...Statistics as a discipline is the development and application of methods, and a collection of mathematical techniques that help to collect, analyze, interpret, and present data. Modern statistical methods involve associated tasks such as the designing and analyzing of experiments and surveys, the quantification of biological, social and scientific phenomenon and the application of statistical principles to understand more about the world around us. Statistics can also imply a second meaning, which is the computed quantity with the help of statistical methods. Thus, it could be said that the main statistics of a particular study are the median age and income of the group. Thus statistics can imply a statistical parameter as well. Statistics can be applied to various different problems and situations but the underlying concepts all remain the same. It can also be broadly classified into descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The ideas of presenting data and drawing relevant inferences are central to the successful use of statistical theory. In the end, the statistical analysis should be able to tell us something concrete about the sample that we are studying. A number of errors are possible in the interpretation of statistical results and a careful analysis needs to be made to prevent these errors. Basically, statistics is applicable in a variety of fields, and business is not exclusive. Decision making in business is a complex thing. It is not something like “I...

...the term "applied mathematics" is used in a broader sense. It includes the classical areas noted above as well as other areas that have become increasingly important in applications. Even fields such as number theory that are part of pure mathematics are now important in applications (such as cryptography), though they are not generally considered to be part of the field of applied mathematics per se. Sometimes, the term "applicable mathematics" is used to distinguish between the traditional applied mathematics that developed alongside physics and the many areas of mathematics that are applicable to real-world problems today. There is no consensus as to what the various branches of applied mathematics are. Such categorizations are made difficult by the way mathematics and science change over time, and also by the way universities organize departments, courses, and degrees. Many mathematicians distinguish between "applied mathematics," which is concerned with mathematical methods, and the "applications of mathematics" within science and engineering. A biologist using a population model and applying known mathematics would not be doingapplied mathematics, but rather using it; however, mathematical biologists have posed problems that have stimulated the growth of pure mathematics. Mathematicians such as Poincaré and Arnold deny the existence of "applied mathematics" and claim that there are only "applications of mathematics." Similarly, non-mathematicians blend applied mathematics...

In singular sense it may be defined as the various methods and techniques for attaining and analyzing the numerical information. Different economists have different view about statistics. According to Boddingtons Statistics is, “the science of estimates and probabilities”. The techniques and method means the collection of data, organization, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data: Plural sense a plural sense, statistics means the aggregates of numerical facts collected systematically. The most popular and acceptable definition is given by Horace and Secrist. According to them, “Statistics means the aggregate of face affected to a market extent by multiplicity of course, numerically expressed, enumerated or estimated according to reasonable standard of accuracy collected in a systematic manner for pre-determined purpose and placed in relation to each other.” Definitions by A.L.

...Statistics in Business QNT/351 Aug 21, 2013 Edward Balian Statistics Investopedia defines statistics as a type of mathematical analysis involving the use of quantified representations, models and summaries for a given set of empirical data or real world observations. Statistical analysis involves the process of collecting and analyzing data and then summarizing the data into a numerical form. ("Investopedia", 2013) Types and Levels Descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, ratio-level data, interval- level data, ordinal-level data, and nominal-level date are some types and levels of statistics. Descriptive statistics utilizes numerical and graphical methods to look for patterns in a data set, to summarize the information revealed in a data set, and to present the information in a convenient form. Inferential statistics utilizes sample data to make estimates, decisions, predictions, or other generalizations about a larger set of data. Business decision making When it comes to the role of statistics in business decision-making it is applied in many ways in terms of consumer preferences or even financial trends. For example, managers across any type of business formulate problems, they decide on a question relating to the problem and then form a statistical formulation of the question is used to determine answers to all of the above. An example of a business question may be how many calls are answered...

