INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS
Definitions “ Statistics is a numerical statement of facts in any department of enquiry placed in relation to each other’.  -Bowley “ Statistics are the classified facts representing the conditions of the people in a State specially those facts which can be stated in numbers or any tabular or classified arrangement”.  -Webster   “ Statistics can be defined as the aggregate of facts affected to a marked extent by multiplicity of causes, numerically expressed, enumerated or estimated according to a reasonable standard of accuracy, collected in in a systematic manner, for a pre-determined purpose and placed in relation to each other”.  -Secrist Statistics is the science of collecting, organizing , analyzing, interpreting and presenting data.
SCOPE OF STATISTICS 1.Social Sciences -Man Power Planning  -Crime Rates -Income & Wealth Analysis of Society -In studying Pricing, Production, Consumption, Investments & Profits etc.  2.Planning -Agriculture -Industry -Textiles -Education etc. For ex. Five Year Plans in India. n
SCOPE OF STATISTICS contd… 3 .  Mathematics -Extensive use of Differentiation, Algebra, Trigonometry, Matrices etc in modern business analysis. -Statistics now treated as Applied Mathematics. 4.   Economics -   Family   Budgeting -Applied in solving economic problems related to production, consumption, distribution of products as per income & wealth related patterns, wages, prices, profits & individual savings, investments, unemployment & poverty etc.

Definitions Continued Observations: Numerical quantities that measure specific characteristics. Examples include height, weight, gross sales, net profit, etc.
Some More Definitions Raw Data: Data collected in original form. Classes / class intervals: Subgroups within a set of collected data. Ex.10-20,20-30 etc Width of class-interval = upper limit – lower limit Mid – Value = (U.L + L.L)/2 Frequency: The number of times a certain value or class of values occurs. Frequency Distribution Table: The organization of raw data into table form using classes and frequencies.
More Definitions Cumulative Frequency of a class is the sum of the frequency of that class and the frequencies of all the preceding or succeeding classes which are listed in some sensible order (numerical order, alphabetical order, etc.)

Introduction to Measures of Central Tendency Also known as averages. Values show a distinct tendency to cluster or group around a value. This behavior is central tendency of data. The value around which the data clusters is the measure of central tendency which represents the whole set of data.
Objectives of Averages To find out one value that represents the whole mass of data. To enable comparison. To establish relationship. To derive inferences about universe to which sample belongs. To aid decision – making.
Requisites of a Good Average Should be rigidly defined. Should be mathematically expressed. Should be readily comprehensible & easy to calculate. Should be calculated on the basis of all the observations. Should be least affected by extreme values and sampling fluctuations. Should be suitable for further mathematical treatment.
Common Measures of Central Tendency Arithmetic Mean Geometric Mean  Harmonic Mean Median Mode Partition Values like Deciles ,Quartiles & Percentiles.

Determining missing frequency when A.M is known - Illustration Soln .  ÎĽ   =  A +  ÎŁ  fd  x I ÎŁ f ÎĽ  = 16.82 (given) , I = 5 Hence 16.82 = 17.5 +  (  -12  ) x  5 70 + f 4 - 0.68 =  - 60 70 + f 4   - 0.68 (70 + f 4 ) = - 60  f 4  = 12.4/0.68 = 18 approx.   Ans.
Some More Applications of A.M Q1.The avg. marks secured by 50 students was 44.Later on it was discovered that a score 36 was misread as 56. Find the correct average marks secured by the students. Soln . Given N = 50 and mean  μ  = 44 μ  =  Σ X  N Σ X = 44N  i.e  Σ X = 44x55 Σ X = 2200 Since 36 was misread as 56 Hence correct  Σ X = 2200 – 56 + 36 = 2180 Correct mean = 2180/50 = 43.6  Ans.
Combined A.M Suppose for k different series with n 1 ,n 2 ……n k  observations each, the respective A.M s are  μ 1 , μ 2 ,…. μ k . Then the A.M of the new series obtained on combining all the n 1 ,n 2 ,…n k  observations is obtained using the formula: μ  =  n 1 μ 1 +n 2 μ 2 +….+n k μ k n 1 +n 2 +….+n k
Illustration- Combined A.M There are two branches of a Co. employing 100 and 80employees respectively .If A.Ms of the monthly salaries paid by the two branches are Rs.4570 and  Rs.6750 respectively, find the A.M of the salaries of the employees of the Co. as a whole. Soln . Given No. of employees in 1 st  factory, n 1  = 100  Avg. Salary of employees in 1 st  factory,  ÎĽ 1  = Rs. 4750 No. of employees in 2 nd  factory, n 2  = 80 Avg. Salary of employees in 2 nd  factory,  ÎĽ 2  = Rs.6750 Avg salary of the employees of the Co. as a whole =  100 x 4750 + 80 x 6750   =  997000  = Rs. 5538.89 100 + 80  180

