Whe the egieer wet i, he was asked: Q: "What is two plus two?" A: "Four." Whe the physicist wet i, he was asked the same questio: Q: "What is two plus two?" A: "Four." The statisticia wet i et. Whe the questio was posed to him, he looked aroud secretively, shut the door ad drew the blids closed. His respose: "What do you wat it to be?" What is Statistics? There is a widespread mistrust of statistics i the world today. Everyoe kows about lyig with statistics, while good statistical aalysis is early impossible to fid i daily life. What is Statistics?

2 What is Statistics? Statistics is the art of ever havig to say you're wrog. Statistics meas ever havig to say you're certai. 97.3% of all statistics are made up. 4.3% of all statistics are worthless. What is Statistics? We muddle through life makig choices based o icomplete iformatio 7 8 What is Statistics? What is Statistics? Most of us live comfortably with some level of ucertaity What makes statistics uique is its ability to quatify ucertaity, to make it precise. This allows statisticias to make categorical statemets, with complete assurace about their level of ucertaiy 9 So what is statistics? What Net? Statistics is a brach of mathematics dealig with the aalysis ad iterpretatio of masses of data.
3 Basic Defiitios A populatio is the group of all items of iterest (everythig you wish to study) to a statistics practitioer A sample is a subset of the populatio, ofte radomly chose ad preferably represetative of the populatio as a whole. A variable is a attribute, or measuremet, o members of a populatio. A observatio is a list of all variable values for a sigle member of a populatio (data) Basic Defiitios A variable is umerical if meaigful arithmetic ca be performed o it. Otherwise, the variable is categorical. A umerical variable is discrete if its possible values ca be couted. A cotiuous variable is the result of a essetially cotiuous measuremet. A categorical variable is ordial if there is a atural orderig of its possible values. If there is o atural orderig, it is omial. Cross-sectioal data are data o a populatio at a distict poit i time. Time series data are collected across time. 3 4 Eamples Number of LCD TVs shipped from various warehouses: Marital status: sigle, married, married, married, divorced, widowed, sigle Quality ratigs of products: poor, fair, good, fair, very good, ecellet, good, poor, good Iterest rates at Turkish baks:.7% 4.8% 3.% 6.3%... Describig Data Eample: Aual salary figures ad related data for 5 employees of Beta Techologies Ic. o geder o age o umber of years of relevat work eperiece prior to employemet at Beta o umber of years of professioal eperiece at Beta Techologies o umber of years of post-secodary educatio o aual salary 5 6 Describig Data Frequecy Tables ad Histograms A frequecy table is a table cotaiig each category or value that a variable might have ad the umber of times that each oe occurs i the data. A histogram is a bar chart of these frequecies
4 Frequecy Tables ad Histograms Prior Ep. Freq Frequecy Tables ad Histograms Prior Ep. Freq Aalyzig the Histogram I statistics, the features of iterest for a set of umerical data ca be classified as: ceter describes where, umerically, the data are cetered or cocetrated shape describes how the data are spread out aroud the ceter with respect to the symmetry or skewess of the data variability describes how the data are spread out aroud the ceter with respect to the smoothess ad magitude of the variatio Aalyzig the Histogram A histogram is said to be symmetric if, whe we draw a vertical lie dow the ceter of the histogram (the peak), the two sides are idetical i shape ad size. Aalyzig the Histogram A skewed histogram is oe with a log tail etedig to either right or left. Right skewed if tail eteds to the right (positive skewess) Left skewed if tail eteds to the left (egative skewess) Aalyzig the Histogram Mode is the observatio with the greatest frequecy. A uimodal histogram is oe with a sigle peak. A bimodal histogram is oe with two peaks, ot ecessarily equal i height
5 Aalyzig the Histogram Whe data are ot very variable, the frequecy of observatios decreases steadily as you move away from the ceter. Describig the Relatioship Betwee Two Variables Suppose we are iterested i the relatioship betwee the umber of years of professioal eperiece at Beta Techologies ad the aual salary of a employee. The graphical techique used to describe the relatioship betwee two variables is the scatter plot. 5 6 Aalyzig Scatter Plots No relatioship betwee the two variables Aalyzig Scatter Plots Liear relatioship betwee the two variables positive egative 7 8 Aalyzig Scatter Plots No-liear relatioship betwee the two variables Time Series Plots A scatter plot with the time series variable o the vertical ais ad time itself o the horizotal ais. Useful for forecastig future values of a time series. observe tred ad seasoal patters Warig: Just because there is a relatioship betwee two variables, it does ot mea that there is a cause-ad-effect relatioship betwee the two variable time series plot time variable times series plot year 9 3 5
6 Art ad Sciece of Graphical Presetatios Eamples Graphical ecellece: ) is well-desiged presetatios of iterestig data a matter of substace, of statistics ad of desig ) gives the viewer the greatest umber of ideas i the shortest time with the least ik i the smallest space 3) is early always multivariate 4) requires tellig the truth about the data If growth is predicted i fish ad seafood products, why are all the lies poitig dowward? 3 3 Eamples Eamples Eamples Eamples
7 Eamples 37 "Should we scare the oppositio by aoucig our mea height or lull them by aoucig our media height?" Sample Statistic or Populatio Parameter A parameter is a descriptive measuremet about a populatio. A statistic is a desciptive measuremet about a sample. We use statistics from a sample to make ifereces about the populatio parameters. Parameters are usually represeted by Greek letters ad statistics by Roma letter. Numerical Measures Cetral Tedecy Spread mea, media ad mode rage, variace ad stadard deviatio Associatio covariace ad correlatio Numerical measures allow the statistics practitioer to be more precise i describig characteristics of data Measures of Cetral Tedecy The mea is the arithmetic average of all values of a variable. sum of all the values Mea = umber of observatios (the mea of 3, 7, 4, 9, 7 is ( )/5 = 6) Measures of Cetral Tedecy Ecel formula: AVERAGE(data) Algebraic formula: sample mea X populatio mea μ 4 X = i= X i μ= N i= N X i 4 7
