Population: The complete set of data for a statistical study.
Sample: A subset of the population. The methods used to select samples are called sampling.
Random Sample: Elements chosen with equal opportunity for selection.
Non-Random Sample: Elements selected based on specific criteria defined by the researcher.

Introduction to Statistical Concepts and Methods
Statistics
Statistics is commonly regarded as a collection of numerical facts expressed in terms of a submissive relationship, derived from other numerical data.
Kendall and Buckland define statistics as a summary value calculated from a sample of observations, often used to estimate a population parameter.
Gini (1953) states: “Statistics is a specialized technique suitable for the quantitative study of mass or collective phenomena, requiring a mass of observations of simpler individual phenomena.”

Matrices
History and Applications
Matrices first appeared around 1850, introduced by J.J. Sylvester. The initial development of the mathematical theory is attributed to W.R. Hamilton in 1853. In 1858, A. Cayley introduced matrix notation as a shorthand for m linear equations with n unknowns.
Matrices are used in numerical computation to solve systems of linear equations, differential equations, and partial derivatives. Beyond linear equations, matrices appear in geometry, statistics, economics, computer

Levels of Quality
Laboratory quality can be categorized into three levels:
- Analytical Data Quality: Ensuring accurate calibration and passing inspections.
- Analytical Method Quality: Responsibility of the kit providers.
- Clinical Laboratory Quality: Overall quality management within the laboratory.
Quality Plan Essentials
Every laboratory requires a comprehensive quality plan to guarantee reliable reports. Essential components include:
- Functional Organization: Organizing laboratory activities by shifts (
