What is Statistics
Statistics is the scienceof dataThe Scientific Method
1. Formulate a theory
2. Collect data to test the theory3.Analyze the results
4. Interpret the results and make decisions

A $opulationis the set of all items orindi#iduals of interest
A Sampleis a subset of the population understudy so that inferences can be drawn from it
Statistical inferenceis the process of drawin'
conclusions about the population based oninformation from a sample

Testing Theories
%ypotheses Competin' theories that we want to testabout a population are called Hypotheses instatistics& Specifically we label these competin'theories as Null Hypothesis (H*) andAlternativeHypothesis (H+or HA)&
H*: %he null hypothesis is the status ,uo or thepre#ailin' #iewpoint&
HA: %he alternati#e hypothesis is the competin' belief&It is the statement that the researcher is hopin' topro#e&

!eciding Which Theory toSupportDecision makin' is based on the 4rare e#ent6 concept&Since the null hypothesis is the status ,uo we
assume that it is true unless the obser#ed result isextremely unlikely (rare) under the null hypothesis&
!efinition" If the data were indeed unlikely to beobserved under the assumption that H*is true, and
therefore we reect H*in favor of HA, then we say
that the data are statistically significant!

A sampleis a part of the population under study selected so thatinferences can be drawn from it about the population& Sample
sizes are usually represented by n& Samplin# error )variation*is the difference between the result
obtained from a sample and the result that would be obtainedfrom a census&

systematically differ from the truth about the population&()ampleCon#enience samples and #olunteer samples 'enerally
lead to biased samples&
Selection biasis the systematic tendency on the part of thesamplin' procedure to exclude or include a certain part of thepopulation
Nonresponse biasis the distortion that can arise because a lar'enumber of units selected for the sample do not respond&
"esponse biasis the distortion that arises because of the wordin'of a ,uestion or the beha#ior of the inter#iewer&
