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...

About ME

HEY! Everyone I am Rajat a passionate researcher love to analyze data statistics and interpret various research done previously. I created this blog in order to help the research enthusiast who want to learn statistics. You will learning the statistics from basic and step-by-step through analysis.  My Approach to Teaching Statistics I want to help you to learn statistics.But I am not telling, you to learn equation Don't get me wrong.Equations are necessary. I want you to learn true essence of statistics. I will help you to learn more about the graphs.However, I'' will focus on teaching in sequential manner.After all you will use statistical tool rather you don't have to remember the formulas. Why You Need to Understand Statistics The world is shifting more towards data-driven place,to draw come with insightful conclusion to a problem statement. Even if you are not performing statistical analysis how will trust the result of others true? This only happen when you know th...

RANGE, INTERQUARTILE RANGE AND BOX PLOT

Range: It is the difference between the highest and the lowest value. for example, 1. Range(team 1): 17.5 - 10.5 = 7 2.  Range(team 2): 27.7 - 0 = 27.7 As ranges takes only the count of extreme values sometimes it may not give you a good impact on variability.  In this case, you can go for another measure of variability called interquartile range (IQR). Interquartile Range (IQR):  It is a better measure of dispersion than  range  because  it leaves out the extreme values . It equally divides the distribution into four equal parts called quartiles. First 25% is 1 st  quartile (Q1), last one is 3 rd  quartile (Q3) and middle one is 2 nd  quartile (Q2). 2 nd  quartile (Q2) divides the distribution into two equal parts of 50%. So, basically it is same as  Median. How to calculate IQR: Step 1: Order from low to high Step 2: Find the median or in other words Q2 Step 3: Then find Q1 by looking the median of the left side of Q2 Steps 4: Sim...
