• Why do we do statistics?
2
•What is statistics?
To understand and explain the “variability”

Why data
• As the global economy becomes increasingly electronic , the application of statistics to business and day to day applications has been increasing fast. 3
![Page 4: 1 Statistical Indicators and Statistical Thinking 1 Dr. T S G Peiris Department of Mathematics.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649e995503460f94b9c5ae/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
4
Why data are needed?
• Obtaining appropriate data is essential in conducting business/teaching/etc
• Data contain information needed to make a more informal decision in a particular situation.

The growth and development of statistics
• Widespread availability of software tools had led to an ever increasing application of statistical methods to business decision making.
• Today managers face problems/burdens, not having to make more and more decisions based on larger and larger volumes of data.

• Why we want to know about statistics?
Managers/Processionals have access to a large amount of
data.
Lack of knowledge of data and its variability by the managers is difficult to survive due to competition.That is to use available data to make decisions

• A market researcher needs to assess product characteristics to distinguish one product from another
• An investor wants to determine what firms are likely to have accelerated growth
• A lecturer wants to know the duration of which students access his notes in the website

• Dean of a Faculty wants to how students performed in an exam
• Students wants compare marks with others
• An engineer wants to know how traffic pass at a busy junction
Farmer wants to about prices of vegetables

In today’s world…• …we are constantly being bombarded with
statistics and statistical information. For example:– customer surveys – medical news – political polls – economic predictions– marketing information – scanner data
• How can we make sense out of all this data?• How do we differentiate valid from flawed
claims?
• What is statistics?9

Key statistical concepts (Statistical Thinking)
Population• A population is the group of all items of
interest to a statistics practitioner.• Frequently very large; sometimes infinite.
Sample• A sample is a set of data drawn from the
population.• Potentially very large, but less than the
population.. 12
![Page 13: 1 Statistical Indicators and Statistical Thinking 1 Dr. T S G Peiris Department of Mathematics.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649e995503460f94b9c5ae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Parameters
• A descriptive measure of a population.
Statistics• A descriptive measure of a
sample.

Statistical inference (Decisions)• Statistical inference is the process of making an
estimate, prediction, or decision about a population based on a sample.

Stats anxiety• A student is anxious about his statistics course, after he had
heard that the course is difficult. The lecturer provides last semester’s final exam marks to the student. What can be discerned from this list of numbers?

Thus statistic
• is a quantity that is calculated from a sample of data.
• It is used to give information about unknown values in the corresponding population.

Statistical Thinking
• As today's good decisions are driven by data. Professionals are increasingly required to justify decisions on the basis of data
• Statistical thinking is a science assisting you to make decisions under uncertainties
• To make thinking easier we use statistical indicators

Quality of information and variation are inversely related
•The larger the variation in the data, the lower the quality of the data (i.e., information): the Devil is in the Deviations
![Page 28: 1 Statistical Indicators and Statistical Thinking 1 Dr. T S G Peiris Department of Mathematics.](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042703/56649e995503460f94b9c5ae/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Why indicator CV is useful?
Eg. A manufacturer of television tubes has two types of tubes namely A and B. Mean life time tubes A and B are 1495 hrs and 1875 and SD of tubes are 220 hrs and 310 hrs respectively.
• The CV of A = 14.7%
• and CV of B = 16.5%

Indicators to Measure Percentiles
• First quartile (Q1): The sample 25th percentile (P25)
• Second quartile (Q2): The sample 50th percentile (P50) “median”
• Third quartile (Q3): The sample 75th percentile (P75)
• Inter quartile range (IQR): Q3 – Q1 • Desired Percentile:

Use of statistical indictors for decision making
• Body Mass Index Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indicator
calculated from a person's weight and height.
BMI provides a reliable indicator of body fatness for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems .
