Sampling error:
Sampling errors are the errors in the sample selection which can lead to incorrect results. Sampling errors are broadly classified as random errors, error to due bias or systematic errors.

Random Error.
All measurements are subject to error, which can often be broken down into two components: a bias or systematic error, which affects all measurements the same way; and a random error, which is in general different each time a measurement is made, and behaves like a number drawn with replacement from a box of numbered tickets whose average is zero.

Systematic error.

(While compiling this book I have made use of royalty free information available on the net. However at many places I have put it in much simpler language to make the concepts easier to understand. Again examples are incorporated. Thus this work is not totally original yet a lot of value addition is gone into the basic input.)

1.4 Common Statistical Terminology

Frequency
Number of times the observation repeats is called as frequency of that observation. In our example frequency of observation 200 is 2 while frequency of other observations is 1 each.

CHAPTER 1
What is Statistics?

1.1 Introduction.

In our day to day life we deal a lot with statistics, maybe without being aware of it. For example, when you tell your graduation marks – You are making use of ‘Averaging’ concept of statistics. When you talk of odds in favor of India’s winning a cricket match – You are dealing with ‘Probability’. When you are talking of most selling product – You speak of ‘Modal Value’. Weather forecast is also based on statistical analysis of weather conditions collected with the help of Satellite.

That there could my eyes

Suffering from some disease

Could not spot your sight!

Faint eyes trying for your sight
