...the number of observations in the data set that fall into a particular class. The class relative frequency is the class frequency divided by the total number of observations in the data set; that is, class relative frequency = (class frequency) / n. The class percentage is the class relative frequency multiplied by 100; that is, class percentage = (class relative frequency) x 100. Summary of Graphical Descriptive Methods for Qualitative Data Bar Graph: The categories (classes) of the qualitative variable are represented by bars, where the height of each bar is either the class frequency, the class relative frequency, or the class percentage. Pie Chart: The categories (classes) of the qualitative variable are represented by slices of a pie (circle). The size of each slice is proportional to the class relative frequency. Pareto Diagram: A bar graph with the categories (classes) of the qualitative variable (i.e. the bars) arranged by height in descending order from left to right. Summary of Graphical Descriptive Methods for Quantitative Data Dot Plot: The numerical value of each quantitative measurement in the data set is represented by a dot on a horizontal scale. When data values repeat, the dots are placed above one another vertically. Stem-and-Leaf Display: The numerical value of the quantitative variable is partitioned into a “stem” and a “leaf”. The possible stems are listed in order in a column. The leaf for each quantitative measurement in the data set is placed...

...Statistic- is a number computed from a sample of data. It is characteristic of a sample. A summary measure that is computed from a sample to describe a characteristic. (Numerical summary of the population) (Ex. The proportion of females randomly selected from the registered voters of a county or the average time it takes for the first 5 students to complete an exam) Parameter- A characteristic (numerical summary) of the entire population. A number computed from the entire population usually unobservable. Subject- the entities that we measure in a study. Population- the collection of all subjects under study. Proportion- of the observations that fall in a certain category is the frequency (count) of observations in that category divided by the total number of observations. Proportion and percentages (aka relative frequencies) Probability- the chance that an even will occur. Sample- a subset of the population. Random Samples are most valid. Design- Plan for how the data will be collected. Two events are dependent if the outcome or occurrence of the first affects the outcome or occurrence of the second so that the probability is changed. Sample Space- set of all possible outcomes for a random phenomenon Variables (COLUMNS)- characteristics or measurements on the subject. Event-subset of the sample space Description- summarizing the data that are obtained. Descriptive Statistics- methods for summarizing the data. Usually consists of bar graphs and...

...© Orangetree Business Solutions Private Limited, 2012 No part of this book should be referenced or copied without the prior permission of the company. A FEW WORDS TO THE STUDENTS Analytics is becoming a popular tool for managerial decision making. It‘s still not so widespread in countries like India, but in the west it has become a standard practice. Previously studying analytics involved an in depth knowledge of statistics and programming languages. But widespread availability of statistical package software has changed the reality to some extent. Now more emphasis is given on the application of the techniques to solve the business problems. So there is a need to understand the meaning of the statistical procedures. This book has been written to cater that need. In this book, all the necessary concepts have been explained keeping the business problem in mind. Also, to remove the apathy for statistics, use of mathematical expressions have been limited. That doesn‘t imply that we don‘t have to study the mathematics part. The intention is to put the substance over matter. As the students get accustomed to these statistical concepts, they can go for further investigations using various mathematical and statistical techniques. A list of suggested books and links have been given in the appendix. This book is directly related to the instructor‘s presentation. So it is highly advised that students should go through this material at the end of each class. As for general ...

...Dear nutrition student, Thank you for inquiring about my RD/DTR study guide. And yes, there is no catch, the study guide is COMPLETELY FREE! All I ask for is some feedback. So feel free to shoot me any questions/comments! A little background: This study guide is the culmination of years of my own research. And after careful thought, I put into the study guide what I feel are the most important concepts you need to know for the RD/DTR exam. If you notice, I spent much time teaching you in detail the concepts you need to know, not just “spitting” you questions with little or no explanation. I believe this is important. I know you might be thinking “oh, how am I going to absorb and learn all this material?” I say, just read and answer the questions at your own pace. Simply test yourself and of course take some breaks along the way. Just take it one concept at a time. After you have mastered one concept, then move on to the next. I know if you study whole-heartedly what I have outlined in this study guide, you are sure to pass! GOOD LUCK! YOU CAN DO IT! ϑ Your nutrition friend, -Jonathan Brown, B.S, DTR THE “NO FLUFF” RD/DTR STUDY GUIDE *Updated as of July 2011 The “NO FLUFF” RD/DTR STUDY GUIDE Tips for taking the RD/DTR exam 1.

Are the figures designated as fixed or variable? 3. Is the budget for a defined unit of authority? 4. Are the line items within the budget all expenses (and revenues, if applicable) that are controllable by the manager? 5. Is the format of the budget comparable with that of previous periods so that several reports over time can be compared if so desired? 6. Are actual and budget for the same period? 7. Are the figures annualized? 8. Test one line-item calculation. Is the math for the dollar difference computed correctly? Is the percentage properly computed based on a percentage of the budget figure? 333 334 APPENDIX A Checklists Checklist A-2 Building a Budget 1. What is the proposed volume for the new budget period? 2. What is the appropriate inflow (revenues) and outflow (cost of services delivered) relationship? 3. What will the appropriate dollar cost be?
