Summary
Business statistics is the science of collecting, describing, and interpreting data. It involves calculating measures like mean, variance and standard deviation. It also involves different types of data and variables, and methods of data collection.
Statistics and Data
Statistics is the science of collecting, describing, and interpreting data. Data can be numerical and either discrete or continuous. Variables are characteristics that can change from one individual or object to another.
Measures of Centrality
The mean is the average value of a data set. It is calculated by summing all the values and dividing by the number of values. The variance and standard deviation measure how spread out the values are.
Data Collection and Representation
Data collection methods include experiments and observational studies. Data can be represented using graphs like bar graphs and Pareto diagrams. Scatter diagrams show the relationship between two variables.
Probability and Correlation
Probability measures the likelihood of an event occurring. The coefficient of linear correlation measures the strength of the linear relationship between two variables. Correlation does not imply causation.
Key terms
- mean
- The average value of a data set.
- variance
- A measure of how spread out numbers are.
- standard deviation
- The square root of the variance.
- bivariate data set
- A data set that focuses on two characteristics.
- linear correlation
- The strength of the linear relationship between two variables.
- empirical rule
- A rule that states almost all data will fall within 3 standard deviations from the mean in a normal distribution.
