<h1>Why Should I Learn Statistics?</h1> | ||
|
||
Variation is an inevitability facet of life! Every process has variation.High variation means low quality. | ||
**Decision makers make better decisions when they use all available information in an effective and | ||
meaningful way. The primary role of statistics is to provide decision makers with methods for obtaining and | ||
analyzing information to help make these decisions. Statistics is used to answer long-range planning | ||
questions, such as when and where to locate facilities to handle future sales.** | ||
|
||
|
||
**Just like weather, if we cannot control something, We should learn how to measure and analyze in | ||
order to predict it, effectively.** | ||
|
||
``The aim of this blog is to provide you with hands-on | ||
experience to promote the use of statistical thinking and techniques to apply them to make educated decisions | ||
whenever you encounter variation in business data.`` | ||
|
||
<h1>What Is Business Statistics?</h1> | ||
|
||
The main objective of Business Statistics is to make inferences (predictions, decisions) about certain | ||
characteristics of a population based on information contained in a random sample. | ||
|
||
Business Statistics is the science of "good" decision making in the face of uncertainty and is used in many | ||
disciplines, such as financial analysis, econometrics, auditing, production and operations, and marketing | ||
research. It provides knowledge and skills to interpret and use statistical techniques in a variety of business | ||
applications. | ||
- Carefully planned statistical studies remove hindrances to high quality and productivity at every stage of | ||
production, saving time and money. It is well recognized that quality must be engineered into products as | ||
early as possible in the design process. One must know how to use carefully planned, cost-effective | ||
experiments to improve, optimize and make robust products/services and processes data. | ||
|
||
Statistical topics are about decision-making with respect to the characteristics of a group of persons or objects | ||
on the basis of numerical information obtained from a randomly selected sample of the group. | ||
|
||
<h1>Types of Statistical Analyses:</h1> | ||
|
||
- ``Descriptive Statistics`` is concerned with summary calculations, graphs, charts, and tables. | ||
|
||
- ``Inferential Statistics`` is a method used to generalize from a sample to a population. For example, the | ||
average income of all families in the US (the population) can be estimated from figures obtained from a | ||
few hundred families (the sample). | ||
|
||
|
||
<h2>Statistical Population:</h2> A statistical population is the collection of all possible observations with a specified | ||
characteristic of interest. | ||
**An example :** all the students in the College is population then ECE, Computer Science ,1st year,2nd Year and etc, are the sample. Note | ||
that a sample is a subset of the population. | ||
<h2>Variable:</h2>A variable is an item of interest that can take on many different values. | ||
|
||
<h1>Types of Variables or Data:</h1> | ||
|
||
- ``Qualitative Variables`` are non-numerical variables that cannot be measured. Examples include gender, | ||
religious affiliation, place of birth. | ||
|
||
- ``Quantitative Variables`` are numerical variables that can be measured. Examples include balance in | ||
your checking account, number of children in your larger family. Note that quantitative variables are | ||
either discrete (which can assume only certain values, and there are usually "gaps" between the values, | ||
such as the number of bedrooms in your house) or continuous (which can assume any value within a | ||
specific range, such as the air pressure in a tire). | ||
