1. To study the basic introductory concept of statistics, including the
branches of statistics, the basic terms of statistics, and types of
variables.

CHAPTER 1
Definition of basic terms
a) Population consists of all items or elements of interest for a
particular decision or investigation. E.g.: All married staff over
the age of 25 in UTHM.
b) Samples is a certain number of elements that have been chosen
from a population. Sample is a subset of population. E.g.: a list
of married staffs over the age 25 in the Registrar’s Office would
be a sample from the population of all married staffs over the
age of 25 in the UTHM.
c) Random sample is a sample drawn in such a way that each
element of the population has a chance of being selected.
d) Simple random sample implies that any particular sample of a
specified sample size has the same chance of being selected as
any other sample.

5

CHAPTER 1
e) Element / number is a specific subject or individual about which
the information is collected.
f) Variable is a characteristic of the individual within the sample or
population
g) Observation / measurement is the value of a variable for an
element.
h) Data set is a collection of values of one or more variables.
i) Ungrouped data set contains information of each number of a
sample or population.
j) Grouped data set is a collection of data which are grouped in
classes.
k) Raw data is data recorded in the sequence in which they are
collected and before they are processed or ranked.

6

CHAPTER 1
l) Population parameter is a descriptive measure computed from
a population data.
m) Sample statistic is a descriptive measure computed from a
sample data.
n) Outliers / Extreme Values are values that are very small or very
large relative to the majority of the values in a data set.

CHAPTER 1
 Measures of central tendency are statistical measures
which describe the position of a distribution.
 They are also called statistics of location, and are the
complement of statistics of dispersion, which provide
information concerning the variance or distribution of
observations.
 In the univariate context, the mean, median and mode are
the most commonly used measures of central tendency.

CHAPTER 1
Mean
- The average of data values

Median
- Middle value in ranked list
- Data must be arranged in increasing or decreasing order.
-Ungrouped data and grouped data

Mode
- Value that occur most frequency

CHAPTER 1
Mode for Ungrouped Data
The frequency of each value in the data set.
•If no value occurs more than once, then the data set has no
mode.
•Otherwise, any value that occurs with the greatest frequency
is a mode of the data set.

A characteristic that varies from one
person or thing to another

Quantitative A numerically valued

Qualitative

variable

A non-numerically valued
variable

A quantitative variable

Organizing Data
Grouped frequency distribution
-Is obtained by giving classes or intervals together with the
number of data values in each class.
Cumulative frequency
-Is the frequency of a class that includes all values in a data set
that fall below the upper boundary of that class
Class midpoint or mark
lower lim it Upper lim it
-Is the number halfway between the lower and upper class limits
of a class
2
Class width
-Upper boundary – lower boundary
