Basic Terminology
There are a few statistical terms one should be aware of while dealing with statistics.
Population ParameterSample Variable

Basic Terminology
Population is the set of sources from which data has to be
collected.

Basic Terminology
A Sample is a subset of the Population.

Basic Terminology
A variable is any characteristics, number, or quantity that can
be measured or counted.
A variable may also be called a data item.

Types of Analysis
An analysis can be done in one of two ways.
Also known as Statistical Analysis,
it is the science of collecting &
interpreting objects with numbers.
Also known as Non-statistical
Analysis, it mostly deals with
generic data using text, media, etc

Inferential statistics makes inferences and predictions about a
population based on a sample of data taken from the population in
question.
Descriptive statistics uses the data to provide descriptions of the
population, either through numerical calculations or graphs or
tables.
Categories in Statistics
There are two major categories in Statistics.

Descriptive Statistics
This method, is mainly focused upon the main characteristics of data. It provides graphical
summary of the data.

Inferential Statistics
This method, generalizes a large dataset and applies probability to draw a conclusion. It allows us
to infer data parameters based on a statistical model using a sample data.

Descriptive Statistics – Statistical Measures

Descriptive Statistics – Use Case
Here is a sample dataset of cars containing
the variables: Cars, Mileage per
Gallon(mpg), Cylinder Type (cyl),
Displacement (disp), Horse Power(hp) &
Real Axle Ratio(drat).
Using descriptive Analysis, you can analyse
each of the variables in the dataset for
mean, standard deviation, minimum and
maximum.
Cars mpg cyl disp hp drat
A 21 6 160 110 3.9
B 21 6 160 110 3.9
C 22.8 4 108 93 3.85
D 21.3 6 108 96 3
E 23 4 150 90 4
F 23 6 108 110 3.9
G 23 4 160 110 3.9
H 23 6 160 110 3.9

Measures of the Centre
Mean Median Mode

If we want to find out the average
horsepower of the cars among the
population of cars, we will check and
calculate the average of all values. In this
case,
A 21 6 160 110 3.9
B 21 6 160 110 3.9
C 22.8 4 108 93 3.85
D 21.3 6 108 96 3
E 23 4 150 90 4
F 23 6 108 110 3.9
G 23 4 160 110 3.9
H 23 6 160 110 3.9
110 + 110 + 93 + 96 + 90 + 110 + 110 + 110

= 103.625

Mean Median Mode
Measure of average of all the values in a sample is called Mean.

If we want to find out the centre value of
mpg among the population of cars, we will
arrange the mpg values in ascending order
to choose the middle value. In this case,
21,21,21.3,22.8,23,23,23,23
But in case of even entries, we take
average of the two middle values. In this
case,
22.8+23

= 22.9
A 21 6 160 110 3.9
B 21 6 160 110 3.9
C 22.8 4 108 93 3.85
D 21.3 6 108 96 3
E 23 4 150 90 4
F 23 6 108 110 3.9
G 23 4 160 110 3.9
H 23 6 160 110 3.9

Mean Median Mode
Measure of the central value of the sample set is called Median.

If we want to find out the most common
type of cylinder among the population of
cars, we will check the value which is
repeated most number of times.

Measures of the Spread
Range Standard DeviationInter Quartile Range Variance

Measures of Spread
Range is the given measure of how spread apart the values in a dataset are.
Range = Max(𝑥𝑖) - Min(𝑥𝑖)

Measures of Spread
Inter Quartile Range(IQR) is the measure of variability, based on dividing a dataset into
quartiles.

Measures of Spread
Variance describes how much a random variable differs from its expected value.
It entails computing squares of deviations.

Measures of Spread
❖ Deviation is the difference between each element from the mean.
Deviation = (𝑥𝑖-µ)

Measures of Spread
❖ Population Variance is the average of squared deviations.

Standard Deviation– Use Case
Ross has 20 Dinosaur figures. They have the numbers 9, 2, 5, 4, 12, 7, 8, 11, 9, 3, 7, 4, 12, 5, 4,
10, 9, 6, 9, 4. Work out the Standard Deviation.
Find out the
mean for your
sample set.
STEP 1 The Mean is:
9+2+5+4+12+7+8+11+9+3+7+4+12+5+4+10+9+6+9+4

⸫µ=7

Then for each
number, subtract
the Mean and
square the result.
STEP 2
(𝑥𝑖−𝜇)²
(9-7)²= 2²=4
(2-7)²= (-5)²=25
(5-7)²= (-2)²=4
And so on…
⸫ We get the following results:
4, 25, 4, 9, 25, 0, 1, 16, 4, 16, 0, 9, 25, 4, 9, 9, 4, 1, 4, 9

Then work out the
mean of those
squared
differences.

Inferential Statistics – Hypothesis Testing

Hypothesis Testing
Statisticians use hypothesis testing to formally check whether the hypothesis is accepted or
rejected.
Hypothesis testing is conducted in the following manner:
❖ State the Hypotheses – This stage involves stating the null and alternative hypotheses.
❖ Formulate an Analysis Plan – This stage involves the construction of an analysis plan.
❖ Analyse Sample Data – This stage involves the calculation and interpretation of the test
statistic as described in the analysis plan.
❖ Interpret Results – This stage involves the application of the decision rule described in the
analysis plan.

Hypothesis Testing

Assume the event is free of bias.
So, what is the probability of John not cheating?

Null Hypothesis (𝑯 𝟎) : Result is no different from assumption.
Alternate Hypothesis (𝑯 𝒂) : Result disproves the assumption.
Probability of Event < 𝟎. 𝟎𝟓 (5%)
