INTRODUCTION
TO
STATISTICS
R Dh@ker, Lecturer, PCNMS 1

INTRODUCTION
The word statistics conveys a variety of
meaning to people in different walks of life.
2R Dh@ker, Lecturer, PCNMS
The word statistics comes from the Italian
words Statista
( Statement).

The word Statistics today refers to either
quantitative information or a method of
delaling with quantitative or qualitative
information.

DEFINITION
“Statistics is defined as collection, Presentation,
analysis and interpretation of numerical data”.
Acc. Croxton & cowden
4
statistics is the sciences and art of dealing with
figure and facts.

Biostatistics is the branch of statistics
applied to biological or medical sciences.
Biostatistics is the methods used in dealing
with statistics in the field of health sciences
such as biology, medicine, nursing, public
health etc.

Biostatistics is the branch of statistics
applied to biology or medical sciences.
Biostatistics is also called “Biometry”
6
In Greek, Bios Life
Metron
So, it is measurement of life
Measured

USE & APPLICATION OF STATISTICS
It facilitates comparisons
It simplifies the message of figure
It helps in formulating and testing hypothesis
It help in prediction

SCALE OF MEASUREMENT
 Measurement is the process of assigning numbers
or labels to objects, persons, states, or events in
accordance with specific rules to represent
quantities or qualities of attributes.
 We do not measure specific objects, persons, etc.,
we measure attributes or features that define them.

Nominal Scales
Ordinal Scales
Interval Scales
Ratio Scales

There must be distinct classes but these classes
have no quantitative properties. Therefore, no
comparison can be made in terms of one category
being higher than the other.
For example - there are two classes for the
variable gender - males and females. There are
no quantitative properties for this variable or
these classes and, therefore, gender is a nominal
variable.
11

CONT…NOMINAL SCALE
Sometimes numbers are used to designate
category membership-
Example:
Country of Origin
1 = United States 3 = Canada
2 = Mexico 4 = Other
12

There are distinct classes but these classes have a
natural ordering or ranking. The differences can be
ordered on the basis of magnitude.
For example - final position of horses in a
thoroughbred race is an ordinal variable. The horses
finish first, second, third, fourth, and so on. The
difference between first and second is not
necessarily equivalent to the difference between
second and third, or between third and fourth. 13
Ordinal Scales

CONT…ORDINAL SCALES
 Does not assume that the intervals between numbers
are equal
Example:
finishing place in a race
(first place, second place)
1 hour 2 hours 3 hours 4 hours 5 hours 6 hours 7 hours 8 hours
1st place 2nd place 3rd place 4th place
14

INTERVAL SCALES
It is possible to compare differences in magnitude,
but importantly the zero point does not have a
natural meaning. It captures the properties of
nominal and ordinal scales - used by most
psychological tests.
Designates an equal-interval ordering - The
distance between, for example, a 1 and a 2 is the
same as the distance between a 4 and a 5
15

We can see that the same difference
exists between 10o C ( 50 F) and 20
degree C ( 68 F)
25 C ( 77F) and 35 C ( 95 F)
But we can not say that 20C is twice as
hot as a temperature of 10C
16

17
Example - Celsius temperature is an interval
variable. It is meaningful to say that 25 degrees
Celsius is 3 degrees hotter than 22 degrees Celsius,
and that 17 degrees Celsius is the same amount
hotter (3 degrees) than 14 degrees Celsius. Notice,
however, that 0 degrees Celsius does not have a
natural meaning. That is, 0 degrees Celsius does not
mean the absence of heat!

RATIO SCALES
It is the highest level for measurement
This level has all the three attributes:
 Magnitude
 Equal interval
 Absolute zero point
It represent continuous values
18

 Example:
 Biophysical parameters
Weight
Height
Volume
Blood pressure
19

30 Kg is thrice of 10 kg
20 cm is twice of 10 cm
8 hours is four time of 2 hours
20

TYPES OF MEASUREMENT SCALES
(CONT.)
Each of these scales have different properties
(i.e., difference, magnitude, equal intervals, or
a true zero point) and allows for different
interpretations.
21

The scales are listed in hierarchical order.
Nominal scales have the fewest measurement
properties and ratio having the most properties
including the properties of all the scales beneath
it on the hierarchy.
22
TYPES OF MEASUREMENT SCALES (CONT.)

The goal is to be able to identify the type of
measurement scale, and to understand proper
use and interpretation of the scale.

 Descriptive statisticsuse to organize and summarize the data to draw
meaningful interpretations.
 Descriptive statisticsdeal with the enumeration, organization and graphical
representation of data.
