About the Book
Basic Statistics is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental concepts and techniques of statistics, designed for undergraduate students. Written by V.P. Manglik and A.K. Shukla, the book draws on several decades of teaching experience from G.B. Pant University, Pantnagar, and Elizabeth City State University, North Carolina. It serves as a valuable resource for students pursuing programs in various disciplines, with a particular emphasis on applications in agricultural sciences.
The book is structured across fourteen chapters, beginning with an introduction to statistics and its applications in different fields. Early chapters focus on data collection, classification, and representation, with a detailed discussion on diagrammatic and graphical representation methods. The middle chapters explore numerical characterization of data, including measures of central tendency, location, dispersion, skewness, and kurtosis, with additional coverage on less popular measures such as trimmed mean and geometric means.
Subsequent chapters introduce exploratory data analysis techniques like boxplots and stem-leaf plots and provide insights into bivariate and multivariate data analysis, including linear correlation and regression. Chapters on probability distributions (binomial, Poisson, normal) and statistical inference (estimation, hypothesis testing) equip readers with practical tools for analyzing data.
The final chapters focus on data collection methods through experiments and sample surveys, emphasizing practical applications and drawing meaningful conclusions. Although the examples are mostly from agricultural sciences, the techniques discussed are applicable across various disciplines, including behavioral and physical sciences.
