Def:Measures of • 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.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 2 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Averages are central part of distribution and, therefore ,they are also called measures of central tendency.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 3 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics 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)

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 4 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics

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.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 5 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics • The arithmetic mean is simply dividing the sum of variables by the total number of observations.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 6 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Arithmetic Mean for Ungrouped data is given by n ∑ xi + + + + X = x1 x2 x3 ...... xn = i=1 n n

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 9 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics 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

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 10 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics • Weighted Arithmetic Mean is specially useful in problems relating to • 1)Construction of Index numbers. • 2)Standardised birth and death rates

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 11 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics • Weighted Arithmetic Mean is given by W.X = ∑ ∑W

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 12 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Mathematical Properties of Arithmetic Mean • 1.The Sum of the deviations of the items from arithmetic mean is always Zero. i.e. ∑(X − X ) = 0 • 2.The sum of squared deviations of the items from arithmetic mean is minimum or the least 2 ∑(X − X ) ≤ 0 Quantitative Aptituide & Business 13 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics • 3.The formula of Arithmetic mean can be extended to compute the combined average of two or more related series

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 14 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics

• 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 .

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 15 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics • Similarly When the value of the variable ‘X’ are multiplied by constant say k,arithmetic mean also multiplied the same quantity k .

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 126 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics 1.Problem of Estimation

• This problem arises when no information is available about the parameters of the population from which the sample is drawn. Statistics obtained from the sample are used to estimate the unknown parameter of the population from which the sample is drawn. Quantitative Aptituide & Business 127 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics MEANING OF ESTIMATION

• In the context of statistics, an estimation is a statistical technique of estimating unknown population parameters from the corresponding sample statistic. Two ways - A population parameter ,can be estimated in two ways: • 1. Point Estimation, and • 2. Interval Estimation

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 128 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics POINT ESTIMATION

• It provides a single value of a statistic that is used to estimate an unknown population parameter. • Estimator -The statistic which is used to obtain a point estimate is called estimator. • Criteria for a Good Estimator - According to R A: Fisher, the criteria for good estimator are: • (a) Unbiased ness, (b) Consistency, (c) Efficiency and (d) Sufficiency Quantitative Aptituide & Business 129 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics INTERVAL ESTIMATION

• Provides an interval of finite width centered ,if the point estimate of the parameter, within which unknown parameter is expected to lie with a specified probability. Such an interval is called a confidence interval for population parameter.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 130 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics • Confidence Limits - The lower and upper limits of the confidence interval are called confidence limits. • Confidence Coefficient – The probability with which the confidence interval will include the true value of the parameter.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 131 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Calculation of Confidence 'Limits

• The calculation of confidence limits is based on the appropriate statistic. If the population is normal or the sample size (n) is large (say more than 30), percentage of area Under the standard normal curve maybe used to find confidence limits) corresponding to any specified percentage of confidence.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 132 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Why hypothesis is used?

• Hypothesis Testing is a process of making a decision on whether to accept or reject an assumption about the population parameter on the basis of sample information at a given level of significance.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 133 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics NULL HYPOTHESIS (Ho)

• Null hypothesis is the assumption which we wish to test and whose validity is tested for possible rejection on the basis of sample information. • It asserts that there is no significant difference between the sample statistic

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 134 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics NULL HYPOTHESIS (Ho)

• Acceptance - The acceptance of null hypothesis implies that we have no evidence to believe otherwise and indicates that the difference is not significant and is due to sampling fluctuations. • Rejection - The rejection of null hypothesis implies that it is false and indicates that the difference is significant.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 135 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS(H1) • Alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis which differs from the null hypothesis. It is not tested • Rejection of one implies the acceptance of the other.

• Symbol - It is denoted by H1 • Acceptance - Its depends on the rejection of the null hypothesis. Rejection - Its rejection depends on the acceptance of the null hypothesis.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 136 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Example for ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS(H1) • If population mean is 50, an alternative hypothesis may be anyone of the following three:

H1 : µ ≠50,H1 : µ > 50,H1: µ < 50 • Ho and HI are mutually exclusive statements in the sense that both cannot hold good simultaneously. • Rejection of one implies the acceptance of the other. Quantitative Aptituide & Business 137 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE(α )

• Level of significance is the maximum probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true. • Symbol - It is usually expressed as % and is denoted by symbol α (called 'Alpha ') • Usefulness - It is used as a guide in decision- making. It is used to indicate the upper limit of the size of the critical rejection.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 138 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Example of LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE(α ) • At 5% level of significance implies that there are about 5 chances in 100 of rejecting the Ho when it is true or in other words, we are about 95% confident that we will make a correct decision.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 139 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Usefulness

• It is used as a guide in decision making regarding acceptance or rejection of Ho' If the value of the test statistic falls in the critical region, the null hypothesis is rejected. If the value of the test statistic does not fall in the critical region, the null hypothesis is accepted.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 146 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Type I and Type II Errors

• The decision to accept or reject null hypothesis Ho is made on the basis of the information supplied by the sample data. There is always a chance of committing an error. There are two possible types of error in the test of a hypothesis.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 147 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics Type I and Type II Errors

• Type I Error - This is the error committed by the test in rejecting a true null hypothesis. The probability of committing Type I Error is denoted by α , the level of significance. . • Type II Error - This is the error committed by the test in accepting a false null hypothesis. The probability of committing Type II Error is denoted by β.

Quantitative Aptituide & Business 148 Statistics: Revision Of All Toics POWER OF THE TEST

• Power of the Test is the probability of rejecting a false null hypothesis. It can be calculated as follows: • Power of the Test = I-Probability of Type II Error.=1-β
