Probability and Statistics
Statistics
 A branch of mathematics that deals with the
collection, organization and analysis of numerical
data and with such problems as experiment design
and decision making.
3 Important features of Statistics:
1. Data gathering
2. Data analysis
3. Making decision
Probability and Statistics
Definition of terms
1. Raw data
 Data collected in original form
2. Variable
 Characteristic or attribute that can assume
different values
3. Population
 All subjects possessing a common characteristic
that is being studied
Probability and Statistics
Definition of terms
4. Sample
 A subgroup or subset of a population
5. Parameter
 Characteristic or measure obtained from a
population
6. Qualitative variables
 Variables which assume non-numerical values
Probability and Statistics
Definition of terms
7. Quantitative variables
 variables which assume numerical values
8. Discrete variables
 Variables which assume finite or countable
number of possible values, usually obtained by
counting
9. Continuous variables
 Variables which assume infinite number of
possible values, usually obtained by
measurement
Probability and Statistics
 Everyone involved in the experiment must have a
clear idea about what is to be studied, how the data
is to be collected and at least a qualitative
understanding as to how these data are to be
analyzed.
Guidelines for designing experiments:
1. Statement of the problem / recognition of the
problem
 Develop all the ideas about the objectives of
the experiment
Probability and Statistics
Guidelines for designing experiments:
2. Choice of factors and levels
 Choose the factors to be varied in the
experiment
 Choose the ranges over which these factors will
be varied
 Identify the specific levels at which runs will be
made
Probability and Statistics
Guidelines for designing experiments:
3. Selection of the response variable
 The experimenter should be certain that this
variable really provides useful information
about the process under study
4. Choice of experimental design
 Involves the consideration of sample size
(number of replicates/trials), the selection of a
suitable run order for the experimental trials,
and the determination of whether or not
blocking or other randomization restrictions
involved.
Probability and Statistics
Guidelines for designing experiments:
5. Performing the experiment
 Monitor the process carefully to ensure that
everything is being done according to plan
6. Data analysis
 Analyzing the data collected during the
experiment by statistical methods
6. Conclusions
 Making decision based on the statistical results
Probability and Statistics
Methods of Sampling
1. Random sampling
 sampling in which the data is collected using
chance methods or random numbers.
2. Systematic sampling
 Sampling in which the data is collected by
selecting every kth object
3. Stratified sampling
 Sampling in which the population is divided into
groups (strata) according to some characteristic.
Each strata is then sampled either random or
systematic
Probability and Statistics
Methods of Sampling
4. Cluster sampling
 sampling in which the population is divided into
groups (usually geographically). Some of these
groups are randomly selected, and then all of
the elements in those groups are selected.

Measures of Shape
1. Skewness
 A measure of the symmetry of the distribution

 If Sk = 0 – the distribution is symmetric with
respect to the mean, i.e., right and left tails are
of equal length (the distribution is called normal
or Gaussian)
