10 Types of data Quantitative numerical data such as time, age, height Qualitative non numerical such as opinions, favourite subjects, gender Numerical data can either be discrete or continuous. Discrete data jumps from one measurement to the next. The measurements in between have no meaning, such as shoe size, number of goals scored at a football match. Continuous data does not jump from one measurement to the next, but passes smoothly through all the measurements in between such as, time, height. Data that is collected by or for the person who is going to use it is called primary data. Data that is not collected by or for the person who is going to use it is called secondary data. 10
11 Sampling When organisations require data they either use data collected by somebody else (secondary data), or collect it themselves (primary data). This is usually done by SAMPLING that is collecting data from a representative SAMPLE of the population they are interested in. A POPULATION need not be human. In statistics we define a population as the collection of ALL the items about which we want to know some characteristics. Examples of populations are hospital patients, road accidents, pet owners, unoccupied property or bridges. It is usually far too expensive and too time consuming to collect information from every member of the population (known as taking a census), exceptions being the General Election and The Census, so instead we collect it from a sample. If it is to be of any use the sample must represent the whole of the population we are interested in, and not be biased in any way. This is where the skill in sampling lies: in choosing a sample that will be as representative as possible. The basis for selecting any sample is the list of all the subjects from which the sample is to be chosen - this is the SAMPLING FRAME. Examples are the Postcode Address File, the Electoral register, telephone directories, membership lists, lists created by credit rating agencies and others, and maps. A problem, of course, is that the list may not be up to date. In some cases a list may not even exist. Simple random sampling Systematic sampling Cluster sampling A simple random sample gives each member of the population an equal chance of being chosen. This can be achieved using random number tables. This is random sampling with a system! From the sampling frame, a starting point is chosen at random, and thereafter at regular intervals. For example, suppose you want to sample 8 houses from a street of 120 houses. 120/8=15, so every 15th house is chosen after a random starting point between 1 and 15. If the random starting point is 11, then the houses selected are 11, 26, 41, 56, 71, 86, 101, and 116. In cluster sampling the units sampled are chosen in clusters, close to each other. Examples are households in the same street, or successive items off a production line. The population is divided into clusters, and some of these are then chosen at random. Within each cluster units are then chosen by simple random sampling or some other method. Ideally the clusters chosen should be dissimilar so that the sample is as representative of the population as possible Quota sampling In quota sampling the selection of the sample is made by the interviewer, who has been given quotas to fill from specified subgroups of the population. For example, an interviewer may be told to sample 50 females between the age of 45 and

14 Stratified Sampling A Stratified Sample will give a sample proportional to the size of the "no. in stratum" strata. We use the formula, sample size "total no. in population". 14
15 Scatter graphs A typical GCSE Statistics question on scatter graphs will have the following structure; Plot some missing points on a scatter graph Describe relationship between variables Draw a line of best fit (through x, y ) Use the line of best fit to estimate one variable if given the other. If inside the data range this is known as interpolation and if outside the data range, this is known as extrapolation and may not be suitable (as trends may not continue) Find the equation of the line of best fit in the form y = ax + b State what a and b represent in context of the question Finding x, y a and b All x, y is the average x value and the average y value, so add all the x values together and divide by how many you have and do the same for y. To find a, the gradient of the line, pick two points that lie on your LOBF call them, x, y then find the difference between the y s over the difference x y and between the x s i.e. y x y x To find b, look at the y value where your LOBF crosses the y axis 15

