    Statistics is the science pertaining to the collection and analysis of data. It is the refinement of the ambiguous, the distilling of truth from the crudest of resources. For this reason, it is necessary to discern the simplest path from Point A to Point B, disregarding any unnecessary data that may lie in the path. This, however, is easier in theory than in practice, and statisticians have developed various techniques to help differentiate between causation, a variable directly related to phenomena, and association, a variable who 's changes occur concurrently with the phenomena, and could be causal or non-causal.…

    For this practical application assignment, make believe that you are a real estate agent living and working in southern Florida. The senior real estate partner of your firm e-mails you a document containing Florida pool home data, which you've retrieved from the Updates and Handouts section of this unit, and asks you to find ways describe the most important aspects of the home sale data. This technique is called descriptive statistics. The file contains data for 80 properties, including home prices, home sizes, number of bathrooms, niceness ratings, and whether or not there's a pool. This file is used as an example on pages 142–143 of Business Statistics in Practice. Be sure that you have read Appendix 2.1, on pages 80–87, in your textbook, which provides instruction on how to construct a frequency distribution, histogram, and scatter plot in Excel. Compute the following data parameters:…

    The author was trying to say that men who consume an enormous amount of alcohol every day and who is stable socially do not have a different personality, than those men who are socially stable and do not drink alcohol. In this article the hypothesis is that individual males who consume a great deal of alcohol do not have an addictive personality. This article also tells us that there has been little progress in identifying males who accessibly abuse alcohol, and have a personality problem. Clinical research found that excessive alcohol…

    Five Major Variables

    The five major variables of project management are essential in pretty much every project. Time which would is the amount of time required to complete the project. Typically it is broken down into the time required to complete the components of the project. This is then broken down into the time required to complete each task contributing to the completion of the project. Then there is cost which will typically be determined by the consultant or contractors hourly rate multiplied by an estimated time to complete the project on time or if it is late, both of the factors affect your quality. The amount of time put into individual tasks determines the overall quality of the project. Some tasks may require a given amount of time to complete, but if more time is given the project can be completed exceptionally. Over the course of a large project, quality can have a major impact on time and cost. The scope of the project, or the overall objective of what the project is supposed to accomplish, and a specific description of what the end result should be or accomplish. This will allow you to determine your risk, or potential points of failure. Most risks or potential failures can be overcome or resolved, given enough time and resources. The considerations that must be applied when selecting projects that deliver the best business value, are made by the systems analysis which includes an assessment of the economic…

    Statistics is a way of gathering, analyzing, interpreting and presenting data so that it becomes more meaningful. It helps convert raw data into useful information. Statistics is therefore a collection of information. Statistics can be presented in graphical form to make it more appealing and easily understandable by the users. Statistics can be descriptive or inferential. Descriptive statistics have to do with methods in a data set that utilizes numerical and graphical to look for patterns to summarize the information revealed in a data set, and to present the information in a convenient form.…

    Understanding and interpreting data can be difficult if one does not possess the necessary skills to do so. The knowledge of how and why statistics are used is a very important first step to gaining these skills. The following few paragraphs will offer an explanation of the functions of statistics, which will describe how different types of statistics are used to make sense of data that can sometimes be confusing. Both descriptive and inferential statistics serve the same basic functions. The main functions of statistics are to organize and interpret data and to allow one to form hypotheses (Weinclaw, 2008). Statistics help to make sense of data by allowing one to organize and manipulate the data to come to a conclusion. This allows people to gain a better, although not perfect, understanding of phenomena occurring in the real world. Instead of yielding exact results statistics provide probabilities, which allow one to make generalizations about a whole population based on data gathered through surveys or samples of a population. Thus statistics are used to suggest a degree of…

    Obsevations (i.e., dependent variables) that occur in one of two possible states, often labelled zero and one. E.g., “improved/not improved” and “completed task/failed to complete task.” Usually an independent or predictor variable that contains values indicating membership in one of several possible categories. E.g., gender (male or female), marital status (married, single, divorced, widowed). The categories are often assigned numerical values used as lables, e.g., 0 = male; 1 = female. Synonym for nominal variable. A variable that obscures the effects of another variable. If one elementary reading teacher used used a phonics textbook in her class and another instructor used a whole language textbook in his class, and students in the two classes were given achievement tests to see how well they read, the independent variables (teacher effectiveness and textbooks) would be confounded. There is no way to determine if differences in reading between the two classes were caused by either or both of the independent variables. A variable that is not restricted to particular values (other than limited by the accuracy of the measuring instrument). E.g., reaction time, neuroticism, IQ. Equal size intervals on different parts of the scale are assumed, if not demonstrated. Synonym for interval variable. An extraneous variable that an investigator does not wish to examine in a study. Thus the investigator controls this variable. Also called a covariate. The presumed effect in a nonexperimental study. The presumed effect in an experimental study. The values of the dependent variable depend upon another variable, the independent variable. Strictly speaking, “dependent variable” should not be used when writing about nonexperimental designs. Synonym for binary variable Variable having only integer values. For example, number of trials need by a student to learn a memorization task.…

    Descriptive statistics is the discipline of quantitatively describing the main features of a collection of data.[1] Descriptive statistics are distinguished from inferential statistics (or inductive statistics), in that descriptive statistics aim to summarize a sample, rather than use the data to learn about the population that the sample of data is thought to represent. This generally means that descriptive statistics, unlike inferential statistics, are not developed on the basis of probability theory.[2] Even when a data analysis draws its main conclusions using inferential statistics, descriptive statistics are generally also presented. For example in a paper reporting on a study involving human subjects, there typically appears a table giving the overall sample size, sample sizes in important subgroups (e.g., for each treatment or exposure group), and demographic or clinical characteristics such as the average age, the proportion of subjects of each sex, and the proportion of subjects with related comorbidities.…
