STAT 201- Exam 1 TAMUrole of statistician - answer1. Design Studies
2. Analyze Data
3. Translate data into knowledge and understanding of the world around us
descriptive statistics - answer organizing and summarizing data
inferential statistics - answer formal methods for drawing conclusions from data
probability - answer mathematical study of uncertainty- foundation of statistics
population - answer all individuals, objects, or things whose properties are being studied
parameter - answer a number that is used to represent a characteristic of the population
and that generally cannot be determined easily
sample - answer a subset of the population of interest that we will collect data on
representative sample - answer a subset of the population that has the same
characteristics as the population of interest
statistic - answer- a number that represents the property of interest in the sample
- an estimate of the parameter value that we get looking only at the sample
parameter is to population as statistic is to sample - answerwe use the statistic,
calculated from data obtained from a sample, in order to estimate the parameter which
is unknown
1. Have parameter that you are interested in learning about for some population
2. Obtain a sample from the pop.
3. Gather data on that sample
4. Calculate a statistic
5. Use the statistic as an estimate of the parameter
variable - answer- a characteristic or measurement that can be determined for each
member of a population
- 2 types
numerical/quantitative variable - answer- take on a number value of units
- discrete: measured in whole units (count data)
- continuous: can be measured in decimals (time to finish a race)
, categorical/qualitative variable - answer- take on a label
- nominal: no natural order to the variables (ethnicity)
- ordinal: is a natural order to variables ( movie reviews)
Identify population, statistic, parameter, sample, variable, & data:

pie chart - answer- categories of data are represented by wedges in a circle and are
proportional in size to the percent of individuals in each category
- displaying parts of a whole, cannot add up to be more than 100%
bar graph - answerthe length of the bar for each category is proportional to the number
or percent of individuals in each category. bars may be vertical or horizontal
methods of random sampling - answer1. simple random sample (srs)
2. systematic sample
3. stratified sample
4. cluster sample
simple random sample (SRS) - answer- every member of the population has an equal
chance of being chosen
