Introduction to Statistics

  • What is Statistics?
    • Statistics is the science of collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data. It helps us make informed decisions based on numerical information.
  • Types of Statistics:
    • Descriptive Statistics: Summarizes and describes the characteristics of a dataset (e.g., mean, median, mode).
    • Inferential Statistics: Makes predictions or inferences about a population based on a sample of data.
  • Real-Life Example:
    • A company may use descriptive statistics to summarize sales data from the previous year, while using inferential statistics to predict future sales based on that data.
