BASIC STATISTICS

STATISTICS

It is science of  data which is mainly concerned with collection,organizing,analysis and interpretation of data by providing suitable conclusion. For eg. data from healthcare, data of company sales.

Some terminology of Statistics:

1. Data: It is collection of meaningful information presented in proper format.

                                                                        
1.Primary Data: The data which is collected by  directly asking the questions related to research to people or respondent  and recording the responses. Some research do this by going on ground and asking to respondent and collecting data.For e.g. Take the election exit-pool where the company asks voters whom they voted,collect all data and prepare necessary conclusion,then they sell their conclusion to various news agency whom they  had tie-up.

2. Secondary Data: The data which can be collected through other sources, as the company collect it from research or data-collection which are into this business. For e.g product-based company who is launching a product want to study competitor product they take the help of company like IPSOS who has conducts and give data to the company.

Variables:
It is an attribute which describes a person,place,thing.It can vary from one entity to other.
for e.g, a person hair is a variable and person to person it changes.

1.Qualitative: It can take the values that are names or directly write the interview process which are taken by company,the customer and their view -points.
2.Quantitative:  It can take the values that are numbers, or convert it in numbers.for e.g population of a country.


1.Discrete:Variables which can take only finite set of values,i.e. 1,2,,6,7,8 etc.
2.Continous: If a variable can take on any value between its minimum value and its maximum value, it is called a continuous variable.for e.g. the fire department mandates that all fire fighters must weigh between 150 and 250 pounds.

Univarite and Bivarite:
1.Univarite: When we look for only one variable,for example, that we conducted a survey to estimate the average weight of high school students.
2 .Bivarite: When we look for two or more variable,Suppose we conducted a study to see if there were a relationship between the height and weight of high school students.

Cross-tabulation and How to measure chi-square in SPSS

                                                                      Cross-tabulation   It is used to measure the relationship in two categorical variables. It is used to measure the chi-square test. For measuring the chi-square test there are two conditions: 1.Variables should be measured in nominal or ordinal level. 2. Variables should contain two or more categorical or independent groups. For example, to teach statistics for undergraduates,educators have to know their auidence(male,female) and which mode of learning they want(online,offline).So,here two nominal variables gender and medium of learning. Steps how to do chi-square in SPSS using cross-tabulation: Step1:  Referring to the above examples, two...

BASIC STATISTICS ---Mean,Median and Mode

MMEAN,MEDIAN AND MODE In order to summarize your data, you can do this using two methods : Graphs. Central Tendency methods. 1 . Graphs: Using various graphs we can easily summarize our data and get into the result. 2. Central Tendency Method: It represents the center point or typical value of dataset. It represents the data to cluster to a middle value.   Measures of Central Tendency I t can be measured through three different: 1. Mean 2. Median 3. Mode 1. Mean: It is one of the common central tendency method used.It can used for discrete and continuous data.It is given by sum of all values of dataset divided by number of values in the dataset. So if we have n values in dataset and they have values like x1,x2,x3,x4 etc.                                               Mean Formula – Example #1 Let say you have a data set with 10 data points and we want to cal...

Measurement Scales in SPSS

                                       M Measurement Scales in SPSS 1.Nominal: It is measurement scale in which numbers are used as "tags"or "labels" which is used to classify an object.It deals with non-numeric variables.It is used for the purpose of classification. for example, in case of gender scale,it can be classified as Male=1 and Female=2. It is used for only for counting purposes. 2.Ordinal: It is the second level of measurement in which ranking of data without actually establishing the degree of variation between them. Likert Scale through which we can measure the order. Scale: Divided into two parts: 1. Interval Scale 2. Ratio Scale 1.Interval Scale: In this measurement variables are measured in exact manner not in relative manner. Example: Likert Scale Net Promoter Score(NPS) Bipolar Matrix Table 2.Ratio Scale It allows researchers ...
