Some Basic Terminology
• Population: It is the complete set of all items of the study that interest an
investigator.
• Sample: It is the subset of a population or representative of the population.
• Parameter Vs. Statistic: A parameter is the specific characteristics of a population
while a statistic is the specific characteristic of a sample.
• Random sample: The sample which generated from random experiments.
• Variables: A characteristics of an item or individual.
• Random Variable: It is a variable whose possible values are numerical outcomes of
a random phenomenon or experiment. It is a mathematical concept used in
probability and statistics to quantify uncertain outcomes. There are two types of
random variables:
• Discrete Random Variable: Takes on a countable number of distinct values (e.g.,
number of heads when flipping a coin several times).
• Continuous Random Variable: Can take any value within a given range (e.g., the
time it takes to run a marathon).
• Standard Deviation: It is a statistical measure that quantifies the amount of
variation or dispersion in a set of data values. It indicates how spread out the
values in a dataset are relative to the mean (average) of the data.

What is Statistics?
• Statistics is the science of learning from Data
• “Statistics as the aggregate of facts affected to mark extent
by the multiplicity of causes, numerically expressed,
enumerated or estimated according to a reasonable standard
of accuracy, collected in a systematic manner for the
predetermined purpose and placed in relation to each other”.
:-Prof. Horace Secrist
“ All statistics are numerical statements of facts
but all numerical statements of facts are not
statistics”
How to Apply Statistics in Business
Decision?
DCOVAC
• Define the data you want to study to solve a
problem

• Analyze the data collected and reach conclusion.
• Communicate the result to the target audience.
