Def:Measures of Central Tendency
• A single expression representing the whole group,is selected which may convey a fairly adequate idea about the whole group.
• This single expression is
known as average.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics

Types of Measures central tendency:
There are five types ,namely 1.Arithmetic Mean (A.M) 2.Median 3.Mode 4.Geometric Mean (G.M) 5.Harmonic Mean (H.M)
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
5
Arithmetic Mean (A.M)
The most commonly used measure of central tendency. When people ask about the “average" of a group of scores, they usually are referring to the mean.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics

Weighted Arithmetic Mean
• The term ‘ weight’ stands for the relative importance of the different items of the series. Weighted Arithmetic Mean refers to the Arithmetic Mean calculated after assigning weights to different values of variable. It is suitable where the relative importance of different items of variable is not same
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics

• 3.The formula of Arithmetic
mean can be extended to
compute the combined average
of two or more related series
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
15
• 4.If each of the values of a
variable ‘X’ is increased or decreased by some constant C, the arithmetic mean also increased or decreased by C .
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
16
• Similarly When the value of the variable ‘X’ are multiplied by constant say k,arithmetic mean also multiplied the same quantity k .
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
17
• When the values of variable are divided by a constant say ‘d’ ,the arithmetic mean also divided by same quantity

standard deviation of sampling distribution of that statistic. In other words, standard error of a given 'statistic is the standard deviation of all possible values of that statistic in repeated sample of a fixed size from given populatiot.It is a measurer of the divergence between‘ the‘ statistic and parameter values. This divergence varies with the sample size (n).

1.Problem of Estimation
• This problem arises when no information is available about the parameters of the population from which the sample is drawn. Statistics obtained from the sample are used to estimate the unknown parameter of the population from which the sample is drawn.

128
MEANING OF ESTIMATION
• In the context of statistics, an estimation is a statistical technique of estimating unknown population parameters from the corresponding sample statistic. Two ways - A population parameter ,can be estimated in two ways:
• 1. Point Estimation, and • 2. Interval Estimation
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
129
POINT ESTIMATION
• It provides a single value of a statistic that is used to estimate an unknown population parameter.
• Estimator -The statistic which is used to obtain a point estimate is called estimator.
• Criteria for a Good Estimator - According to R A: Fisher, the criteria for good estimator are:
• (a) Unbiased ness, (b) Consistency, (c) Efficiency and (d) Sufficiency
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
130
INTERVAL ESTIMATION
• Provides an interval of finite width centered ,if the point estimate of the parameter, within which unknown parameter is expected to lie with a specified probability. Such an interval is called a confidence interval for population parameter.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
131
• Confidence Limits - The lower and upper limits of the confidence interval are called confidence limits.
• Confidence Coefficient – The probability with which the confidence interval will include the true value of the parameter.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
132
Calculation of Confidence 'Limits
• The calculation of confidence limits is based on the appropriate statistic. If the population is normal or the sample size (n) is large (say more than 30), percentage of area Under the standard normal curve maybe used to find confidence limits) corresponding to any specified percentage of confidence.

133
Why hypothesis is used?
• Hypothesis Testing is a process of making a decision on whether to accept or reject an assumption about the population parameter on the basis of sample information at a given level of significance.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
134
NULL HYPOTHESIS (Ho)
• Null hypothesis is the assumption which we wish to test and whose validity is tested for possible rejection on the basis of sample information.
• It asserts that there is no significant difference between the sample statistic
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
135
NULL HYPOTHESIS (Ho)
• Acceptance - The acceptance of null hypothesis implies that we have no evidence to believe otherwise and indicates that the difference is not significant and is due to sampling fluctuations.
• Rejection - The rejection of null hypothesis implies that it is false and indicates that the difference is significant.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
136
ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS(H1)
• Alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis which differs from the null hypothesis. It is not tested
• Rejection of one implies the acceptance of the other.
• Symbol - It is denoted by H1 • Acceptance - Its depends on the rejection of
the null hypothesis. Rejection - Its rejection depends on the acceptance of the null hypothesis.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
137
Example for ALTERNATIVE HYPOTHESIS(H1)
• If population mean is 50, an alternative hypothesis may be anyone of the following three:
H1 : µ ≠50,H1 : µ > 50,H1: µ < 50 • Ho and HI are mutually exclusive
statements in the sense that both cannot hold good simultaneously.
• Rejection of one implies the acceptance of the other.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
138
LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE(α )
• Level of significance is the maximum probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true.
• Symbol - It is usually expressed as % and is denoted by symbol α (called 'Alpha ')
• Usefulness - It is used as a guide in decision-making. It is used to indicate the upper limit of the size of the critical rejection.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
139
Example of LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE(α )
• At 5% level of significance implies that there are about 5 chances in 100 of rejecting the Ho when it is true or in other words, we are about 95% confident that we will make a correct decision.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
140
Usefulness
• It is used as a guide in decision making regarding acceptance or rejection of Ho' If the value of the test statistic falls in the critical region, the null hypothesis is rejected. If the value of the test statistic does not fall in the critical region, the null hypothesis is accepted.

Type I and Type II Errors
• The decision to accept or reject null hypothesis Ho is made on the basis of the information supplied by the sample data. There is always a chance of committing an error. There are two possible types of error in the test of a hypothesis.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics
148
Type I and Type II Errors • Type I Error - This is the error committed by
the test in rejecting a true null hypothesis. The probability of committing Type I Error is denoted by α , the level of significance. .
• Type II Error - This is the error committed by the test in accepting a false null hypothesis. The probability of committing Type II Error is denoted by β.
Quantitative Aptituide & Business Statistics: Revision Of All Toics

TEST OF SIGNIFICANCE OF LARGE SAMPLES
• A sample is regarded as large only if its size exceeds 30.
• The following assumptions are made while dealing with problems relating to large samples:
• The random sampling distribution of a statistic is approximately normal and Values given by the samples are approximately close to the population value.
