Statistical Errors frequently occurs in various parts; news paper, textbook, advertisement, medical science, economics, business administration, pedagogy, sociology etc.
This study has three primary purposes. First, it attempts to classify the kind statistical errors. Second, it attempts to prevent a repeat statistical errors. Third, it attempts to suggest a efficient method for preventment of stastistical errors.
A check list was used for this study. The check list dealing with a randomization, data description, student's t-test, chi-square test, analysis of variance, regression-analysis, other errors.
The results of this research are summaried as follows:
Sampling randomization has errors of sampling design and randomization in stratum. Frequencies of error are 83 and 6. Data description has errors of measure of data location and dispersion and property of location and dispersity. Frequencies of error are 5 and 5. Student's t-test has errors of normality, equality of variances, independence of observations, paried sample. Frequencies of error in student's t-test are 14, 17, 4 and 2. Chi-square test has null hypothesis, small numbers, independence of observations. Frequency of error are 14, 29 and 4. Analysis of variance has null hypothesis, sample size, normality of observations, multiple comparison. Frequencies of error are 7, 3, 5 and 6. Regression analysis has plotting of variances, normality of observation, property of model, multi-collinearity. Frequencies of errors are 3, 3, 2 and 2. Other Errors has null hypothesis, description of method, description of statistics, statement of results, significance level, application of method. Frequencies of error are 3, 22, 8, 9, 41 and 39.
Finally, we will inforce on statistical education in college because product correct results on research.
