Study guideline: Basics of Biostatistics

1. Define Statistics. Differentiate between population and


sample with example.
2(a). Define variable and discuss various types of variable.
Briefly discuss about measurement scale.
2 (b). Write down the type (categorical/discrete/continuous) and
scale of the following variables: height, weight, religion,
eye color, temperature, education (in years), family size,
income, BMI, blood glucose level, serum creatinine level.
3 (a). What is the various method of data presentation? Why do
we need to summarize the data? Write down the advantage
of graphical technique.
3(b). Describe the presentation of bar and line diagram.
3(b). Whhe
4. What do you mean by percentile? Briefly discuss various
steps of constructing the Box-Whisker plot. For the
following data construct the Box-whisker plot and interpret
the result.
BMI: 18, 19, 22, 21, 28, 32, 26, 30.
5. What do you mean by central tendency? Discuss any two
measures of central tendency.
6. Define dispersion and what are the various measures of
dispersion? Briefly discuss about standard deviation and
coefficient of variation.
7. What is probability? Define with example: Trial, event,
mutually exclusive events, mutually non-exclusive events,
independence and dependence of events with example
8. Write down the properties of probability. State the
additional and multiplication laws of probability.
9. Define normal distribution. State important properties and
uses of normal distribution
10. Suppose the blood glucose level of adult male population
follows a pattern of normal distribution with mean 8.5
mmol/lit with standard deviation 2.5 mmol/lit after meal.
Construct the region of normal distribution curve showing
the blood glucose level and interpret the result.
Hints: First draw normal distribution curve.
Calculate : ̅ so on. And draw the region like
68%, 95% and 99%.
11. What do you understand by test of significance? State
various steps of test of significance. Explain the situation
to conduct z-test and t-test?
12. Briefly discuss about chi-square test.

Please note that, theory part may contain interpretation of


graph/table/statistics (e.g. bar, line, %, cumulative %,...etc.),
which you must need to answer.
Practical

1. Suppose you have data of 10 families regarding their daily protein


intake in grams: 25, 35, 40, 28, 42, 55, 45, 60, 60, 35, 75, and 30.
(a) Construct a frequency table (based on grouped data).
Calculate percentage, cumulative percentage and interpret the
results.
(b) Construct proportionate bar diagram for variable protein
intake.
(c) Calculate mean, standard deviation (grouped data) and
interpret the results.
2. Suppose, OPD attendance by disease at a selected hospital is as
follows:
Disease No. of Patients
Diabetes 50
Heart disease 40
Both 20
Total 110
If a person is drawn at random, what is the probability the person will
have (i) Diabetes (ii) Heart disease (iii) Both diseases.
3. Lecture “probability distribution: slide no.7 maths”
4. A pharmaceutical company claimed that the mean
effectiveness time of their newly invented drug is less than
30 minutes. Suppose, you take a sample of 100 drugs and
found that mean effectiveness time is 34 minutes with
standard deviation 3 minutes. Does the data support their
claim? (Hints: Perform Z-test, level of significance=5%,
Ztabulated= 1.64).
5. A random sample of 200 under 1 children showed 100 vaccinated
and 100 unvaccinated. Of the vaccinated 10 and of the
unvaccinated 26 developed measles. Use chi-square test to show if
vaccination status and development of measles are related? (level
of significance=5%, ( 0.5, 1 df =3.84)
