Statistics in Business 2
The science of statistics is simply a way for us to gather information and turn it into
understandable data in the form of charts and graphs for easier mental digestion. This Week 1
paper will discuss the different types and levels of statistics, the role of statistics in business
decision making as well as provide examples of situations where statistics was used to help come
to a business decision.
Descriptive Statistics
Descriptive statistics presents findings it in a way more easily understood by the reader.
Through this extrapolation of data, patterns might emerge that surprise both the reader and the
person collecting the data. (Understanding Descriptive and Inferential Statistics, N.D.)
Descriptive statistics measures central tendency through derivation of data from mode, median
and mean. Its measurements of spread summarizes data utilizing the mean through range,
quarterlies, absolute deviation, variance and standard deviation. (Understanding Descriptive
and Inferential Statistics, N.D.)
In the world of Wall Street, statistics are utilized daily to determine the spreads of stock
valuation through a designated time period and to speculate on its trend in the future.
Inferrential Statistics
Inferrential statistics is more of a percentage based utilizing data sampling from a
controlled group. Its methods include estimation of parameters and testing of statistical
hypotheses (Understanding Descriptive and Inferential Statistics, N.D.)
Commonly seen in schools who report testing scores based on grade levels and districts,
it extracts data based on a controlled sampling of data available for reporting (i.e. grade level,
test scores, gender, age).
Statistics in Business 3
Conclusion
While the word statistics and the ability to draw its conclusions strike fear in students
everywhere, we actually use it every day. From www.cars.com and KBB.com utilizing statistics
to figure out the average blue book price of a vehicle based on specific criteria to a clothing
designer using statistics to determine the must have colors for their fall collection, statistics is a
necessary part of business as it utilizes raw data to help form a hypothesis for the future.
