed. Measures of C
entral Tendency in each of the shape cases.
x
6. Spread or Variance. Measures of Spread: Mean Deviation, Standard Deviation, V
ariance
7. Graphical Representation.
Descriptive Statistics of Bi-Variate data:
1. Describing Bi-Variate distributions by describing Form, Direction and Strengt
h of the Relationship.
2. Form of Relationship: Linear, Curved.
3. Direction of Relationship: Positive or Negative
4. Strength of Relationship: Weak, moderate or strong.
5. Linear relationships. Correlation. Correlation Co-efficient. Regression. Leas
t Squares Regression.
6.
Density Curve. Normal Curve and Normal Distribution. Area under Normal Curve.
Empirical Rule of Normal Distributions or 68, 95, 99.7 Rule.
Assessing Normality.
Inferential Statistics:
1. Population Vs Sample. Parameter Vs Statistic.
