Inferential Statistics
Population?
Fundamental Elements
of Statistics
Fundamental Elements
1. Experimental unit
• Object upon which we collect data
2. Population
• All items of interest
3. Variable
• Characteristic of an individual
experimental unit
4. Sample
• Subset of the units of a population
• P in Population
& Parameter
• S in Sample
& Statistic
Fundamental Elements
1. Statistical Inference
• Estimate or prediction or generalization about a
population based on information contained in a
sample
2. Measure of Reliability
• Statement (usually qualified) about the degree
of uncertainty associated with a statistical
inference
Four Elements of Descriptive
Statistical Problems
1. The population or sample of interest
2. One or more variables (characteristics of the
population or sample units) that are to be
investigated
3. Tables, graphs, or numerical summary tools
4. Identification of patterns in the data
Five Elements of Inferential
Statistical Problems
1. The population of interest
2. One or more variables (characteristics of the
population units) that are to be investigated
3. The sample of population units
4. The inference about the population based on
information contained in the sample
5. A measure of reliability for the inference
Processes
© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc
Process
A process is a series of actions or operations that
transforms inputs to outputs. A process produces or
generates output over time.
Process
A process whose operations or actions are unknown or
unspecified is called a black box.
Any set of output (object or numbers) produced by a
process is called a sample.
Types of Data
Types of Data
Quantitative data are measurements that are recorded
on a naturally occurring numerical scale.
Qualitative data are measurements that cannot be
measured on a natural numerical scale; they can only be
classified into one of a group of categories.

Collecting Data
Collecting Data
1. Data from a published source
2. Data from a designed experiment
3. Data from a survey
4. Data collected observationally
Obtaining Data
Published source:
book, journal, newspaper, Web site
Designed experiment:
researcher exerts strict control over units
Survey:
a group of people are surveyed and their
responses are recorded
Observation study:
units are observed in natural setting and
variables of interest are recorded
Samples
A representative sample exhibits characteristics
typical of those possessed by the population of
interest.
A random sample of n experimental units is a
sample selected from the population in such a way
that every different sample of size n has an equal
chance of selection.
Random Sample
Every sample of size n has an equal chance of
selection.
The Role of Statistics in
Managerial Decision Making
Statistical Thinking
Statistical thinking involves applying rational
thought and the science of statistics to critically
assess data and inferences. Fundamental to the
thought process is that variation exists in
populations and process data.
A random sample of n experimental units is a
sample selected from the population in such a way
that every different sample of size n has an equal
chance of selection.
Nonrandom Sample Errors
Selection bias results when a subset of the
experimental units in the population is excluded so
that these units have no chance of being selected for
the sample.
Nonresponse bias results when the researchers
conducting a survey or study are unable to obtain data
on all experimental units selected for the sample.
Measurement error refers to inaccuracies in the
values of the data recorded. In surveys, the error may
be due to ambiguous or leading questions and the
interviewer’s effect on the respondent.

Data Presentation
Data Presentation
Tabular Presentation is a means of
arranging and presenting data in rows and
columns so that the reader may easily, see,
compare, and analyze them.
Characteristics of a good table are: 1)
simple in design; 2) logical in arrangement;
and 3) easy to read.
Data Presentation
Graphical Presentation is presenting
numerical values or relationships in picture
form. It is most effective and most
convincing ways to present data result.
Graphical method attracts attention;
gives comprehensive view of quantitative
data; more meaningful; essential facts are
grasped quickly; and simple.
Data Presentation
Line Graph is the oldest, simplest, most familiar and most widely used.
The points are usually plotted with reference to arithmetic scale. The
horizontal and vertical dimensions should bear a reasonable proportion
to each other.
Bar Graph used to show comparison of categories as chronological
comparisons. Horizontal and Vertical arrangement of the individual
bars are used when comparison of categories is being made.
Pie or Circle Graph is a diagram of circular shape cut into division
where each size of every section is indicative of the proportion of each
component. It aims to show percent distribution of a whole into its
component parts. A maximum of 5 or 6 sectors would be acceptable
but 5 or less would be preferable.
Data Presentation
Example:
Total government revenues from taxes reached
P1375 million in year 2000. The principal sources of these
receipts in 1980 were P885 million in indirect taxes and the
P374 million in direct taxes. The two other sources of
revenues were property income of government and net
donations from abroad to the government which shared
P75 million and P41 million respectively.

ASSESSMENT #1
1. Present the data in a well-organized and well-labeled statistical table.
The following data appeared in the Asian Computer Yearbook 1979-1980, published by the Computer Publication Ltd.
Computer growth during 1978 and 1979 in the ASEAN countries, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand,
was shown in terms of the growth of the following: installations; computer manufacturers and agents; consultants programing
services, and software houses; and service bureaus.
Among the five countries, the Philippines had the most number of installations, having 196 in 1978 and increasing to
286 in 1979. Indonesia had 15 in 1978 and 102 in 1979;.Malaysia with 70 and 175; Singapore with 98 and 228; Thailand with 75 and
112; totaling to 454 units in 1978 and remarkably increasing to 903 units in 1979. Installations here referred to an in-house
installation which could comprise one or more computers. It did not necessarily indicate a single computer. The increase in the
number of computers was primarily accounted for by new installations. However in some countries such as Indonesia, the recorded
increase in the number of installations as well as of companies in the computer business was also a function of the addition of entries
which were not recorded in the previous year. Regarding computer manufacturers and agents, Singapore exhibited the most
distinctive increase from 8 in 1978 to 23 in 1979. Indonesia had 6 in 1978 and 13 in 1979; Malaysia with 9 and 12; Philippines with
13 and 19; Thailand with 7 and 14; summing up to a total of 43 computer manufacturers and agents in 1978 and 81 in 1979. Then,
consultants, programing services and software houses quadrupled during the 2-year period, that is from 8 in 1978 to 32 in 1979. For
this case, Indonesia had 1 in 1978 and 8 in 1979; for Malaysia the number in 1978 could not be determined since no survey forms
were returned but there were 4 in 1979; Philippines had 3 and 7; Singapore had 2 and 10, and Thailand had 2 and 3. Lastly, the
Philippines again had the most number of service bureaus, 4 in 1978 and 19 in 1979. Indonesia and Malaysia had 1 and 5 each;
Singapore with 3 and 5; Thailand with 2 and 3; totaling to all service bureaus in 1978 and 37 in 1979.
2. Portray the trend of “XXX” short-term debt since 2007 in the form of a graph. You may select the appropriate graph.
The short-term debt of the XXX corporation for the year 2007-2018, in millions of pesos, is:
Year Short-term debt (P millions) Year Short-term debt (P millions)
2007 124 2013 126
2008 2025 2014 59
2009 1841 2015 1706
2010 619 2016 2888
2011 915 2017 3456
2012 469 2018 3500
