Introduction..
› Statistics is the discipline that concerns the collection, organization, analysis and
interpretations and presentation of the data.
› Mathematical statistics is the application of mathematics to statistics.
Mathematical techniques used for this include mathematical analysis, linear
algebra, stochastic analysis, differential equations, and measure-theoretic
probability theory.
› In applying statistics to a problem, it is common practice to start with a
population or process to be studied. Populations can be diverse topics such as
"all people living in a country.”
› A statistician is someone who is particularly well versed in the ways of thinking
necessary for the successful statistical analysis.
Mean..
› There are several kinds of mean in mathematics,
especially in statistics.
› For a data set, the arithmetic mean, also called
the expected value or average, is the central value
of a discrete set of numbers: specifically, the sum
of the values divided by the number of values.
› The arithmetic mean of a set of numbers x1, x2, ...,
xn. If the data set were based on a series of
observations obtained by sampling from
a statistical population, the arithmetic mean is
the sample mean to distinguish it from the mean of
the underlying distribution, the population mean.
› In probability and statistics, the population mean,
or expected value, is a measure of the central
tendency either of a probability distribution or of
the random variable characterized by that
distribution.
Limitations and Uses of Mean..

› Limitations: The major disadvantage which does not occur always, is

the fact that a mean can be dramatically affected by outliers in the set.
For example, if we find the mean of the set 1,2,3,4,5 we get 3. However,
when we dramatically alter one no. in the set and then find the average,
the mean is quiet different. For example, 1,2,3,4,20 the mean is 6.

› Uses: the mean to describe the middle of the set which do not have an
outliers.
Mode….
› The mode is the value that occurs most often. If the no. is not repeated there is
no mode of the set.
› Like the statistical mean and median, the mode is a way of expressing, in a
(usually) single number, important information about a random variable or
a population. The numerical value of the mode is the same as that of the mean
and median in a normal distribution, and it may be very different in
highly skewed distributions.
Limitations and Uses of Mode……

› Limitations: Could be very far from the actual middle of the data. The
least reliable way to find the actual middle of the data.
