Limitations of Statistics
Statistics does not deal with IndividualMeasurements.
Data are statistical when they relate to
measurement of masses, not statisticalwhen they relate to an individual.
Statistics deals only with Quantitative
Characteristics. Such characteristics as cannot be
expressed in numbers are incapable ofstatistical analysis: Honesty, Efficiency,Intelligence. Prepared By: Kapil Verma 19

Statistical Results are true only on anAverage.
The Conclusions obtained statistically are
not universally true-they are true onlyunder certain conditions.
Statistics is only one of the Method of
studying a Problem. Do not provide the best solution under all
circumstances.

Statistics can be Misused.
Based on incomplete information, one mayarrive fallacious conclusions. E.g:
Can be moulded in any manner so as toestablish wrong or write conclusions.
It requires experience and skill to drawsensible conclusions.

Wrong presentation may misled the

Planning the Survey
Doing a survey requires planningplanning what you want to ask; how toask it; how many people to survey and
how to reach them, either by mail, inperson, or by telephone. Will you haveteam members asking the questions orwill the respondents, those completing
the survey, fill it out themselves? Thisguide addresses these issues step-by-step, so that you can make choices andinitiate a survey as systematically as
possible. Prepared By: Kapil Verma 29

Data Collection
Data collection is the act of assemblingand gathering the needed information inthe context of a specified research
investigation. Primary Data
Secondary Data
Prepared By: Kapil Verma 39
7/29/2019 Full Quantitative Techniques-I
40/161
Secondary Data
Data gathered by another source (e.g.research study, survey, interview)
Secondary data is gathered BEFORE primarydata. WHY?
Because you want to find out what is alreadyknown about a subject before you dive intoyour own investigation.
Because some of your questions can
possibly have been already answered byother investigators or authors. Why reinventthe wheel?

Primary Data Data never gathered before
Advantage: find data you need to suit
your purpose Disadvantage: usually more costly
and time consuming than collectingsecondary data

Issues in Secondary DataCollection Identifying the sources of data, various
publications where the required data may befound available.
Examining the available data, if theses satisfythe needs of the proposed researchinvestigation.

Characteristics of Secondary Data
Readymade and readily available
No original control
Limited in time and space. That is, theresearcher using them need not have beenpresent when and where they were
gathered.

Advantages of Secondary Data
Secondary data, if available, can be securedquickly and cheaply.
Wider geographical area and longer referenceperiod may be covered without much cost.Thus the use of secondary data extends theresearcher's space and time reach.
The use of secondary data enables a
researcher to verify the findings based onprimary data.

Disadvantages/limitations ofSecondary Data
The most important limitation is the availabledata may not meet, our specific researchneeds.
The available data may not be as accurate asdesired.
The secondary data are not up-to-date andbecome obsolete when they appear in print,
because of time lag in producing them.

Classification of Data
The process of arranging the data in groups orclasses according to their commoncharacteristics is technically known asclassification.
Or"Classification is the process of arranging data
into sequences and groups according to theircommon characteristics or separating them into
different but related parts. It is the first step in tabulation.
Classification is the grouping of related facts intoclasses.

Classification of Data
Why Classification of Data isimportant??
Raw Data are so voluminous and huge.
After collection of data next step is toorganize, so as to present it in a
manner to highlight the importantcharacteristics of the data.

Functions of Classification
It Condenses the data: Present thehuge raw data into condensed form, Highlightthe significant features contained in the data.
It facilitates comparisons.
It helps to study relationship.
It facilitates the statistical treatment of the
data: Makes the more useful, intelligible.

Bases of Classification
There are four important bases ofclassification:
(1) Qualitative Base
(2) Quantitative Base
(3)Geographical Base
(4) Chronological or Temporal Base
Prepared By: Kapil Verma51

(1) Qualitative Base:When the data are classified
according to some quality or attributes
such as sex, religion, literacy,intelligence etc
(2) Quantitative Base:When the data are classified by
quantitative characteristics likeheights, weights, ages, income etc
Prepared By: Kapil Verma52

(3) Geographical Base:When the data are classified by
geographical regions or location, like

(4) Chronological or TemporalBase:
When the data are classified orarranged by their time of occurrence,
such as years, months, weeks, daysPrepared By: Kapil Verma53

Types of Classification:
(1) One -way Classification:If we classify observed data keeping in
view single characteristic, this type ofclassification is known as one-way classification.
For Example: The population of world may beclassified by religion as Muslim, Christians etc
(2) Two -way Classification:If we consider two characteristics at a
time in order to classify the observed data thenwe are doing two way classifications.For Example: The population of world may beclassified by Religion and Sex.

Types of Classification:
(3) Multi -way Classification:We may consider more than
two characteristics at a time to classify
given data or observed data. In thisway we deal in multi-wayclassification.
For Example: The population of worldmay be classified by Religion, Sexand Literacy.

Tabulation of data
It is cumbersome to study or interpretlarge data without grouping it, even ifit is arranged sequentially. For this,
the data are usually organized intogroups called classes and presentedin a table which gives the frequencyin each group. Such a frequency
table gives a better overall view of thedistribution of data and enables aperson to rapidly comprehendimportant characteristics of the data

Histogram
The histogram is a graph that displays the data by usingvertical bars of various heights to represent the frequencies.
In statistics, a histogram is a graphical representationshowing a visual impression of the distribution of data. It is anestimate of the probability distribution of a continuousvariable and was first introduced by Karl Pearson. Ahistogram consists of tabular frequencies, shown asadjacent rectangles, erected over discrete intervals (bins),with an area equal to the frequency of the observations in the
interval.

The arithmetic mean is relevant any time several quantities addtogether to produce a total. The arithmetic mean answers the
question, "if all the quantities had the same value, what would thatvalue have to be in order to achieve the same total?
In the same way, the geometric mean is relevant any time severalquantities multiply together to produce a product. The geometric meananswers the question, "if all the quantities had the same value, what
would that value have to be in order to achieve the same product?" For example, suppose you have an investment which earns 10% the
first year, 50% the second year, and 30% the third year. What is itsaverage rate of return? It is not the arithmetic mean, because whatthese numbers mean is that on the first year your investment
was multiplied (not added to) by 1.10, on the second year it wasmultiplied by 1.60, and the third year it was multiplied by 1.20. Therelevant quantity is the geometric mean of these three numbers.
