An Introduction to Statistics

A similar process can be used when dealing with sample means. If a suYcient number of samples have been taken, and their means plotted, then they begin to take up a normal distribution. It can be shown mathematically that the mean of this distribution (μx) is the same as the population mean (μ). Furthermore, the standard deviation of the distribution is equal to ó/'n, where n is the number of c...

Misinterpretation of Statistics – An Introduction

Some of the basic tenets of statistics are often misunderstood and in some cases, deliberately misused to lend weight to false assertions; the author seeks to rectify this with a review of some commonly used techniques and the misconceptions that are often applied to them. Examples include correlation versus causality; incidence with respect to prevalence; an interesting paradox surrounding the...

Statistics for dental researchers; part 1: Introduction

Learning statistics is a necessity for dental researchers. Due to daily dental science expansion, dental researchers have to study new papers in recent dental journals to remain up to date. On the other hand, knowing principles of statistics helps better understanding of the articles. Some authors revealed that knowledge of dentists about basic topics of statistics was poor. Therefore, in this ...
