STATISTICS REVIEWER

-is the planet earth bigger than venus-no

-what is the habit of your brother- no

-did u eat your bfast this morning- no

-what is the typical size of a filipino fam- yes

-planning or designing in a way that maximize content and minimizes bias

2 types of variables

•quali- categorical, what kind

•quanti- how much, how many

Four Levels of Measurement:

•Nominal- labeling, categorizing, naming example:age, sex, section, civil status

•Ordinal-arrange in sequence, ranks categories in order,

example: class ranking, educational bg, income, salary grade, scores, leader board, promotions/positions

•Ratio and Interval -same with one key difference

•Ratio-has true zero

example: weight, age, height

•Interval- no true zero

example: temperature, iq

-known and evenly space intervals between the values

Random variable

•random variable-numerical quantity that is measurable/assigned to an outcome of an experiment

•discrete-often a result of counting

•continuous-often a result of measuring

2 properties that should be satisfied

-sum of all probabilities is equal to 1

-each of the values of the probabilities is greater than or equal to zero but less than or equal to 1

getting the mean and variance

-mean- summation of x times the probability of x

-variance- summation of(x-mean)^2×p(x)

-sd- squareroot of variance

-mean-expected value

Properties of normal curve:

-bell-shaped

-symmetrical abt the mean

-total area is 1

-asymptotic

-2 inflection points

-highest point is the mean

-continuous

-mean and sd

When to the left: Area in the table as it is

When to the right: 1 minus area in the table

When in between: Subtract lower area from the higher area

-the higher the sd the wider the normal curve is

-the lower the sd the narrower the normal curve is

-identifying areas under the normal curve

•Percentile and Z-score

•Parameter - population

•Statistics - sample

•Sampling distribution

•Determining of possible samples

•Mean