8 Measures of Cetral Tedecy The media is the middle observatio whe the data are listed from smallest to largest. If there are a eve umber of observatios the the media is the average of the two middle values 4, 9, 7,, 6, 5, 5, 9 sort 4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 9, 9, 6.5 Ecel formula: MEDIAN(data) Measures of Cetral Tedecy Mode is the most frequetly occurig value. If the variables are cotiuous, mode is irrelevat. Eample: Iterarrival times of customers to a bak 6 Ecel formula: 4 MODE(data) frequecy <= >7.5 iterarrival time (miutes) Mea, Media, Mode: Which is Best? The mea is geerally the first selectio. However, there are several circumstaces whe the media is better. Mea, Media, Mode: Which is Best? Whe there is a relatively small umber of outliers, the media usually produces a better measure of ceter outlier Average = 9.8 Media = 8.5 Average = 5.58 Media = Mea, Media, Mode: Which is Best? Comparig the Mea ad the Media For most sets of data, the mea ad the media will be very close to each other i value. 47 mea media 48 8
9 Comparig the Mea ad the Media Whe data are more spread out i oe directio (data are skewed), the mea is pulled toward these values. Measures of Cetral Tedecy What happes if you add a costat to your data 3, 7, 4, 9, 7 Average = 6 (3+5), (7+5), (4+5), (9+5), (7+5) Average =? media mea mea media multiply your data with a costat 3, 7, 4, 9, 7 Average = 6 (3), (7), (4), (9), (7) Average =? 49 5 Measures of Cetral Tedecy k th percetile = k% of data are at or below this value e.g. th percetile of a data set is the umber below which there eists % of the data 5 k% Ecel formula: PERCENTILE(data,k) 5th percetile = st quartile 75th percetile = 3rd quartile Measures of Spread We eed to kow how spread out or dispersed the data values are relative to typical values. Uderstadig the variatio i a set of data is of critical importace to statistics. Miimum i smallest value i the data set Ecel formula: MIN(data) Maimum largest value i the data set Ecel formula: MAX(data) Rage differece betwee the maimum ad the miimum >3 5 5 Measures of Spread Cosider the data set: 3, 7, 4, 9, 7 Let s try to determie the average deviatio of the data from the mea. Measures of Spread Variace is the average of the squared deviatios of the data values from the mea. 3, 7, 4, 9, 7 Average = 6 (3-6),(7-6), (4-6),(9-6),(7-6) Average = 4.8 Sample variace s Populatio variace (3-6), (7-6), (4-6), (9-6), (7-6) Average =?
10 Measures of Spread = N i= (X μ) i N Ecel formula: VARP(data) for VAR(data) for s s = i= (X X) i Variace icreases as there is more variability aroud the mea. Large deviatios from the mea cotribute heavily (puished) to the variace because they are squared. Measures of Spread What happes if you add a costat to your data 3, 7, 4, 9, 7 Variace = 4.8 (3+5), (7+5), (4+5), (9+5), (7+5) Variace =? multiply your data with a costat 3, 7, 4, 9, 7 Variace = 4.8 (3), (7), (4), (9), (7) Variace =? Measures of Spread Stadard deviatio is the square root of variace. Stadard deviatio has the same uit as the data. populatio stadard deviatio = sample stadard deviatio s= s Ecel formula: STDEVP(data) for populatio STDEV(data) for sample Measures of Spread Stadard deviatio is ot as ituitive or appealig as the rage (immediate picture although sometimes false of how far the data spread out aroud the ceter) Empirical Rule: (if the histogram is bell-shaped) ) about 68% of all observatios are withi oe stadard deviatio of the mea ) about 95% of all observatios are withi two stadard deviatios of the mea 3) about 99.7% of all observatios are withi three stadard deviatios of the mea Moder portfolio theory returs of a diversified asset portfolio Operatios maagemet process variatios HR maagemet employee performace bell-shaped distributios Measures of Spread Measures of Spread If a sample of employees were grouped accordig to their heights, we might see a arragemet like this. Drawig a smooth lie aroud the group of employees produces a bell-shaped curve, which shows that most people have heights gathered aroud 67.5 iches. 59 6
11 y Measures of Spread Measures of Spread Chebysheff s Rule The proportio of observatios i ay sample that lie withi k stadard deviatios of the mea is at least for k > k Eample: k= 75% k=3 88.9% 6 6 Measures of Spread Cosider the followig eample i which mothly reveue ad profit data have bee collected for the last 5 years. stadard deviatio of mothly reveues = $, stadard deviatio of mothly profits = $5, mea of mothly reveues = $4, mea of mothly profits = $, Do you thik the compay recorded a loss i ay moth? What is the likelihood? Measures of Associatio Scatter plot describes the relatioship betwee two variables graphically Covariace ad correlatio summarize the stregth of the liear relatioship betwee the two variables umerically The two variabes, say X ad Y, must have the same umber of observatios (paired variables) Measures of Associatio Measures of Associatio Covariace (Xi X)(Yi Y) i= Cov(X,Y) = Correlatio Cov(X,Y) Corr(X,Y) = ss X Y Ecel: COVAR(data,data) data) Ecel: CORREL(data,data) The advatage that the correlatio has over covariace is that the correlatio is always betwee - ad +. Corr(X,Y) = - egative liear relatioship Corr(X,Y) = + positive liear relatioship Corr(X,Y) = o liear relatioship All other values of correlatio are judged i relatio to these three values
12 Measures of Associatio Measures of Associatio Covar(X,Y) =.88 Corr(X,Y) =.9 Covar(X,Y) = Corr(X,Y) = -.8 Covar(X,Y) = Corr(X,Y) =. Covar(X,Y) = -.58 Corr(X,Y) = Measures of Associatio Remember: Correlatio does ot imply causatio! 69 radom var riables Probability Essetials Cosider the followig variables: Time betwee arrivals of customers to a bak Number of defective items i a productio batch Retur from a stock Customer demad for a ew product Chages i iterest rates Probability Essetials Radom variable associates a umerical value with each possible outcome of a radom pheomeo (eperimet).

