Some things to note Data/Data set – Set of values collected or obtained when gathering information on some issue of interest. Statistics – Collection of methods for planning experiments, obtaining data, and then organizing, summarizing, presenting, analyzing, interpreting the data and drawing conclusions from it. Statistics in the above sense refers to the methodology used in drawing meaningful information from a data set. This use of the term should not be confused with statistics (referring to a set of numerical values) or statistics (referring to measures of description obtained from a data set). Ratio scale – Level of measurement where differences and ratios are meaningful and there is a natural zero. This is the “highest” level of measurement in terms of possible operations that can be performed on the data. Parameter – Characteristic or measure of description obtained from a population while Statistic is obtained from a sample Sampling frame (synonyms: "sample frame", "survey frame" – This is the actual set of units from which a sample is drawn Simple random sampling – Sampling in which each sample of a given size that can be drawn will have the same chance of being drawn. Most of the theory in statistical inference is based on random sampling being used. Systematic sampling – Sampling in which data is obtained by selecting every kth object, where k is approximately N/n. Convenience Sampling – Sampling in which data that is readily available is used e.g. surveys done on the internet. These include quota sampling. Quota sampling – Quota sampling is performed in 4 stages. a) Stage 1: Decide which characteristics of the elements/individuals in the population to be sampled are of importance. b) Stage 2: Decide on the categories to be sampled from. These categories are determined by cross-classification according to the characteristics chosen at stage 1. c) Stage 3: Decide on the overall number (quota) and numbers (sub-quotas) to be sampled from each of the categories specified in step 2. d) Stage 4: Collect the information required until all the numbers (quotas) are obtained. Example A company is marketing a new product and needs to know how potential customers might react to the product. Stage 1: It is decided that age (the 3 groups under 20, 20-40, over 40) and gender (male, female) are the characteristics that will determine the sample. Stage 2: The 6 categories to be sampled from are (male under 20), (male 20-40), (male over 40), (female under 20), (female 20-40) and (female over 40). Stage 3: The numbers (sub-quotas) to be sampled are (male under 20) - 40, (male 20-40) - 60, (male over 40) - 25, (female under 20) - 35, (female 20-40) - 65 and (female over 40) -30. The total quota is the total of all the sub-quotas i.e. 255. Stage 4: Visit a place where individuals to be interviewed are readily available e.g. a large shopping center and interview people until all the quotas are filled. Quota sampling is a cheap and convenient way of obtaining a sample in a short space of time. However, this method of sampling is not based on the laws of chance and cannot guarantee a sample that is representative of the population from which it is drawn. When obtaining a quota sample, interviewers often choose who they like (within criteria specifications) and may therefore select those who are easiest to interview. Therefore sampling bias can result. It is also impossible to estimate the accuracy of quota sampling (because sampling is not random)

Another question: Let's imagine, a class of only 5 girls with ages: 9, 11, 13, 15 and 17 years. If we are told to select three girls out of the class. What do you are think are the total number of possible selections that can be done? |

Nostradamus1:Correct! You are on fire man! Okay, here is a followup question. Assuming we calculate the mean of each of the 10 possible selections, what do you think will be the overall mean of those 10 values/means? No calculation, just tell me what you think the answer will be. |
Re: Statistic 117 Questions And Answers (no Solving Tho) by Nostradamus1: 10:50am On Jan 12, 2022 |
Obinoscopy:I guess it should be the same as the mean of the initial 5 numbers . |
Re: Statistic 117 Questions And Answers (no Solving Tho) by Obinoscopy(m): 3:17pm On Jan 12, 2022 |
Nostradamus1:Correct! If you check it out manually, you'll see the mean is 13 which is the mean if the initial 5 numbers. You are really on fire man....lol. Ok, next question. What do you think the median and mode of those 10 values/means will be? |
Re: Statistic 117 Questions And Answers (no Solving Tho) by Nostradamus1: 3:48pm On Jan 12, 2022 |
Obinoscopy:median is definitely 13 but the mode will probably be multimodal since all the initial ntmbers occur once. |
Re: Statistic 117 Questions And Answers (no Solving Tho) by Obinoscopy(m): 6:54pm On Jan 12, 2022 |
Nostradamus1:Yes the median is 13. Regarding the mode, let's do it manually: Selection 1: 9, 11, 13 (mean is 11) Selection 2: 9, 11, 15 (mean is 11.7) Selection 3: 9, 11, 17 (mean is 12.3) Selection 4: 9, 13, 15 (mean is 12.3) Selection 5: 9, 13, 17 (mean is 13) Selection 6: 9, 15, 17 (mean is 13.7) Selection 7: 11, 13, 15 (mean is 13) Selection 8: 11, 13, 17 (mean is 13.7) Selection 9: 11, 15, 17 (mean is 14.3) Selection 10: 13, 15, 17 (mean is 15) You are right, it's multimodal (12.3, 13 and 13.7). I actually thought it would be a mode of 13. |