18 When a linear model (straight line of best fit) is not appropriate, another model may be suitable. Suitable models could be; 18
19 Averages & standard deviation from a table You must be able to find the mean, median, modal class interval, range and standard deviation from a frequency distribution & a grouped frequency distribution. n 1 The median occurs at the position for a set of n numbers. 2 The modal class interval is the interval with the largest frequency. The range is the largest value in the distribution minus the smallest. How to find the mean and standard deviation using the calculator for a list of numbers. Press mode Select option 2 : STAT Select option 1 : 1-VAR Enter your data in the X column Press SHIFT then 1 and then 5 : VAR Option 2 will give you the mean x and option 3 will give you the standard deviation x n You can verify this method for finding the mean and standard deviation using the exam on the following page. 19
20 20
21 How to find the mean and standard deviation using the calculator for a frequency distribution You must first switch the FREQ mode on in your calculator. To do this, go to Press SHIFT, then Setup Press the down arrow Select option 3 : STAT Select option 1 : ON You can now follow the same steps as you did for finding the mean and standard deviation of a list of numbers, the only difference being, you can now also enter the frequency. 21
22 22
23 How to find the mean and standard deviation using the calculator for a grouped frequency distribution Check Make sure the FREQ is switched on in your calculator (See page 14). When you are faced with this screen, you must enter the midpoints of the intervals in place of X, you must also write these down on the exam paper to gain full marks. 23
24 Interquartile range & Outliers & Boxplots The IQR is calculated as follows : IQR = UQ LQ. 3 The UQ is found ¾ of the way through the data i.e. at position 1 4 n. 1 The LQ is found ¼ of the way through the data i.e. at position 1 4 n. To find an outlier we work out 1.5 times the IQR and subtract/add to the LQ/UQ respectively. If an item is outside this range, it is considered an outlier. This data can also be shown on a box plot. 24
25 25
26 Cumulative frequency curves Cumulative frequency is a running total. It is calculated by adding up the frequencies up to that point. Note that the first point that is plotted is the lower boundary of the first class interval which has a cumulative frequency of 0. Notice also the characteristic S-shape of the cumulative frequency curve. Draw lines up to the c.f curve where necessary. 26
27 27
28 Histograms With a histogram, it is the area of the bar that represents the frequency. Along the y axis, frequency density is plotted. The formula can be found in the box below. Frequency Frequency Density= Class Width You may need to rearrange this formula to get Frequency as the subject. Frequency = Frequency Density Class Width Usually an examination question will have part of the table filled in and part of the histogram drawn. If you look at the information for a bar that is shown on the histogram and where the frequency is given in the table, you can work out the frequency density and hence the scale on the y axis. In the question shown on the following page, the interval 10 h 15 had the frequency given in the table as well as the bar drawn so the frequency density was worked out. The scale was then easy to figure out and the rest straight forward to complete. 28
29 29
30 Finding the median from a histogram (interpolation) Consider this example. Previously (in Unit 1) you were asked to find the class interval the median lies in. n 1 The total frequency in this case is 200. Using 2, we find the median occurs at position If we work out the cumulative frequencies, we find that by the end of the interval 5 t 6, our running total is 94 so must be in the next interval which is 6 t 8. If we were drawing a cumulative frequency curve, the points we would plot for these two intervals would be 6,94 and 8,154. We want to find the time (t) when the cumulative value is
31 Consider this, Time (t) Cumulative frequency How far through the interval So to review, occurs 6.5 of the way through the interval. 60 We need to find what value of t is 6.5 of the way through the time interval, 60 i.e. 6.5 of the way between 6 and , add this to 6 to find our value of t, i.e. about 6.2 Verify the median area for this question is 64.1 (3s.f) 31
32 Time series You will be required in a GCSE Statistics exam to; Calculate an n-point moving average Plot the moving averages on a time series graph Draw a trend line (possibly find equation of it) Describe the trend Calculate the mean seasonal variation for a particular quarter Use the mean season variation and your trend line to calculate an estimate for that quarter in the following year A trend line should go through as many of the moving averages as possible and only go within the data range (You may have to extend it in a later part of the question). Trend should be described as; increasing, decreasing, fluctuating or no real trend. Once you have calculated the mean seasonal variation for a given quarter, you can use it to predict the sales for that quarter in the next year. Your trend line will give an estimate of what the sales should be and then you just add the mean seasonal variation and you have your answer. 32

