Exploring Statistical Application in FRSC Operations
In the study of central tendency and variability measures, bivariate data comes into play when relating pairs of measurements involving two variables. This lecture delves into the coefficient of correlation, which quantifies relationships between random variables. The aim is to familiarize participants with statistical applications in FRSC operations, covering topics like statistics definition, correlation coefficients, and the role of statistics in this field.

STATISTICAL APPLICATION IN FRSC OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION In the study of the measures of the central tendency and the measures of variability, it is observed that a single variable in the form of a frequency distribution is involved. There are however, occasions in which one would like to relate pairs of measurements taken on two variables involving each member of a group. The two sets of data to be related are called bivariate data. The degree of correlation between bivariate data is called the coefficient of correlation (usually represented by letter r).
INTRO CONTD A correlation coefficient is a coefficient that illustrates a quantitative measure of some type of correlation and dependence, meaning statistical relationships between two or more random variables or observed data values. It is in the light of this, that this lecture seeks explore Statistical Application in FRSC Operations.
AIM The aim of this lecture is to expose participants to measures of Statistical Application in FRSC Operations.
OBJECTIVES At the end of this lecture, participants should be able to; Definition of Statistics Explain at least three Importance of statistics List and explain at least four types of coefficient of correlation Discuss the role of statistics in FRSC Operations.
DEFINITION OF STATISTICS 1. Statistics can be defined as the collection, presentation and interpretation of numerical data.- Croxton and Crowed. 2. Statistics are numerical statement of facts in any department of enquiry placed interrelation to each other.- Bouly. 3. Statistics are measurement, enumerations or estimates of natural or social phenomena systematically arrangeD to exhibit their inner relation.- Conner. 4. By Statistics we mean quantitative data affected to a marked extend by a multiplicity of causes. Youle and Kendal. 5. The science of Statistics is essentially a branch of applied mathematics and can be regarded as a mathematics applied to observation data.- R.A fisher.
SCOPE AND IMPORTANCE OF STATISTICS: Statistics planning in the modern age which is termed as the age of planning . Almost all over the world the govt. are restoring to planning for economic development. and planning: Statistics is indispensable in Statistics and economics: Statistical data and techniques of statistical analysis are immensely useful in solving economical problem. Such as wages, price, time series analysis, demand analysis.
SCOPE AND IMPORTANCE OF STATISTICS contd. Statistics and business: Statistics is an indispensible tool of production control. Business executive are relying more and more on statistical techniques for studying the much and desire of the valued customers. Statistics and industry: In industry statistics is widely used for quality control.
THE ROLE OF STATISTICS IN FRSC OPS The CORPS is the lead agency in Nigeria for road traffic management and safety administration. In pursuit of its mandate the Corps carries out a host of activities including, PE, Patrol, rescue services, production of vehicle number plates, national drivers license, DSSP, RTSS and others.
THE ROLE OF STATISTICS IN FRSC OPS contd. The Corps generates data from these and activities such as RTC as well as road traffic counts and subjects these data to rigorous analysis for intelligence and decision making. The analysis of the statistics available to the Corps has made it an evidenced based organization with a tremendous international support and willing collaboration with local and international agencies and government
THE ROLE OF STATISTICS IN FRSC OPS contd. The very many policies formulated by FRSC management are informed by the analysis of data from the various departments and Corps Offices. Operational interventions such as EAGLE EYE, OPERATION ZERO and recently OPERATION SCORPION, are all derivatives of decision based on analyzed data. The establishments of more unit commands, establishment of more DLC work stations, the recruitment of more officers and marshals recently into the Corps are all informed by statistics available to it.
THE ROLE OF STATISTICS IN FRSC OPS contd. The collation of past and current statistics informed the decision of the FRSC management to bench mark some observed holidays and national celebrations such as NEW YEAR, VALENTINE DAY, EASTER HOLIDAY, EID-EL- DEMOCRACY DAY, INDEPENDENCE DAY and CHRISTMAS. FITRI, EID- EL- KABIR, The Corps prepare extensively for these marked occasions to forestall and checkmate the mindless crashes often recorded during these celebrations.
CONCLUSION Having known the importance of statistics to the CORPS, it is expected that the data officers at every level of command will bring on board the best practices in data collection and report rendition. The following fair guide should be followed: Document all data as they occur, update records punctually and regularly Use only approved and updated templates in gathering and rending reports Ensure accuracy, eliminate internal contradictions Submit reports promptly, timeliness should be religiously followed Primary processing of reports is essential Reports from other agencies like the Police should be considered side by side with the Corps to eliminate replication.
