STATISTICAL CONCEPTS
Play a very important role in measurement and
evaluation.
Allow us to describe the performance of
our students and make proper scientific
inferences about their performances.
1. The idea of randomness
2. The mean
3. The Standard deviation
4. The Bell Shaped curve
5. The standard normal distribution
The Idea of Randomness
Let P=population
S=sample
Example:
P= {15, 20, 25, 25, 30, 35, 26, 14, 17, 18, 12, 15, 22, 27, 33, 32, 21, 18,
18, 13, 14, 21, 17, 18, 19, 23, 22, 21, 26, 31}
now, the teacher randomly selects fifteen (15)
examination scores for further analysis and obtains:
S= {20, 25, 14, 12, 33, 18, 21, 17, 22, 21, 26, 30,
32, 13, 15}
in symbols:

The Bell Shaped Curve
Z= (x - μ)/σ
Example
T= 50 + 10z.