35 Index numbers What are Index Numbers? An index number is a statistical measure designed to follow or track changes over a period of time in the price, quantity or value of an item or group of items. Types of Index Numbers 1. PRICE RELATIVE The Price Relative is the ratio of the price of a commodity at a given time to its price at a different time - either before or after the given time. E.g. In January 1980 the price of a bar of soap was 40p., whilst in January 1985 its price was 60p. If we take January 1980 as the base year, the index for January 1985 is calculated as follows; quantity Index number = 100 quantity in base year 60 Index number = 100 = The percentage sign is usually omitted, and we say that the index is 150 based on January 1980 which is 100. This indicates that the price of the soap has increased by 50% over the five year period. If January 1985 was taken as the base period, then the price relative index is now:- 40 Index number = 100 = i.e. the index is 66.6 % based on January 1985 (which is 100). This indicates that the price of soap in January 1980 was 66.6 % of the price in January 1985, or alternatively, the price of soap was 33.3 % less in January If information for a series of years is given, then any year can be used as the base period but it is usually specified in the examination paper. 35
36 36
37 37
38 2. CHAIN BASE INDEX This where index numbers are calculated by using the preceding year's index as the base for calculating the present year's index. e.g. The prices of a commodity in the years are given below:- Year Price (pence per kg) For each year the index number can be calculated - using 1994 = 100 Year Calculation Index Number x x x x x
39 3. WEIGHTED INDEX NUMBER If you have a product which is made of different materials, each differing in proportion, then we can calculate an accurate index number for the product based on the weightings of the materials. We can use the formula, Weighted Index Number = E.G. weighting index. weighting Index in 2008 Index in 2009 Product A 71% Product B 29% Find the weighted index number in
40 40
41 Spearman s Rank correlation coefficient This is used when a comparison needs to be made between two sets of data to see if there is any connection or relationship between the data. e.g. You may wish to see if two different groups of people - boys/girls, Year 7/Year 11, children/adults - have the same preferences or likes/dislikes, or whether they are completely different, or even if there is no connection between the two groups or not. e.g. You may wish to see if two people judging at an event award marks consistently or not, or whether people mark work consistently or not. Each set of data is ranked in order, giving the largest value rank 1 then the next largest rank 2 and so on. e.g. Two competitors rank the eight photographs in a competition as follows:- Photograph Rank (Judge A) Rank (Judge B) Difference d (A - B) Difference 2 d 2 A (-2) 2 = 4 B (2) 2 = 4 C (1) 2 = 1 D (0) 2 = 0 E (0) 2 = 0 F (-4) 2 = 16 G (2) 2 = 4 H (1) 2 = 1 d 2 = 30 To work out the correlation between the two judges, the following formula is used: 2 6 d SRCC = 1. nn-1 2 In this example, n is the number of photographs, which equals 8 SRCC = = 0.64 ( 2 d.p.) Interpretation The coefficient will lie between ± 1. The closer the value is to 1, then the stronger the positive correlation. The closer the value is to -1 then the stronger the negative correlation. If the value is around 0, then there is no correlation. A rough guide can be found on the following page. 41

45 Misleading graphs Always check the scales to see if the graph is misleading. For pie charts, a 3D effect distorts segment size as well as shading. 45
46 46
47 Reading and interpreting from a table of Statistics Be careful when reading from a table, make sure you look at the right column and use a ruler to make sure you are reading the right line. If the total percentages don t add up to 100%, this is due to rounding errors. 47
48 48
49 Questionnaires Designing a questionnaire The question you ask must have a timeframe specified, for instance, How many hours of T.V. do you watch per week? The response boxes you provide for the question must cater for every single person. Some of these boxes may be appropriate. 0 More than Other Don t Know 49
50 Open questions Have no suggested answers and gives people chance to reply as they wish Advantage Allows for a range of answers Disadvantage Range of response too broad- hard to analyse Closed questions Gives a set of answers for the person to choose from Advantage Restricts response making it easy to analyse responses Disadvantage Will not necessarily cover all responses 50
51 Pilot survey (pre-test) A preliminary test to see if there is a line of enquiry to investigate further. It is a small scale replica of the survey / study. It can identify any problems with the wording of questions, likely responses etc. Reasons to do a pilot study Show if questions are understandable / clear Indicates likely answers Gives an indication of how long it takes to complete Find errors Give feedback so alterations can perhaps be made 51
52 Leading questions Avoid questions that infer an opinion such as Smoking is bad for you. Do you agree? Interviews One on one conversation which allows any ambiguities the interviewee may have with the questions to be rectified. Advantage All questions are answered Disadvantage Time consuming and expensive 52
53 Odds Odds are another way of expressing probability. Odds are given as a ratio between the estimated number of failures and the estimated number of successful outcomes. The ratio, failures : successes is the odds against an event happening. The ratio, successes : failures is the odds for/on an event happening. Odds may be changed into probabilities. There are 2 chances of failure to every 1 of success, hence for every (2+1) = 3 attempts there will be 1 success 53
54 Venn diagrams A Venn diagram may be used to calculate probabilities. Each region of a Venn diagram represents a different set of data. Goes outside the set for Radio and outside the set for Television 54
55 55
56 Simulation It may not be possible to carry out an experiment in order to estimate the probability of an event happening. This may be because it is too complex or just undesirable. In such cases you can imitate or simulate the problem. Simulation is quick and cheap, easily altered and repeatable. There are several ways of introducing randomness to a simulation. You could use; coins, dice or random numbers (from your calculator or published tables). Usually you have 100 numbers available to you; inclusive. If the probability of an event happening is ½, then you can use half of the numbers to simulate it, i.e If the probability of an event happening was hundred numbers, i.e then you could use a tenth of the # To improve the results of a simulation, just do more simulations. 56
57 Random number tables can also be used to aid simulations. Ignore all numbers >79 Random numbers can also be generated on your calculator or you could put numbers in a bag and select. Type 100 then SHIFT RAN# (above the decimal point). 57
58 Experimental probability When estimating the number of times an event might occur, multiply the number of trials by the probability of it occurring. Estimate for no. of times an event may occur = no. of trials probability of it occuring 58
59 Probability tree diagrams Recall for probability tree diagrams; a branch MUST add to 1, when moving along branches you multiply but add when selecting the outcomes in the final column that relevant to a given event. A tip for the exam, do NOT simplify your fractions. The calculator may do this for you so work out the fractions manually; there is then less chance of you making a mistake. The probability of choosing a red card is 0.4 I pick two cards. Fill in the probability tree diagram below. The various outcomes are listed on the right hand side. I can see the probability of getting a red and another red is I can work out the probability of getting different colour socks can happen in two ways, black and red or red and black, so the probability of getting different socks is = Always the case in a GCSE Statistics exam, you the second event will depend on the first. 59

63 Conditional probability Conditional probability is the probability of some event A, given the occurrence of some other event B. P A B The formula to be used is, P A B = and is said, the probability of A given B PB is equal to the probability of A AND B over the probability of B. You should always put the given that probability in the denominator. Some questions from exam papers are shown below to show how to answer a question on conditional probability. In this example, the previous part of the question asked, what is the probability Joan was late for work. The answer was In the previous part of this question from a tree diagram you could read off the probability of a person having tooth decay was ( =)
64 In the previous part of this question, it was worked out the probability of going to France was
65 Binomial distribution Consider these examples. 1. In a series of 5 Test Matches the England cricket captain only won the toss once. 2. I bought 8 pens from a shop and 1 of them did not work. 3. In a random sample of 100 people, 8 said they would vote for the Green party. 4. Over several years a woman gives birth to 6 children, of which 5 were girls. Each situation involves an unpredictable event with two possible outcomes. It is traditional to label one outcome as "success" and the other as "failure". The captain may guess correctly (success) or incorrectly; the pen may work (success) or may not work; the person may vote Green (success) or for some other party; the child may be a girl (success) or a boy. In each situation there are a given number of trials of this event. We call this number n. Thus there were n 5 matches, n 8 pens, n 100 voters and n 6 children. Each trial of the event is independent (the outcome of one doesn t affect the outcome of the other) of the others. The fact that the captain guessed wrongly in the first three matches does not make it more (or less) likely that he will guess correctly in the fourth match. Provided the pens were all the same brand, why should the fact that one works have any effect on another? The voters were selected at random and could not therefore influence each other. As several English kings discovered, having several princesses does not make it more likely that the next child will be a prince! Since the trials are independent the probability of each outcome remains constant. We call the probability of a success p and the probability of failure q. There is a 50% chance that the captain wins any toss so p 0.5 and q 0.5. There is perhaps a 1% chance that any pen does not work so p 0.99 and q Maybe 5% of people vote Green so p 0.05 and q Approximately 50% of children born are girls so p 0.5 and q 0.5. Notice that q 1 p. It is important to realise that the number of successes we get in our n trials depends on chance. The fact that 50% of children born are girls does not mean that in every 6 children 3 will be girls. It is possible to get no girls, or all girls, or indeed any number in between. Common-sense tells us that 3 girls are more likely than 5 girls, but the question is how can we calculate the probabilities of getting 0, 1, 2 6 girls in 6 births. This is where the Binomial Distribution comes in. Suppose that we have a situation where: there are n repetitions or "trials" of a random event each trial has two possible outcomes, "success" or "failure" (p and q) trials are independent (one doesn t affect the next) the probability of a "success", p, remains constant from trial to trial 65
66 What is the probability of obtaining r successes in n trials? The case n 1 When n 1 there is only one trial. There is a probability p that the trial results in success (S) and probability q 1 p that the trial results in failure (F). We can show this in two ways by a tree diagram and a table. S Probability p Successes 0 1 Total Probability q p p q 1 F q The case n=2 There are four possible results from two trials: SS, SF, FS and FF. Because the trials are independent the probabilities obey the multiplication rule: P(S first and S second) = Pr(S first) x Pr(S second) = P(S) P(S) = p p = p² S Probability 2 p Successes Total S F pq Probability q² 2pq p² p²+2pq+q² F S pq F 2 q In fact for n binomial trials, the probability for each event will be terms of the n expansion p q. At GCSE Statistics level this is all you are required to know, however beyond this a new formula will be introduced using combinations. 66
67 n In a GCSE Statistics exam, the expansion of p q for the relevant value of n in the question will be given to you. Whenever you start a binomial distribution question always write down what p and q are equal to. Remember that p is the probability of success and q is 1 p. Lets look at an example. Each term in the expansion is explained. Notice the power of p and the explanation p q p 4p q 6p q 4pq q Exactly 4 successes Exactly 3 successes Exactly 2 successes Exactly 1 success No (0) successes So if you were asked in a question to work out the probability of exactly 3 successes, 3 you would use the term 4p q (p would be given in the question and q 1 p ). If you were asked to find the probability of less than 2 successes, you would interpret 3 4 this as 1 success or 0 successes, so you would work out 4pq and q and add the results together. 67

