Chapter 1 The Where, Why, and How of Data Collection Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach 6th Edition Chapter 1 The Where, Why, and How of Data Collection Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Chapter Goals After completing this chapter, you should be able to: Describe key data collection methods Know key definitions: Population vs. Sample Primary vs. Secondary data types Qualitative vs. Qualitative data Time Series vs. Cross-Sectional data Explain the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics Describe different sampling methods Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Tools of Business Statistics Descriptive statistics Collecting, presenting, and describing data Inferential statistics Drawing conclusions and/or making decisions concerning a population based only on sample data Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Descriptive Statistics Collect data e.g. Survey, Observation, Experiments Present data e.g. Charts and graphs Characterize data e.g. Sample mean = Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Data Sources Primary Secondary Print or Electronic Observation Survey Data Collection Secondary Data Compilation Print or Electronic Observation Survey Experimentation Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Survey Design Steps Define the issue Define the population of interest what are the purpose and objectives of the survey? Define the population of interest Formulate survey questions make questions clear and unambiguous use universally-accepted definitions limit the number of questions Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Survey Design Steps Pre-test the survey (continued) Pre-test the survey pilot test with a small group of participants assess clarity and length Determine the sample size and sampling method Select Sample and administer the survey Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Types of Questions Closed-end Questions Select from a short list of defined choices Example: Major: __business __liberal arts __science __other Open-end Questions Respondents are free to respond with any value, words, or statement Example: What did you like best about this course? Demographic Questions Questions about the respondents’ personal characteristics Example: Gender: __Female __ Male Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Populations and Samples A Population is the set of all items or individuals of interest Examples: All likely voters in the next election All parts produced today All sales receipts for November A Sample is a subset of the population Examples: 1000 voters selected at random for interview A few parts selected for destructive testing Every 100th receipt selected for audit Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Population vs. Sample Population Sample a b c d b c ef gh i jk l m n o p q rs t u v w x y z b c g i n o r u y Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Why Sample? Less time consuming than a census Less costly to administer than a census It is possible to obtain statistical results of a sufficiently high precision based on samples. Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Non-Probability Samples Sampling Techniques Samples Probability Samples Non-Probability Samples Simple Random Systematic Judgement Cluster Convenience Stratified Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Statistical Sampling Items of the sample are chosen based on known or calculable probabilities Probability Samples Simple Random Stratified Systematic Cluster Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Simple Random Samples Every individual or item from the population has an equal chance of being selected Selection may be with replacement or without replacement Samples can be obtained from a table of random numbers or computer random number generators Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Stratified Samples Population divided into subgroups (called strata) according to some common characteristic Simple random sample selected from each subgroup Samples from subgroups are combined into one Population Divided into 4 strata Sample Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Systematic Samples Decide on sample size: n Divide frame of N individuals into groups of k individuals: k=N/n Randomly select one individual from the 1st group Select every kth individual thereafter N = 64 n = 8 k = 8 First Group Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Cluster Samples Population is divided into several “clusters,” each representative of the population A simple random sample of clusters is selected All items in the selected clusters can be used, or items can be chosen from a cluster using another probability sampling technique Population divided into 16 clusters. Randomly selected clusters for sample Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Key Definitions A population is the entire collection of things under consideration A parameter is a summary measure computed to describe a characteristic of the population A sample is a portion of the population selected for analysis A statistic is a summary measure computed to describe a characteristic of the sample Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Inferential Statistics Making statements about a population by examining sample results Sample statistics Population parameters (known) Inference (unknown, but can be estimated from sample evidence) Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Inferential Statistics Drawing conclusions and/or making decisions concerning a population based on sample results. Estimation e.g.: Estimate the population mean weight using the sample mean weight Hypothesis Testing e.g.: Use sample evidence to test the claim that the population mean weight is 120 pounds Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Data Types Examples: Marital Status Political Party Eye Color (Defined categories) Examples: Number of Children Defects per hour (Counted items) Examples: Weight Voltage (Measured characteristics) Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.

Data Types Time Series Data Cross Section Data Ordered data values observed over time Cross Section Data Data values observed at a fixed point in time Business Statistics: A Decision-Making Approach, 6e © 2005 Prentice-Hall, Inc.
