Descriptive Statistics


What is Descriptive Statistics?
◦ Also known as deductive statistics
◦ Deals with gathering, classification, and
presentation of data
◦ Summarizes values to describe group
characteristics of data

Descriptive Statistics


Data Presentation
◦ Presenting data in tabular or graphical form is
not enough to get all the relevant information
◦ Data must be organized and analysis must be
readily made
 Data organization tools
 Frequency distribution table, histogram, ogive

 Data analysis tools
 Stem-and-leaf diagram, boxplot, time-series plot, probability
plot, scatter plot

Descriptive Statistics


Data Presentation
◦ The common statistics included may also not
be adequate to describe data
◦ There are many more measures used
 Measures of central tendency
 Mean, trimmed mean, median, mode

 Measures of dispersion
 Standard deviation, variance, range, interquartile range, mean
absolute deviation, coefficient of dispersion

 Measures on individual data points
 Standard deviation unit, standard score

Descriptive Statistics


Data Presentation
◦ The common statistics included may also not
be adequate to describe data
◦ There are many more measures used
 Measures of location
 Percentile

 Measures of skewness and kurtosis
 Coefficient of skewness, coefficient of peakedness

 Measure of linear relationship
 Correlation coefficient, Pearson’s r coefficient

 Example: Average weight of manufactured 100g potato chip
packs per day

 No pattern meaning random
 Considering acceptance limits, a few less than 97g or more than 103g
are rejected

 Cyclic pattern (there might be a reason to this cycle)
 Monthly sales of jackets increase when nearing 12th and 24th month
(because people are buying more jackets during the Ber months)

 Unit is unit2 of the variable

Descriptive Statistics


Statistical Measures
◦ Measures of Variability/Dispersion
 Standard deviation
 Most commonly used measure of variability/dispersion
 Deviation of data from the mean

 Always positive
 Square root of variance
 Unit is same as that of the variable

Descriptive Statistics


Statistical Measures
◦ Relative measure of Variability/Dispersion
 Coefficient of dispersion
 Used to compare different populations
 The lesser the value, the more consistent the data

 s is the sample standard deviation
 x is the sample mean

Descriptive Statistics


Statistical Measures
◦ Relative measure of Variability/Dispersion
 Example:
 Determine who among two friends, A and B, have more
consistent sleeping hours
 Quiz Question
Sleeping hours

 Hint: Solve for each friend’s coefficient of variability

Descriptive Statistics


Statistical Measures
◦ Measures on Individual Data Points
 Standard deviation unit
 Distance of a point from the mean
 The lesser the value, the closer the point is to the mean

 s is the sample standard deviation
 xi is the certain point in subject
 xbar is the sample mean (or any point of reference)

Descriptive Statistics


Statistical Measures
◦ Measure of Symmetry
 Coefficient of skewness
 Determines the symmetry of a distribution
 Third moment about the mean

 xbar is the sample mean
 n is the total number of data points
 s is the sample standard deviation
 a3 = 0; symmetric data set
 a3 < 0; skewed to the left data set
 a3 > 0; skewed to the right data set

Descriptive Statistics


Statistical Measures
◦ Measure of Symmetry
 Coefficient of skewness

Descriptive Statistics


Statistical Measures
◦ Measure of Kurtosis
 Coefficient of peakedness
 Determines the height of a unimodal distribution

 xbar is the sample mean
 n is the total number of data points
 s is the sample standard deviation
 a4 = 3; data is mesokurtic (normal)
 a4 > 3; data is leptokurtic (high peakedness)
 a4 < 3; data is platykurtic (low peakedness)

Descriptive Statistics


Statistical Measures
◦ Measure of Kurtosis
 Coefficient of peakedness

Descriptive Statistics


Statistical Measures
◦ Measure of Linear Relationship
 Correlation coefficient
 Determines the linearity between variables of a population

 Pearson’s r coefficient
 Determines the linearity between variables of a sample

 Nonzero correlation coefficient means there is a linear relationship
 Zero correlation coefficient means either they are independent of each
other or their relationship is nonlinear
 Excel scatterplot uses r2 which is more accurate and reliable
