LESSON 1 – Introduction to Statistics

Statistics
• a branch of Mathematics that examines and investigates ways to process and analyze the
data gathered
• provides procedure in data collection, presentation, organization, and interpretation to
have a meaningful idea that is useful to decision-makers

Types of Statistics
• Descriptive Statistics
– tell something about the particular group of observation
• Inferential Statistics
– logical process from sample analysis to a generalization or conclusion about a
population

Population and Sample


• Population
– consists of all the members of the group about which we want to draw a
conclusion
• Sample
– is a portion, or part, of the population of interest selected for analysis

Parameter and Statistic


• Parameter is a numerical index describing a characteristic of a population
• Statistic is a numerical index describing a characteristic of a sample

Sources of Data
• Primary data are data that come from an original source and are intended to answer
specific research questions, (e. g. Interview, mail-in questionnaire, survey, or
experimentation
• Secondary data are data that are taken from previously recorded data, such as information
in research conducted, industry financial statements, business periodicals, and
government reports (e. g. Internet websites, compact disk, etc.)

Constant and Variable


• Constant – is a characteristic of objects, people, or events that does not vary. For
example, the temperature at which water boils (1DD degrees Celsius) is a constant
• Variable – is a characteristic of objects, people, or events that can take of different values.
For example, weight of people, hair color of people(in quality)

Types of Data
• Qualitative Data (categorical data) – data that is conceptualized as distinct categories,
with no continuum implied (ex. Eye color, gender, occupation, religious preference)
• Quantitative Data (numerical data) – data that is conceptualized and analyzed along the
continuum implied. (ex. Height, weight, math aptitude, lust of life)

Classification of Variable
Variable can be classified into two according to purpose whether experimental or mathematical.

A. EXPERIMENTAL CLASSIFICATION - A researcher may classify variables according to


the function they serve in the experiment
 Independent Variable– expected to have an effect on the behavior of the subjects
 Dependent Variable– expected to be influenced by the independent variable

B. MATHEMATICAL CLASSIFICATION – A researcher may classify in terms of the


mathematical values they may take on within a given interval.
 Continuous Variable – is a variable which can assume any of an infinite number of
values, and can be associated with points on a continuous line interval.(Ex. Height,
weight, volume, etc.)
 Discrete Variable – is a variable which consist of either a finite number of values or
countable number of values(Ex. Gender, courses, olympic games, etc.)

Level of Measurement
LEVEL OF MEASUREMENT

NOMINAL Indicates a distinction


(ex. Student number)
ORDINAL Indicates a distinction

Sampling Techniques

RANDOM SAMPLING (Probability Sampling)


A sampling technique in which each unit in a population has a specifiable chance of
being selected. The motivation behind using probability sampling is to generate a
sample that is representative of the population in which it was drawn. Random
sampling does not guarantee that every random sample perfectly represents the
population. Instead, it means that most random samples will be close to the
population most of the time, and that one can calculate the probability of a particular
sample being accurate.

 Simple random sampling


In simple random sampling, a researcher develops an accurate sampling frame,
selects elements from the sampling frame according to a mathematically random
procedure, and then locates the exact element that was selected for inclusion in
the sample.

 Systematic sampling

Elements are randomly selected using a sampling interval. The sampling interval
(i.e., Kth is some number) tells the researcher how to select elements from a
sampling frame by skipping elements in the frame before selecting one for the
sample. For example, a researcher would have a list of 1,000 elements in her or
his population. Let’s assume the sample size is 100. In this case, the researcher
would select every 10th case. There are two tricks to this that must be followed:
first, the sample frame must have the elements ordered in a random way and
second; the starting point (the point at which the first element is selected for
inclusion into the sample) must be determined randomly.

 Stratified sampling
In stratified random sampling, a researcher first divides the population into sub-
populations (strata: defined as a characteristic of the population. For example,
female and male.) on the basis of supplementary information. After dividing the
population into strata, the researcher draws a random sample from each 25 sub-
population. In general, stratified sampling produces samples that are more
representative of the population than simple random sampling if the stratum
information is accurate.

 Cluster sampling
Cluster sampling addresses two problems: Researchers lack a good sampling
frame for a geographically dispersed population and the cost to reach a sampled
element is very high. Instead of using a single sampling frame, researchers use a
sampling design that involves multiple stages and clusters. A cluster is a unit that
contains final sampling elements but can be treated temporarily as a sampling
element itself. In other words, the researcher randomly samples clusters, and then
randomly samples elements from within the selected clusters; this has a big
practical advantage. He or she can create a good sampling frame of clusters, even
if it is impossible to create one for sampling elements. Once the researcher gets a
sample of clusters, creating a sampling frame for elements within each cluster
becomes more manageable. A second advantage for geographically dispersed
populations is that elements within each cluster are physically closer to one
another. This may produce a savings in locating or reaching each element.

NON-RANDOM SAMPLING (Nonprobability Sampling)


A sampling technique in which each unit in a population does not have a specifiable
probability of being selected. In other words, nonprobability sampling does not select
their units from the population in a mathematically random way. As a result,
nonrandom samples typically produce samples that are not representative of the
population. This also means that are ability to generalize from them is very limited.

 Convenience sampling (also known as Haphazard, Accidental)


A sampling procedure in which a researcher selects any cases in any manner that
is convenient to be included in the sample. Haphazard sampling can produce
ineffective, highly unrepresentative samples and is not recommended. When a
researcher haphazardly selects cases that are convenient, he or she can easily get a
sample that seriously misrepresents the population. Such samples are cheap and
quick; however, the systematic errors that easily occur make them worse than no
sample at all.

 Purposive sampling (also known as Judgmental)


Purposive sampling is an acceptable kind of sampling for special situations. It
uses the judgment of an expert in selecting cases or it selects cases with a specific
purpose in mind. Purposive sampling is used most often when a difficult-to-reach
population needs to be measured.

 Quota sampling
In quota sampling, a researcher first identifies relevant categories of people (e.g.,
male, female; under age of 30, over the age of 30), then decides how many to get
in each category. Thus, the number of people in various categories of the sample
is fixed.
 Snowball sampling (also called network, chain referral, or reputational)
Snowball sampling is a method for identifying and sampling the cases in a
network. It begins with one or a few people or cases and spreads out on the basis
of links to the initial cases.

Methods of Collecting Data


• Direct/Interview Method
– face-to-face encounter between interviewer and interviewee but time consuming,
expensive and has limited field
– indirect or Questionnaire Method
– uses questionnaires to obtain information
• Registration Method
– gathering information is governed by laws
• Observation Method
– used to data that are pertaining to behaviors of an individual or a group of
individuals at the time of occurrence of a given situation are best obtained by
observation; made only at the time or occurrence of the appropriate events
• Experiment Method
– used to determine the cause-and-effect relationship of certain phenomena under
controlled conditions; usually employed by scientific researchers.

Methods in Presenting Data


• Textual method – narrative form
• Tabular method- orderly arranged through rows and columns for an easier and more
comprehensive comparison of figures
• Graphical method – visual or pictorial form to get clear view of data
