1.Introduction
• What is Quantitative Techniques(QT) ?
• Application of mathematics and statistics in business in a
systematic way
• This course is about applications of statistics in management
and research
• What is Statistic ?
• What is the age of your class ? (is it correct?)
• How many mangoes did you eat last summer ?
• Are you a Statistician ?
12
What is Statistics?
• Science of gathering, analyzing, interpreting,
and presenting data
• Statistics is the method of conducting a study
about a particular topic by collecting,
organizing, interpreting and finally presenting
the data.
13
Statistics As a Subject
• Functions:
– Represent facts in definite form
– Add precision to the facts
– Comparisons between groups
– Testing of Hypothesis
– Measure uncertainty
14
• Limitations of Statistics
– Statistics does not study Qualitative Phenomena
– Statistics does not study Individuals
– Where will you take your ill granny?

Sampling Techniques
• Systematic Sampling
– Select a random starting point and then
select every kth subject in the population
– Simple to use so it is used often
19
Sampling Techniques
Stratified Sampling
Divide the population into at least two different
groups with common characteristic(s), then draw
SOME subjects from each group (group is called
strata or stratum)
Results in a more representative sample
20
Sampling Techniques
Cluster Sampling
Divide the population
into groups (called
clusters), randomly
select some of the
groups, and then
collect data from ALL
members of the
selected groups
Examples:
Exit Polls
21
Sampling Techniques
Convenience Sampling
As the name implies, the sample is selected because they
are conveniently available.
Examples:
Using family members or students in a classroom
Mall shoppers
22
Judgment Sampling
• Also called purposive sampling
• An experienced individual selects the sample based on his
or her judgment about some appropriate characteristics
required of the sample member
• The researcher selects the sample based on judgment. This
is usually an extension of convenience sampling.
• For instance, if a researcher wants to find out what it takes
for women managers to make it to the top, the only people
who can give first hand information are the women, who
have risen to the positions of presidents, vice presidents
and important top-level executives in work organizations.

2. Types of Statistical Methods
1. Descriptive Statistics
2. Inferential Statistics
• What do you mean by description?
• What do you mean by inference?
24
• Descriptive Statistics — using data
gathered on a group to describe or
reach conclusions about that same
group only
25
Descriptive Statistics
Collect data
ex. Survey
Present data
ex. Tables and graphs
Characterize data
ex. Sample mean =
X i
26
Descriptive statistics..
• Encompasses the following:
– Graphical or pictorial display
– Condensation of large masses of data into a form
such as tables
– Preparation of summary measures to give a
concise description of complex information (e.g.
an average figure)
– Exhibition of patterns that may be found in sets of
information
27
Inferential Statistics
Estimation
ex. Estimate the population
mean weight using the
sample mean weight
Hypothesis testing
ex. Test the claim that the
population mean weight is
75 kg
