Standard Deviation, often denoted as σ (sigma) for population data and s for sample data, is a powerful statistical tool with several strengths that make it invaluable in data analysis and decision-making. Let's explore some of its key strengths: a) Measures Data Variability: Standard Devi...

A sample of n = 9 scores has \Sigma X = 108. What is the sample mean? a) Explain descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, and how they differ. b) How are both used in research? c) Give an example of a possible research question that ...
Consistency is rather an important concept in statistics. Every statistic derived with the help of samples to estimate parameters of the whole population must be consistent. Meaning by increasing the sample size, the estimate of those parameters must converge to the true parameter values. ...
What does the mean squared error (MSE) measure? Explain when should a t-table or a z-table be used to solve statistical problems. Discuss briefly two distinct applications where descriptive statistics can be used. Describe how uncertainty is modeled mathematically in statistics. ...
(or “mu”) and ?^2 (or “sigma-squared”, which we’ll ignore for this article). The first, ?, is (or should be) called thecentral parameter: it gives us the point of the data that is the most likely. Obviously, then, higher values of ? correspond to greater likelihoods of la...
We begin with 2007, as the FASB allowed for early adoption of SFAS No.159 (ASC 825) on eligible financial instruments that year, although the effective date of the standard is Jan. 1, 2008, for regular adopters. Footnote 5 In our sample, bank holding companies that elect the FVOL are ...
Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first empirical study to examine the implications of corporate sustainability information for the stock price crash risk during COVID-19. This risk captures the asymmetry in risk—especially the downside risk (Chen, Hong, & Stein, 2001; ...
Descriptive analytics is a basic statistical analysis that summarizes raw data. It includes social engagement counts, sales numbers, customer statistics and other metrics that show what’s happening in your business in an easy-to-understand way. Predictive and prescriptive analytics aren’t as ...
Data analytics underpins many quality control systems in the financial world, including the ever-popularSix Sigmaprogram. It's nearly impossible to optimize something if you aren’t properly measuring it, whether it's your weight or the number of defects per million in a production line. Thesect...
