Analysis
 A Parameter is a Summary Measure Computed to
Describe a Characteristic of the Population

In pairs, identify if the following are Samples or
Populations and would the summary measure
be a parameter or statistic?
Example

Statistical Methods
 Descriptive Statistics
 Collecting and describing data
 Inferential Statistics
 Drawing conclusions and/or making decisions
concerning a population based only on sample
data
© 2003 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
Descriptive Statistics
 Collect Data
 E.g., Survey
 Present Data
 E.g., Tables and graphs
 Characterize Data
 E.g., Sample Mean =
iX
n
∑

Inferential Statistics
 Estimation
 E.g., Estimate the
population mean weight
using the sample mean
weight
 Hypothesis Testing
 E.g., Test the claim that the
population mean weight is
120 poundsDrawing conclusions and/or making decisions
concerning a population based on sample results.

Why We Need Data
 To Provide Input to Survey
 To Provide Input to Study
 To Measure Performance of Ongoing Service or
Production Process
 To Evaluate Conformance to Standards (Is the target
being achieved)
 To Assist in Formulating Alternative Courses of Action
(Plan how to take action when the target is not
achieved)
 To Satisfy Curiosity
