Part I (Chapters 1 – 11) MBA 611 STATISTICS AND QUANTITATIVE METHODS Part I. A. Review of Basic Statistics (Chapters 1-11) Introduction (Chapter 1) Uncertainty: Decisions are often based on incomplete information from uncertain events. We use statistical methods and statistical analysis to make decisions in uncertain environment. Population: Sample: A population is the complete set of all items in which an investigator is interested. A sample is a subset of population values. & Example:

make the study of investment easier and more efficient. If you had a good introductory quantitative methods course, and like the text that was used, you may want to refer to it whenever you feel in need of a refresher. If you feel uncomfortable with standard quantitative texts, this reference is for you. Our aim is to present the essential quantitative concepts and methods in a self-contained, nontechnical, and intuitive way. Our approach is structured in line with requirements for the CFA program.

measured in standard deviation (SD) units (Heiman, 2012). The importance of a z-score is that it enables one to analyze data relative to scores. Z-Scores allow us to determine whether a particular score is equal to the mean, below the mean or above the mean of a bunch of scores, and how far a particular score is away from the mean. Evaluating the scores of Eric’s to determine different z-scores, we use the following computations that he computed where it takes a mean of 17 minutes with a standard deviation
