, Chapter 1: Introduction to Statistics
1.1 Statistics Science and Observations
Statistics = shortened version of statistical procedures
Statistics: set of mathematical procedure for organizing, summarizing and interpreting information
Statistics serve two general proposes:
1. Used to organize and summarize the information so that the researcher can see what happened
in the research study and can communicate the results to others.
2. Help the researcher to answer the questions that initiated the research by determining exactly
what general conclusions are justified based on the specific results that were obtained.
Statistical procedures help ensure that the information or observations are presented and interpreted in
an accurate and informative way → help researchers bring order out of chaos.
Statistics provide researchers with a set of standardized techniques that are recognized and understood
throughout the scientific community → statistical methods used by one researcher will be familiar to other
researchers, who can accurately interpret the statistical analyses with a full understanding of how the
analysis was done and what the results signify.
Population: set of all individuals of interest in a particular study
Sample: Set of individual selected from a population usually intended to represent the population in a
research study
- Relationship between a population and a sample
Population and sample can also refer to scores: populations or samples of scores. Because research
typically involves measuring each individual to obtain a score, every sample (or population) of individuals
produces a corresponding sample (or population) of scores.
Variable: Characteristic or condition that changes or has different value for different individuals. Variable
can be:
- Characteristics that differ from one individual to another
- Environmental conditions that change
To demonstrate changes in variables, it is necessary to make measurements of the variables being
examined.
- Data (plural) are measurements or observations.
- Data set is a collection of measurements or observations.
- Datum (singular) is a single measurement or observation and is commonly called a score or raw
score.