We would like to kow the likelihood of oe evet give the occurece of aother related evet. Marketig a product: Evet A: a perso chose at radom buys the product Evet B: a perso i the sample space has see a advirtisemet for the product If a perso has see the advirtisemet, what is the probability that s/he will buy the product? 8 8 Probability Essetials New iformatio chages the probability of a evet.

Probability Essetials If A ad B are two idepedet evets the P(A B) = P(A) ad P(B A) = P(B) It follows that the joit probability b of two idepedet evets is simply the product of the probabilities of the two evets. P(A ad B) = P(A B).P(B) = P(A).P(B) Statisticia Wo't Fly I A Plae A famous statisticia would ever travel by airplae, because he had studied air travel ad estimated the probability of there beig a bomb o ay give flight was i a millio, ad he was ot prepared to accept these odds. Oe day a colleague met him at a coferece far from home. "How did you get here, by trai?" "No, I flew" "What about the possibility of a bomb?" Well, I bega thikig that if the odds of oe bomb are :millio, the the odds of TWO bombs are (/,,) (/,,). This is a very, very small probability, which I ca accept. So, ow I brig my ow bomb alog!"

Sice there is a ifiite umber of values, the probability of each idividual value is virtually. Istead of assigig probabilities to each idividual value, we spread the total probability of over the cotiiuum (imagie a histogram with a large umber of small itervals). A probability desity fuctio, usually deoted by f(), specifies the probability distributio of a cotiuous variable. If the rage of is betwee a ad b the, o the total area uder the curve betwee a ad b is o f() for all betwee a ad b o the higher f() is, the more likely is. 99 Cotiuous Distributios Cotiuous Distributios f() probability desity fuctio (pdf) f() probability desity fuctio (pdf) a b a b Area = P(a b) = 7

Samplig ad Estimatio Parameters describe populatios. Parameters are almost always ukow. We take a radom sample of a populatio to obtai the ecessary data. We calculate oe or more statistics from the data. A iferece is a statemet about a parameter of a populatio. Iferetial statistics cocer geeralizig from a sample to a populatio. A critical part of iferetial statistics ivolves determiig how far sample statistics are likely to vary from each other ad from the populatio parameter. 4 Key Terms i Samplig Poit estimate is a sigle umeric value, a best guess of a populatio parameter, based o the data i a sample. The estimatio error is the differece betwee the poit estimate ad the true value of the populatio parameter beig estimated. A iterval estimate (or cofidece iterval) is a iterval aroud the poit estimate, where we strogly believe the true value of the populatio parameter lies. Key Terms i Samplig The samplig distributio of ay poit estimate is the distributio of the poit estimates we would see from all possible samples (of a give sample size) from the populatio. The stadard error of a estimate is the stadard deviatio of the samplig distributio of the estimate. 5 6