...What I’ve Learned about Statistics Statistics is all around us that, in fact, it would be difficult to go through the day without being flooded with some sort of statistics or statistical information. It is so commonly used in everyday conversations – be it regarding customer surveys, weather forecasts, political polls, or sports statistics – that we find it difficult to differentiate flawed from actual valid claims. So many times we hear “9 out of 10 says…” or “99 percent of the people” that statistics has been labeled as the science of stating precisely what we do not really know. In this paper, I will break down what statistics actually is and its daily application in our lives, business and personal. Statistics and Its Importance Statistics is more than just a complex branch of mathematics. It is the collection, classification, analysis, and interpretation of numerical facts from data (Dunn & Fahey, 2005) that businesses use to evaluate trends and make estimates or forecasts critical to its success and/or failure. When done correctly, the use of historical data or trends can help make future business decisions leading to the success of your organization (Carden, 2013). In economics, for instance, relationships between supply and demand are found using statistical information. In this paper, I will use the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFOQT) cadet life cycle information to explain some of the basic facets of statistics. Types of Statistical Data ...

It includes classifying, collecting, organizing, summarizing, interpreting numerical information, and analyzing (Chapter 1). The different types, and levels of statistics.The use of graphical, and numerical systematic way to find a perceptual structure in data, to sum up the collection of facts discovered in data, and to deliver the collection of facts in accessible sorts is Descriptive statistics. Statistical Descriptive problems are sample of interest, and the grouping, variety of logical expressions that are researched, graphs, Tables, numerical summary tools, and the individuality of systematic way in data. Also there are statistics that are Inferential that uses data to come up with, decide, predict, or other ideas about data. The five conditions of inferential statistical problems: The collection of one or more facts(the character of the grouping units) that can be examined, the collection of units, the inferential about the collection based on data controlled in the sample, and the measurement of responsibility for the inferential system. When it comes to the role of statistics in business decision making it is applied in many ways in terms of consumer preferences or even financial trends. For example...

...Statistics in Business Statistics is a mathematical science pertaining to the collection, analysis, interpretation or explanation, and presentation of data. It also provides tools for prediction and forecasting based on data. It is applicable to a wide variety of academic disciplines, from the natural and social sciences to the humanities, government and business ("Statanalysis Consulting", 2013). Statistics is used in decision making that affects our everyday lives. The study of statistics is divided into two categories and has four levels of measurements. The two types of statistics are descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics is the organizing, presenting, and analyzing of data in an informative way. Inferential statistics is the methods used to estimate a property of a population on the basis of a sample. The four levels of measurements in statistics are nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. The first scale is nominal. The nominal level of measurement is the lowest level. Nominal data deals with names, categories, or labels. The next level is called the ordinal level of measurement. Data at this level can be ordered, but no differences between the data can be taken that are meaningful. The interval level of measurement deals with data that can be ordered, and in which differences between the data does make sense. The fourth and highest level of measurement is the ratio level. Data at the ratio level possess all of the features of the...

The application of statistics is a systematic procedure of collecting, classifying, summarizing, organizing, analyzing, and communicating numerical information's (Lind, Marchal, & Wathen, 2011). There are two categories of statistics; descriptive and inferential statistics. The identity of descriptive statistics is a certain method of organization, summarizing, and presenting data in an informative way (Lind, Marchal, & Wathen, 2011). The identity of inferential statistics is classified as a method implemented to estimate a property of a certain population on basis of a sample (Lind, Marchal, & Wathen, 2011). There are four type and levels of statistics in the business and industry. The four types and levels of statistics are classified as (level 1) nominal-data is classified information. Ordinal-data (level 2) is date of rank of information. Interval-data ( level 3) is the difference in value. Ratio-data (level 4) is meaningful 0 points and ratio between values ("Data Levels Of Measurement", 2015). The role that statistics play in the business world is describe as a insightful communication tool to resolve key issues in modern-day business, through decision-making (Hahn, 2015).

Statistics chief emphasis is generally dispensing the groundwork of the information gathering in the development of crafting the evaluations and trials. While using statistics, one must know that there are two key forms of fact findings, these findings are referred to as inferential and descriptive statistics. A descriptive statistical objective is to summarize information arrangements, in place of using information received from a specified people set. Inferential statistics refer to unlike classifications of methodology that depict inferences from ascending datasets exaggerated by unplanned variants. Methods of Statistics Various methods of statistics exist at present; experimental method, observational study and level of measurement. The experimental method uses numerous diverse processes which include research planning, experiment design, conducting experiments, extended investigation of the findings, and recording the conclusion. Observational study surveys the relationship concerning cell phones and brain cancer. The level of measurement has four stages; interval measurement, nominal, ordinal, and ratio.
