Overview Of Chapter 1
What is Statistics? Areas of statistics Why Study Statistics? Road Map of the Reasons for Learning Statistical Thinking

What is Statistics?
Many meanings
Used as a synonym for numerical information
Grades on students exams, Diameter of a ball bearing, Amount of reactant in a chemical experiment

Used as a body of knowledge that enables one to do the following:


Draw useful conclusions from numerical information Make decisions in a rational way Predict and control events Increase quality and productivity

Areas of Statistics
Descriptive Statistics
Methods dealing with conclusion, tabulation, summarization, and presentation of data

Inferential Statistics
Methods that permit one to reach conclusions and make estimates about populations based upon information from a sample

Why Study Statistics?


Engineers are constantly dealing with numerical information that needs to be analyzed Among the reasons:
To present and describe numerical information To draw conclusions about large populations from sample information To improve processes and enhance quality To design experiments To obtain reliable forecasts

Road Map of the Reasons for Learning


Presenting and describing information Drawing conclusions about populations based on only sample information
Discrete random variables and probability distributions Chapter 3 Continuous random variables and probability distributions Chapter 4 Nonparametric Statistics Chapter 15

Process improvements

Design of Experiments

Obtaining of reliable forecasts

Random sampling and data description Chapter 6

Probability Chapter 2

Statistical quality control Chapter 16

Sample linear regression and correlation Chapter 11

Point estimation of parameters Chapter 7

Statistical Intervals for a single sample Chapter 8

Test of hypotheses for a single sample Chapter 9

Test of hypotheses for two samples Chapter 10

Design and analysis of single-factor experiments Chapter 13

Design of experiments with several factors Chapter 14

Statistical Thinking: Understanding


and Managing Variability
No two things are exactly the same Variability is inherent in all things Ability to identify, quantify, reduce, and control the kinds of variability that affect quality Variability is not inherently undesirable
