What's the difference between statistic and statistics?

Statistic


Definition:

  • (a.) Alt. of Statistical

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The statistical T value calculated for the LP-TAE group showed that the administration of LP, the tumor size, intrahepatic metastasis, portal vein infiltration, and serum total bilirubin and alpha-fetoprotein levels significantly (P < 0.01) affected the patients' survival.
  • (2) No statistically significant difference was found between sodium hyaluronate and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC).
  • (3) However, there was no statistically significant difference in mean areas under the LH and FSH curves in the GnRH-treated groups.
  • (4) Statistically significant differences were found mainly in the randomized trial, where during the first and second years, respectively, adenoidectomy subjects had 47% and 37% less time with otitis media than control subjects and 28% and 35% fewer suppurative (acute) episodes than control subjects.
  • (5) Altogether 47 variables were investigated, and of these 34 gave results which were statistically significant.
  • (6) Regression curves indicate that although all three types of pulmonary edema can be characterized by slightly different slopes, the differences are statistically insignificant.
  • (7) The level of significance of the statistical estimate of the change in the number of phonoreactive units (its increase due to deprivation) amounts to 92%.
  • (8) Statistically significant increases of triglycerides occurred under the combined preparations, of phospholipids under Ovosiston and Deposiston and of the beta-lipoproteins under Ovosiston and Gravistat.
  • (9) Moreover, the data showed for the first time that DNA synthesis in the bone marrow and spleen and colon were markedly statistically significantly stimulated at specific times after treatment.
  • (10) = 19) with a very low, but statistically significant, correlation with the AUC, r = 0.35 (p less than 0.05), thus demonstrating a very great individual variation in sensitivity to cimetidine.
  • (11) There were no statistically significant increases in ABR thresholds for irradiated ears vs. control ears.
  • (12) Differences between N1 and N2 disease were not statistically significant.
  • (13) Charge data from the target hospital showed a statistically significant reduction in laboratory charges per patient in the quarter following program initiation (P = 0.02) and no evidence for change in a group of five comparison hospitals.
  • (14) However, each of the studies had numerous methodological flaws which biased their results against finding a relationship: either their outcome measures had questionable validity, their research designs were inappropriate, or the statistical analyses were poorly conceived.
  • (15) Are you ready to vote?” is the battle cry, and even the most superficial of glances at the statistics tells why.
  • (16) The prevalence of diabetes was 36% higher among San Antonio Mexican Americans than among Mexicans in Mexico City; this difference was highly statistically significant (age- and sex-adjusted prevalence ratio 1.36, P = 0.006).
  • (17) We found no statistically significant difference in one-year, biochemically validated, sustained cessation rates between the group offered the long-term follow-up visits (12.5%) and the group given the brief intervention (10.2%).
  • (18) The results are analysed statistically and summarized in graphs.
  • (19) Mononuclear phagocytic cells from patients with either principal form of leprosy functioned similarly to normal monocytes in phagocytosis while their fungicidal activity for C. pseudotropicalis was statistically significantly altered and was more evident in the lepromatous than in the tuberculoid type.
  • (20) Although statistical analysis did not show dramatic changes in all these parameters, some individual extreme values were substantially altered.

Statistics


Definition:

  • (n.) The science which has to do with the collection and classification of certain facts respecting the condition of the people in a state.
  • (n.) Classified facts respecting the condition of the people in a state, their health, their longevity, domestic economy, arts, property, and political strength, their resources, the state of the country, etc., or respecting any particular class or interest; especially, those facts which can be stated in numbers, or in tables of numbers, or in any tabular and classified arrangement.
  • (n.) The branch of mathematics which studies methods for the calculation of probabilities.
