... A “boxplot”, or “box-and-whiskers plot” is a graphical summary of a distribution; the box in the middle indicates “hinges” (close to the first and third quartiles) and median. The lines (“whiskers”) show the largest or smallest observation that falls within a distance of 1.5 times the box size from ...

... To develop a confidence interval for a proportion, we need to meet the following assumptions. 1. The binomial conditions, discussed in Chapter 6, have been met. Briefly, these conditions are: a. The sample data is the result of counts. b. There are only two possible outcomes. c. The probability of a ...

Misuse of statistics

Statistics are supposed to make something easier to understand but when used in a misleading fashion can trick the casual observer into believing something other than what the data shows. That is, a misuse of statistics occurs when a statistical argument asserts a falsehood. In some cases, the misuse may be accidental. In others, it is purposeful and for the gain of the perpetrator. When the statistical reason involved is false or misapplied, this constitutes a statistical fallacy.The false statistics trap can be quite damaging to the quest for knowledge. For example, in medical science, correcting a falsehood may take decades and cost lives.Misuses can be easy to fall into. Professional scientists, even mathematicians and professional statisticians, can be fooled by even some simple methods, even if they are careful to check everything. Scientists have been known to fool themselves with statistics due to lack of knowledge of probability theory and lack of standardization of their tests.
