Statistical Application in FRSC Operations
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 and planning:
Statistics is indispensable in
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.
•
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 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- FITRI, EID- EL- KABIR,
DEMOCRACY DAY, INDEPENDENCE DAY and CHRISTMAS.
The Corps prepare extensively for these marked occasions to
forestall and checkmate the mindless crashes often recorded
during these celebrations.
THE ROLE OF STATISTICS IN FRSC OPS contd.
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.
Thank you for listening.
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.