75 Standardised scores To compare values from different data sets you usually need to set up standardised scores. For this you will need to know the mean and standard deviation. The formula to work out these scores is given as follows, score mean Standardised score = standard deviation The mean and standard deviation will be given in the examination question. The standardised score indicates how many standard deviations a score is above or below the mean. This is very useful when comparing two sets of data. 75

78 Normal distribution The normal distribution is used with data where the mean = median = mode. The normal distribution is known as a continuous probability distribution. It takes the shape of a bell and symmetrical about the mean. The width of the curve shows how spread out the data is. In the picture above, the two distributions have the same mean but the blue curve is less spread out. Properties you need to learn for the exam. Mean ± 1 standard deviation will contain 68% of the data. Mean - 1 s.d Mean Mean + 1 s.d 78
79 Mean ± 2 standard deviations will contain 95% of the data. Mean - 2 s.d Mean Mean + 2 s.d Mean ± 3 standard deviations will contain 99.8% of the data. 99.8% Mean - 3 s.d Mean Mean + 3 s.d 79

83 Choropleth graphs A choropleth map shows information as a series of graduated shadings - this can either be shades of grey or colour. They are designed to show statistical data in a series of "multi-coloured" values - moving from smallest to largest - with the lightest colours for the smaller values and, as the values get larger, the colours become darker. These maps are useful for showing the following types of information: - Average rainfall in inches over a county in a state. Average numbers of cattle per farm across a county. Population density across a constituency. There are advantages and disadvantages in these maps. Advantages They take statistical information and change it into averages that can be understood graphically. In this example, the shading changes progressively from 0% black to 100% black to reflect the amount of rainfall across a country. 0 % Up to 5 cm rainfall 20% Up to 10 cm rainfall 40% Up to 15 cm rainfall 60% Up to 20 cm rainfall 80% Up to 25 cm rainfall 100% Over 25 cm rainfall Disadvantages A person's attention can be focussed on the size of the area, rather than the data. Large areas tend to dominate a map, but they usually have the least densely populated areas. The second disadvantage lies with us - we have difficulty in distinguishing between shades of grey or colour. 83

86 Comparative Pie Charts/Diagrams These are used when two sets of data with differing totals are to be compared. Examples could include comparing the costs from one year with the preceding year, or sales in consecutive years etc. As in a normal Pie Chart, the angle of each sector is determined by the fraction of the total - where the total is represented by These different totals are represented by differently sized circles. The ratio of the radii is in proportion to the ratio of the amounts (this is equivalent to the area factor). e.g. The following agricultural statistics refer to land use, in hectares, of three parishes. Draw three pie diagrams to compare this data. Parish Barley Wheat Woodland Total Land (hectares) Appleford Burnford Carnford Let Carnford be represented by a circle of radius 4 cm. To Calculate The Radius of the Circle for Burnford The area of the circle for Burnford has to be enlarged by an area factor which is found as follows:- Area factor = Area of Burnford = 1200 = Area of Carnford 630 Scale Factor = Area Factor = 1.38 Radius of New Circle = 4 x 1.38 = 5.76 = 5.8 cm To Calculate The Radius of the Circle for Appleford By a similar method, the area factor is first found, and then the scale factor. Area factor = Area of Appleford = 4020 = Area of Carnford 630 Scale Factor = Area Factor = Radius of New Circle = = = 10.1 cm In this question any parish can be used as a starting point, and the resulting radii will be based on this parish. 86
87 Firstly find the ratio of the areas then to find the scale factor in which to multiply the radius (3cm) by, find the square root of the ratio of the areas and then multiply it by the radius (3cm) cm
88 A pie chart shows proportions but not frequencies. Comparative pie charts can be used to compare two sets of data of different sizes. The areas of the two circles should be in the same ratio as the two frequencies. 88
