CH 225: Data Analysis and Interpretation

The role of statistics, Graphical and numerical methods for

describing and summarizing data. Probability. Population
distributions. Sampling variability and sampling
distributions. Estimation using a single sample. Hypothesis
testing a single sample. Comparing two populations or
treatments. Simple linear regression and correlation. Case
studies.

Descriptive Statistics: Part of statistics concerned with the

description and summarization of data

Inferential Statistics: Part of statistics concerned with the

drawing of conclusions from data

Population: The total collection of all the elements that we are interested in

Sample: A subgroup of the population that will be studied in detail

Random and Stratified Random Sample

Percentile:
To find the sample 100p percentile of a data set of size n
1. Arrange the data in increasing order
2. Calculate the Rank (R):
R = (P/100) (N+1)
P is required Percentile and N is the total no of data points

If R is an integer, Pth percentile is the number with Rank R

If R is not an integer: Use IR+FR method
