Data Management

Data management involves collecting, organizing, presenting, analyzing, and interpreting numerical data. There are two main types of statistics: descriptive statistics which describes and summarizes data, and inferential statistics which analyzes data to make predictions or inferences. Variables are characteristics being studied and can be qualitative like gender or quantitative like height which can be discrete like number of students or continuous like weight. Data can come from primary sources like surveys or secondary sources from published materials.

Data
Management or
Statistics
the science of collecting, organizing,
presenting, analyzing and interpreting
numerical data.
1. Descriptive Statistics
- is concerned with
collecting, organizing,
presenting, and analyzing
TYPES Of numerical data. the
STATISTICS statistician tries to decribe
or summarize the
situation.
2. Inferential Statistics
- is concerned with
analyzing the organized data
leading to prediction or
inferences.
TYPES Of - it implies that befre
STATISTICS carrying out an inference,
appropriate and correct
descriptive measures or
methods are employed to bring
our good results.
• It is the characteristics
being studied.
• It varies accross
individuals or objects.
• It includes age, race,
VARIABLE gender, intelligence,
religious affillation,
height, weight, marital
status, etc.
TWO TYPES OF VARIABLE

1. QUALITATIVE 2. QUANTITATIVE
-DISCRETE VARIABLE
-CONTINUOUS VARIABLE
- represent differences
in quality, character, or
kind but not in amount.
QUALITATIVE
VARIABLE Example: sex,
birthplace, marital
status, eye color, etc.
QUANTITATIVE VARIABLES

- can be Example: weight,


- numerical in
categorized as height, test scores,
nature and can be
discrete or speed, body
ordered or ranked
continuous. temperature, etc.
- variable whose values can
be counted using integral
values

DISCRETE Examples:

VARIABLES
number of enrollees, drop-
outs, deaths, number of
students in a classroom
- variable that can assume any
numerical value over an
interval or intervals. It can
yields decimal or fraction.

CONTINUOUS Example:
VARIABLE

weight, height, temoerature


DEPENDENT VARIABLE- the
variable whose value is being
predicted.
INDEPENDENT VARIABLE- the
DEPENDENT predictor.
OR
INDEPENDENT Example 1: to predict the amount of
VARIABLE sunlight on the growth of the plant.

Example 2: to evaluate the effect og


using computer to the performance
of the students.
-primary element in data management

-a collection of observations of one or more


variables.

DATA
-factual information such as measurements
or statistics used as a basis for reasoning,
discussion or calculation.

- raw material which the statistician works. It


can be found through surveys, experiments,
numerical records and research.
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA

Primary data refers to the


Secondary data refers to
information gathered directly
information which are taken
from the original source or
from publishes or
which is based on direct or
unpublished data which are
first hand
previously gathered by other
experience( surveys,
individual (books,
interviews, observations,
magazines, newspaper, etc.)
diaries, etc.)
1. Nominal Data

SCALES OF 2. Ordinal Data


MEASUREMENT
OF DATA 3. Interval Data

4. Ratio Data
use numbers for the purpose of identifying
membership in a group or category.

Examples:

(a) electric consumption


Nominal Data (1) residential, (2) commecial, (3) industrial, (4)
government

(b) gender of TSU students

(1) female, (2) male


- connotes ranking

Examples:
Ordinal Data
(1) socioeconomic statues (low,
medium, high)

(2) contest (first, second, third)


- does not only include “greater than”
and “less than”relationships, but also
has a limit of measurement that permits
us to describe how much more or less
one object possesses that another.

Examples:
Interval Data 1. Temperature, in degrees fahrenheit
and celsius (but not in kelvin)
- similar to interval data, but has an
absolute zero and multiples are meaningful.

Examples:

RATIO DATA 1. Election votes

2. Height

3. Weight