Merits of A.M Is rigidly defined and has a definite value. Is based on all the observations. Is capable of algebraic treatments for further data analysis & interpretation. Easy to calculate & simple to understand. For a large no. of observations, A.M provides a good basis of comparison.
Drawbacks of A.M Being based on all the observations, is considerably affected by abnormal observations. For ex. A.M of 1000, 25, 35 & 40 will be (1000+25+35+40)/4 = 275 which is not at all a representative figure. Cannot be calculated even if a single observation is missing. Cannot be obtained just by inspection as in case of median & mode. May give absurd results. For ex. If avg. no. of children per family is to be calculated and the result is 3.4 children per family, how would you interpret it?
Weighted Arithmetic Mean Formula Used μ w =  x 1 w 1 + x 2 w 2  +…….+x n w n  w 1 + w 2  +…….+w n

Illustration – Weighted A.M Weighted A.M =  Σ  wX Σ w =  106000 350 = Rs 302.857  Ans.
Median – Positional Average The value of the middle term of a series  arranged in ascending or descending order of magnitude. Its value is the value of the middle item irrespective of all other values.
Calculation of Median  Individual Series N = no. of observations or items in the series - Arrange all the items in ascending or descending order of magnitude. Case I  N = Odd Median = Value at  (N+1)  th position in  2  the arranged series. Case II  N = Even Median = A.M of values at ( N ,  N +1)th  2  2  position.
Calculation of Median – Illustration  (Individual Series)  Ex.1   Find the median  5, 7, 9, 12, 10, 8, 7, 15,21 Solution:  Arranging in ascending order we get  5, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 21  Here N = 9 i.e odd Hence Md =  (N+1)  th item in the arranged order 2 =  (9 +1)  th item   2  = 5 th item = 9  Ans.
Calculation of Median – Illustration  (Individual Series) Ex 2.  Find the median 10, 18, 9, 17, 15, 24, 30, 11 Solution  Arranging in ascending order we get 9, 10, 11, 15, 17, 18, 24, 30 Here N = 8 i.e even Hence Md = A.M of the (  N  ,  N +1)th items in the  2  2 arranged  order. = A.M of (4 th , 5 th ) items =  (15 + 17)   2 = 16  Ans.

Calculation of Median Grouped Frequency Distribution ( i) Find less than type cum.frequency. (ii) Find N/2.( N =  Σ f) (iii) Find the cum.freq. just greater than N/2. Suppose it is X. (iv) Look for the cum.freq. preceding X. Find the corresponding class interval.This is median class Formula Used Where L1 = L.L of median class L2 = U.L of median class C =cum.freq. of class preceding the median class. f = frequency of median class.  Md = L1 +  N/2 - C   (L2 – L1) f
Calculation of Median-Illustration (Grouped Freq. Distribution) N/2 = 3600/2 = 1800 Cum.freq. just greater than 1800 is 2600. Hence median class is 25-30. Hence L1 = 25 L2 = 30 C = 1800 f =  800 Md = 25 +  1800 - 1800  (30 – 25 ) 800 = 25  Ans.   Σ f= 3600 3600 400 35-40 3200 600 30-35 2600 800 25-30 1800 900 20-25 900 700 15-20 200 200 10-15 Cum.

