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.


3

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


4

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)


5

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.


6

• 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


11

• Weighted Arithmetic Mean is specially useful in problems relating to

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


12

• Weighted Arithmetic Mean is given by

∑∑=

WX.W


13

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

( ) 0=−∑ XX

( ) 02

≤−∑ XX


14

• 3.The formula of Arithmetic

mean can be extended to

compute the combined average

of two or more related series


15

• 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 .


16

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


17

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

Where M= Median; L=Lower limit of the Median Class,m=Cumulative frequency above median class f=Frequency of the median class N=Sum of frequencies


22

Merits of Median

• 1.Median is not affected by extreme values .

• 2.It is more suitable average for dealing with qualitative data ie.where ranks are given.

• 3.It can be determined by graphically.


23

Limitations of Median

1.It is not based all the items of the series .

2.It is not capable of algebraic treatment .Its formula can not be extended to calculate combined median of two or more related groups.


24

Mode

• A measure of central tendency • Value that occurs most often • Not affected by extreme values • Used for either numerical or

categorical data • There may be no mode or

several modes 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14

Mode = 9

25

• 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.

27

Relationship between Mean, Median and Mode

• The distance between Mean and Median is about one third of distance between the mean and the mode.


28

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


29

Limitations of Mode

• 1.In case of bimodal /multi modal series ,mode cannot be determined.

• 2.It is not capable for further algebraic treatment, combined mode of two or more series cannot be determined.

Measures of Dispersion


41

Why Study Dispersion?

• An average, such as the mean or the median only locates the centre of the data.

• An average does not tell us anything about the spread of the data.


42

Properties of Good Measure of Dispersion

• Simple to understand and easy to calculate

• Rigidly defined • Based on all items • A meanable to algebraic

treatment • Sampling stability • Not unduly affected by Extreme

items.

45

The Range

• The simplest measure of dispersion is the range.

• For ungrouped data, the range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of data.


46

• RANGE = Highest Value - Lowest Value

48

Interquartile Range

• The interquartile range is used to overcome the problem of outlying observations.

• The interquartile range measures the range of the middle (50%) values only


49

• Inter quartile range = Q3 – Q1 • It is sometimes referred to as

the quartile deviation or the semi-inter quartile range.

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.


128

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


129

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


130

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.


131

• 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.


132

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.


133

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.


134

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


135

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.


136

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.


137

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.


138

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.


139

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.


140

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.


141

TEST STATISTIC

Test-Statistic Used for i) Z-test

ii) t-test

For test of Hypothesis involving large sample i.e. n> 30 Hypothesis involving small sample i.e. n≤ 30 and if SD is unknown.

147

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.


148

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.

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

TEST OF SIGNIFICANCE OF LARGE SAMPLES

• A sample is regarded as large only if its size exceeds 30.

• The following assumptions are made while dealing with problems relating to large samples:

• The random sampling distribution of a statistic is approximately normal and Values given by the samples are approximately close to the population value.
