Statistics in Plural Sense as Statistical data.

Statistics in Plural Sense refers to numerical data of any phenomena placed in relation to each other.

For example ,numerical data relating to population ,production, price level, national income, crimes, literacy ,unemployment ,houses etc.,

Statistical in Singular Scene as Statistical method.

According to Prof.Horace Secrist:

“By Statistics we mean aggregate of facts affected to marked extend by multiplicity of causes numerically expressed, enumerated or estimated according to reasonable standard of accuracy ,collected in a systematic manner for a pre determined purpose and placed in relation to each other .”

Def:Measures of Central Tendency A single expression

representing the whole group,is selected which may convey a fairly adequate idea about the whole group.

This single expression is

known as average.

Averages are central part of distribution and, therefore ,they are also called measures of central tendency.

Types of Measures central tendency:

There are five types ,namely 1.Arithmetic Mean (A.M) 2.Median 3.Mode 4.Geometric Mean (G.M) 5.Harmonic Mean (H.M)

Features of a good average 1.It should be rigidly defined 2.It should be easy to

understand and easy to calculate

3.It should be based on all the observations of the data

4.It should be easily subjected to further mathematical calculations

5.It should be least affected by fluctuations of sampling

Arithmetic Mean (A.M) The most commonly used measure of central tendency. When people ask about the “average" of a group of scores, they usually are referring to the mean.

Page 11: Measures Of Central Tendency - jandkicai.org · Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central 2 Statistics in Plural Sense as Statistical data. Statistics in Plural

The arithmetic mean is simply dividing the sum of variables by the total number of observations.

Weighted Arithmetic Mean

The term ‘ weight’ stands for the relative importance of the different items of the series. Weighted Arithmetic Mean refers to the Arithmetic Mean calculated after assigning weights to different values of variable. It is suitable where the relative importance of different items of variable is not same

Page 34: Measures Of Central Tendency - jandkicai.org · Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central 2 Statistics in Plural Sense as Statistical data. Statistics in Plural

Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central

Weighted Arithmetic Mean is specially useful in problems relating to

1)Construction of Index numbers. 2)Standardised birth and death rates

Mathematical Properties of Arithmetic Mean

1.The Sum of the deviations of the items from arithmetic mean is always Zero. i.e.

2.The sum of squared deviations of the items from arithmetic mean is minimum or the least

( ) 02≤−∑ XX

Page 37: Measures Of Central Tendency - jandkicai.org · Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central 2 Statistics in Plural Sense as Statistical data. Statistics in Plural

Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central

37

3.The formula of Arithmetic

mean can be extended to

compute the combined

average of two or more

related series

Page 38: Measures Of Central Tendency - jandkicai.org · Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central 2 Statistics in Plural Sense as Statistical data. Statistics in Plural

Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central

38

4.If each of the values of a

variable ‘X’ is increased or decreased by some constant C, the arithmetic mean also increased or decreased by C .

Page 39: Measures Of Central Tendency - jandkicai.org · Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central 2 Statistics in Plural Sense as Statistical data. Statistics in Plural

Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central

39

Similarly When the value of the variable ‘X’ are multiplied by constant say k,arithmetic mean also multiplied the same quantity k .

Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central

40

When the values of variable are divided by a constant say ‘d’ ,the arithmetic mean also divided by same quantity

Merits Of Arithmetic Mean

1.Its easy to understand and easy to calculate.

2.It is based on all the items of the samples.

3.It is rigidly defined by a mathematical formula so that the same answer is derived by every one who computes it.

4.It is capable for further algebraic treatment so that its utility is enhanced

Limitations of Arithmetic Mean

1.Affected by extreme values i.e . Very small or very big values in the data unduly affect the value of mean because it is based on all the items of the series.

Page 46: Measures Of Central Tendency - jandkicai.org · Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central 2 Statistics in Plural Sense as Statistical data. Statistics in Plural

Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central

2.Mean is not useful for studying the qualitative phenomenon.

Median

The middle score of the distribution when all the scores have been ranked.

If there are an even number of scores, the median is the average of the two middle scores.

In an ordered array, the median is the “middle” number If n or N is odd, the median is the

middle number If n or N is even, the median is the

average of the two middle numbers

Mode The most frequent score in the

distribution. A distribution where a single

score is most frequent has one mode and is called unimodal.

A distribution that consists of only one of each score has n modes.

When there are ties for the most frequent score, the distribution is bimodal if two scores tie or multimodal if more than two scores tie.

Karl Pearson has expressed the relationship as follows. Mean –Mode=(Mean-Median)/3 Mean-Median=3(Mean-Mode)

Mode =3Median-2Mean Mean=(3Median-Mode)/2

Example

For a moderately skewed distribution of marks in statistics for a group of 200 students ,the mean mark and median mark were found to be 55.60 and 52.40.what is the modal mark?

Page 88: Measures Of Central Tendency - jandkicai.org · Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central 2 Statistics in Plural Sense as Statistical data. Statistics in Plural

Quantitative aptitude & Business Statistics: Measures Of Central

88

Solution

Since in this case mean=55.60and median =52.40 applying ,we get

Mode=3median -2Mean =3(52.40)-2(55.60) Mode =46
