Engineering Problem Solving w Develop clear and concise problem description w Identify the important factors in the problem. w Propose a model for the problem w Conduct appropriate experimentation w Refine the model

Engineering Problem Solving w Validate the solution w Conclusion and recommendations

Statistics Science of data collection, summarization, presentation and analysis for better decision making. How to collect data ? How to summarize it ? How to present it ? How do you analyze it and make conclusions and correct decisions ?

Role of Statistics w Many aspects of Engineering deals with data – Product and process design w Identify sources of variability w Essential for decision making

Data Collection w Observational study Observe the system Historical data w The objective is to build a system model usually called empirical models w Design of experiment Plays key role in engineering design

Data Collection w Sources of data collection:  Observation of something you can’t control (observe a system or historical data)  Conduct an experiment  Surveying opinions of people in social problem

Statistics w Divided into : Descriptive Statistics Inferential Statistics

Forms of Data Description w Point summary w Tabular format w Graphical format w Diagrams

Point Summary 1) Central tendency measures Sample Mean x =  x i /n Population Mean(µ) Median --- Middle value Mode --- Most frequent value Percentile

Point Summary 2) Variability measures Range = Max x i - Min x i Variance = V = S 2 =  (x i – x ) 2 / n-1 also = Standard deviation = S S = Square root (V) Coefficient of variation = S/ x Inter-quartile range (IQR)  (x i 2 ) – {[(  x i ) 2 ]/n} n -1

Diagrams: Dot Diagram w A diagram that has on the x-axis the points plotted : Given the following grades of a class: 50, 23, 40, 90, 95, 10, 80, 50, 75, 55, 60,

Graphical Format Time Frequency Plot The Time Frequency Plot tells the following : 1) The Center of Data 2) The Variability 3) The Trends or Shifts in the data Control Chart

Time Frequency Plot

Lower control limit = x = Upper control limit = Control Charts

Central Line = Average ( X ) Lower Control Limit (LCL)= X – 3S Upper Control Limit (UCL)= X + 3S Control Charts

Lecture Objectives w Sample and population w Random sample w Present the following: w Stem-leaf diagram w The frequency distribution w Histogram

Population and Sample w Population is the totality of observations we are concerned with. w Example: All Engineers in the Kingdom, All SE students etc. w Sample : Subset of the population 50 Engineers selected at random, 10 SE students selected at random.

Mean and Variance w Sample mean X-bar w Population mean µ w Sample variance S 2 w Population variance σ 2

Stem-And –Leaf Diagram w Each number x i is divided into two parts the stem consisting of one or two leading digits w The rest of the digits constitute the leaf. w Example if the data is 126 then 12 is stem and 6 is the leaf. What is the stem and leaf for 76

Number of Stems w Between 20 and 5 w Roughly  n where n number of data points

Percentiles w Pth percentile of the data is a value where at least P% of the data takes on this value or less and at least (1-P)% of the data takes on this value or more. w Median is 50 th percentile. ( Q 2 ) w First quartile Q 1 is the 25 th percentile. w Third quartile Q 3 is the 75 th percentile.

Percentile Computation : Example Data : 5, 7, 25, 10, 22, 13, 15, 27, 45, 18, 3, 30 Compute 90 th percentile. 1. Sort the data from smallest to largest 3, 5, 7, 10, 13, 15, 18, 22, 25, 27, 30, Multiply 90/100 x 12 = 10.8 round it to to the next integer which is 11. Therefore the 90 th percentile is point # 11 which is 30.

Percentile Computation : Example w If the product of the percent with the number of the data came out to be a number. Then the percentile is the average of the data point corresponding to this number and the data point corresponding to the next number. w Quartiles computation is similar to the percentiles.

w Pth percentile = (P/ 100)*n = r double (round it up & take its rank) (r) integer (take Avg. of its rank & # after) w Inter-quartile range = Q 3 – Q 1 w Frequency Distribution Table : 1) # class intervals (k) = 5 < k < 20 k ~  n 2) The width of the intervals (W) = Range/k = (Max-Min) /  n
