,Chapter 1: Introduction to statistics
Statistics = a branch of mathematics used to summarize, analyze, and interpret what
we observe – to make sense or meaning of our observations. Really, statistics is used to
make sense of the observations we make.

Descriptive statistics = procedures used to summarize, organize and make sense of a
set of scores or observations. Descriptive statistics are typically presented graphically, in
tabular form or as summary statistics. Are typically used to quantify the behaviors
researchers measure.

Inferential statistics = procedures used to allow researchers to infer or generalize
observations made with samples to the larger population from which they were selected.

Descriptive statistics  applying statistics to organize and summarize information
Inferential statistics  applying statistics to interpret the meaning of information

Data = the recorded observations that researchers make.

General structure for making scientific observations
1. Ask a question
2. Set up a research study
3. Evaluate findings
4. Measure behavior

Mean = average
Median = middle
Mode = common

Tables and graphs serve a similar purpose to summarize large and small sets of data.
One particular advantage of tables and graphs is that they can clarify findings in a
research study.

Population = the set of all individuals items, or data of interest. This is the group about
which scientists will generalize

Population parameter = a characteristic (usually numeric) that describes a population

Sample = a set of individuals, items, or data selected from a population of interest

Sample statistic = a characteristic (usually numeric) that describes a sample. This is
the value that is measured in the study. A sample statistic is measured to estimate the
population parameter.

1.4 Scales of measurement
in all, scales of measurement are characterized by 3 properties:
1. Order: does a larger number indicate a greater value than a smaller number?
2. Difference: does subtracting two numbers represent some meaningful value?
3. Ratio: does dividing two
numbers represent some
meaningful value?

Scales of measurement = rules
for how the properties of numbers
can change with different uses

, - Nominal scales: measurements in which a number is assigned to represent
something or someone
- Ordinal scales: measurements that convey order or rank alone
- Interval scales: measurements that have no true zero and are distributed in equal
units
- Ratio scales: measurements that have a true zero and are distributed in equal
units

Coding = the procedure of converting a nominal or categorical variable to a numeric
value

true zero = when the value 0 truly indicates nothing on a scale of measurement.
Interval scales do not have a true zero

researchers also distinguish between the types of data they measure. The variables for
which researchers measure data fall into two broad categories:
- Variables can be categorized as continuous or discrete
- Variables van be categorized as quantitative or qualitative

Continuous variable = is measured along a continuum at any place beyond the
decimal point. A continuous variable can thus be measured in fractional units e.g. time for
Olympic sprinters

Discrete variable = is measured in whole units or categories that are not distributed
along a continuum e.g. number of brothers and sisters

Quantitative variable = varies by amount. This variable is measured numerically and is
often collected by measuring or counting

Qualitative variable = varies by class. This variable is often represented as a label and
describes nonnumeric aspects of phenomena (only discrete variables).
