Statistics ءاـصحلئا 3-1 Definitions فيراعت Statistics is a branch of Mathematics that deals collecting, • analyzing, summarizing, and presenting data to help in the decision-making process. • Statistics is applied in all fields of life such as: • Industry • Business • Education • Physics • Chemistry • Economics • Biology • Agriculture • Psychology • Astronomy, etc. 2 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3
• Population is all the members of a group about which we want Examples on population are: to draw a conclusion. • All Omani citizens who are currently above 40 years • All patients treated at a particular hospital in Sohar last year • The entire daily output of a food factory’s production line • All students who studied Maths in GFP in 2016 / 2017 • Sample is the part of the population selected for analysis. Examples on sample are: • 500 people above 40 years selected from Oman people. • The patients selected to fill out a patient satisfaction questionnaire • 100 boxes of food selected from a factory’s production line • 50 students selected from all students who studied Maths in GFP in 2016 / 2017 SET 3 - Chapter 3 3 GFP - Sohar University • Variable is a property of an item or an individual that will be analyzed using statistics . Examples on variable are: • Gender (boy or girl) • Age of students study in Sohar University • Income in OMR of a hypermarket in Sohar per month • Number of traffic accidents in Muscat per year 4 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3
3 - 2 Presentation of Ungrouped Data ةـبﱠوـَبـُملا ريغ تانايبلا ضرع • Ungrouped data can be presented as diagrams in several ways including bar graph and pie chart. • Bar graph or chart consists of two or more categories along one axis and a series of bars, one for each category, along the other axis. The length of the bar represents the magnitude of the measure (amount, frequency, money, percentage, etc.) for each category. The bar graph may be either horizontal or vertical . SET 3 - Chapter 3 5 GFP - Sohar University • Pie chart is a circular diagram of data where the area of the whole pie represents 100% of the data and slices of the pie represent the percentage breakdown of the categories. Pie charts show the relative magnitudes of the parts to the whole. 6 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3
• The figure below shows a vertical bar graph presentation of the expenditures of a college undergraduate for the past year . • Comparing the size of the bars, we can quickly see that room and board expenses are nearly double tuition fees, and tuition fees are more than double books and lab or transportation expenses. SET 3 - Chapter 3 7 GFP - Sohar University • A bar graph may also be placed on its side with the bars going horizontally, as shown in the figure below: 8 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3
• The bar graph have a limitation that it’s difficult to see what portion of the total each item comprises. If knowing about a “part of the whole” is important, then a pie chart is a better choice for showing the same data. • A pie chart may also display each category’s percentage of the total. • Using the same data from the previous example, we get the pie chart shown below. SET 3 - Chapter 3 9 GFP - Sohar University 3 - 3 Frequency Distribution يراركتلا عيزوتلا • A frequency distribution is an organized tabulation showing exactly how many values are located in each class. • A frequency distribution presents an organized picture of the entire set of scores, and it shows where each values is located relative to others in the distribution. • An example on frequency distribution is the marks of 16 students scored in a SET 1 quiz: { 65 , 73 , 64 , 85 , 66 , 77 , 82 , 93 , 86 , 63 , 58 , 63 , 62 , 79 , 61 , 74 } Class Class Boundaries Tally Frequency 50 – 59 49.5 – 59. 5 I 1 60 – 69 59.5 – 69.5 IIII II 7 IIII 70 – 79 69.5 – 79.5 4 80 – 89 79.5 – 89.5 III 3 90 – 99 89.5 – 99.5 I 1 Total 16 10 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3
• Below is the steps of constructing a frequency distribution: • Step 1: Figure out how many classes you need. There are no strict rules about how many classes to choose, but there are a two general guidelines: - Choose between 5 and 20 classes. - Make sure you have a few values in each category. For example, if you have 20 values, choose 5 classes (4 values per category), not 20 classes (which would give you only 1 value per category). • Step 2: Find the range by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value in your data set. • Step 3: Divide your answer in Step 2 by the number of classes you chose in Step 1. • Step 4: Round the number from Step 3 up to a whole number to get the class width. SET 3 - Chapter 3 11 GFP - Sohar University • Step 5: Write down your lowest value for your first lower limit. Add the class width from Step 4 to Step 5 to get the next class lower limit. • Step 6: Keep on adding your class width to your lower limit values until you have created the number of classes you chose in Step 1. • Step 7: Write down the class upper limits. These are the highest values that can be in the category, so in most cases you can subtract 1 from class width and add that to the lower limit. • Step 8: Find the class boundaries by subtracting 0.5 from each lower class limit and adding 0.5 to each upper class limit. • Step 9: Tally the scores by counting the number of items in each class, and put the total in the third column called frequency. 12 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3

Solution: (a) Frequency Distribution: Step 1: We will construct a frequency distribution with 5 classes. Step 2: Range = Highest Value – Lowest Value = 154 – 118 = 36 Step 3: Class width = (Range / No. of classes) = 36 / 5 = 7.2 Step 4: Class width = 8 14 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3
Step 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9: are as in the following table: Thus, the frequency distribution is shown in the table below: SET 3 - Chapter 3 15 GFP - Sohar University (b) Histogram 16 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3

The three most widely used measures of central tendency are the mean, median, and mode. • The mean ( ) for a sample consisting of n observations is: • The median is the middle number in a group of numbers arranged in sequential order. In a set of numbers, half will be greater than the median and half will be less than the median. • The mode is the value in a data set that occurs the most often. If no such value exists, we say that the data set has no mode. If two such values exist, we say the data set is bimodal. If three such values exist, we say the data set is trimodal. 18 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3
Example 2: Find the mean of the following set of numbers: 6, 8, 19, 14, 4, 11, 15. Solution: Example 3: Ahmed has four grades of equal weight in Maths. They are 82, 90, 88, and 85. What is Ahmed’s mean in Maths? Solution: SET 3 - Chapter 3 19 GFP - Sohar University Example 4: Find the median of the following set of numbers: 5, 7, 19, 12, 4, 11, 15. Solution: Putting the numbers in sequential order gives: 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 15, 19 The middle number is the median, so 11 is the median. Example 5: Find the median of the following set of numbers: 5, 7, 19, 12, 4, 11, 15, 13. Solution: Arranging the values gives: 4, 5, 7, 11, 12, 13, 15, 19 There are two middle numbers: 11 and 12, So, the median 20 GFP - Sohar University SET 3 - Chapter 3
Example 6: Find the mode of the following set of numbers: 5, 7, 9, 12, 9, 11, 15. Solution: The number 9 occurs twice in the list, so 9 is the mode. Example 7: Find the mode of the following set of numbers: 5, 7, 19, 12, 4, 11, 15. Solution: None of the numbers occurs more than once, so there is no mode. Example 8: Find the mode of the following set of numbers: 5, 7, 9, 12, 9, 11, 5. Solution: The numbers 5 and 9 both occur twice in the list, so both 5 and 9 are modes and the set is bimodal .