Calculation of  Missing Frequencies when median is known : Illustration Here median = 50  L 1  = 40 N = 100  L 2  = 60 N/2 = 50  f =  27 Hence median class 40-60  C = 14 + f1 Md = L 1  +  N/2 - C   (L 2  – L 1 ) f 50 = 40 +  50 – (14 + f 1 ) (60 – 40) 27 10 =  720 – 20 f 1 27 f 1  = 450/20 = 22.5 = 23 families approx.  N = 56 + f 1  + f 2 100 = 56 + 23 + f 2 f 2  = 21  Ans. f 1  = 23 and f 2  = 21

Merits - Median Is rigidly defined. Can be easily calculated. Not affected by extreme values. Can be located merely by inspection.
Demerits - Median May not represent  the entire series in many cases. Not suitable for further algebraic treatment. More likely to be affected by sampling fluctuations.
Mode The value occurring the largest no. of times in a series. That is the value having the maximum frequency.  Is calculated for discrete and continuous frequency distributions only. For ex. How to obtain the mode for 1,2,3,4,5 ? as the maximum frequency is 1 and each observation has frequency 1.
Mode – Discrete Frequency Distribution The value corresponding to maximum frequency is the mode. For ex . The weight 132 pounds has the maximum frequency 3. Hence 130 pounds is the mode for this frequency distribution. 10 Total 1 141 1 140 2 135 2 132 3 130 1 120 No.of students Wt. in pounds
Mode – Continuous Frequency Distribution 1.Look for the class-interval with maximum frequency. This is the modal class. 2. Note down the following: L 1  = lower limit of the modal class. i = width of class-interval f 0  = frequency of class preceding the modal class.  f 1  = frequency of modal class. f 2  = frequency of class succeeding the  modal class.
Mode: Formula for Continuous Frequency Distribution Mode = L1  +  h(f1 – f0)  2f1-f0-f2
Empirical Relationship between Mean, Median & Mode Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean
Geometric Mean Individual Series G = (x 1 .x 2 .x 3 ……x n ) 1/n log G =  1   (logx 1  + log x 2  +….+ logx n ) n   G = antilog (  1  Σ  log x) n
Geometric Mean Discrete Frequency Distribution G = (x 1 f1 .x 2 f2 …….x n fn ) 1/N log G =  1 ( f 1 logx 1  + f 2 logx 2  +……+x n logf n ) N G = antilog (  1   Σ f i logx i ) N
Geometric Mean Continuous Frequency Distribution - Formula same as in case of discrete frequency distribution with x (as observations) replaced by x (as mid-values)
Harmonic Mean Reciprocal of A.M of reciprocals - Individual Series H =  1  1 (  1  +  1  +…..+  1  )  n  x 1  x 2   x n  H =  n  Σ ( 1   )   x
Harmonic Mean -Discrete Frequency Distribution H =  1  1 ( f 1  + f 2 +…..+ f n  )  N  x 1  x 2   x n  H =  N  Σ ( f i   )   x i
Harmonic Mean Continuous Frequency Distribution - Formula same as that of Discrete Frequency Distribution with x (as observations) replaced by x (as mid values).

  • 52. Merits of A.M Is rigidly defined and has a definite value. Is based on all the observations. Is capable of algebraic treatments for further data analysis & interpretation. Easy to calculate & simple to understand. For a large no. of observations, A.M provides a good basis of comparison.
  • 53. Drawbacks of A.M Being based on all the observations, is considerably affected by abnormal observations. For ex. A.M of 1000, 25, 35 & 40 will be (1000+25+35+40)/4 = 275 which is not at all a representative figure. Cannot be calculated even if a single observation is missing. Cannot be obtained just by inspection as in case of median & mode. May give absurd results. For ex. If avg. no. of children per family is to be calculated and the result is 3.4 children per family, how would you interpret it?

  • 56. Illustration – Weighted A.M Weighted A.M = ÎŁ wX ÎŁ w = 106000 350 = Rs 302.857 Ans.
  • 57. Median – Positional Average The value of the middle term of a series arranged in ascending or descending order of magnitude. Its value is the value of the middle item irrespective of all other values.
  • 58. Calculation of Median Individual Series N = no. of observations or items in the series - Arrange all the items in ascending or descending order of magnitude. Case I N = Odd Median = Value at (N+1) th position in 2 the arranged series. Case II N = Even Median = A.M of values at ( N , N +1)th 2 2 position.
