Intro To Statistics

Statistics is the process of converting qualitative data into usable information. It involves tools to help understand data characteristics and make inferences about unknown populations from samples. Descriptive statistics summarizes data through measures of central tendency like mean, median and mode, and measures of variability like range and standard deviation. Inferential statistics allows drawing conclusions about populations through sampling and analytical tools like estimating populations and testing hypotheses. Levels of measurement include nominal, ordinal, interval and ratio scales. Distribution refers to analyzing data to understand variable patterns using statistics like mean and standard deviation. Disposition studies how substances are absorbed, distributed, metabolized and excreted in the body.

Introduction
Statistics is the process of converting data
into information that is usable to people

Statistics is also a collection of tools that help


people understand the meaning of qualitative
data.
Statistics can also be used to make educated
guesses of the unknown and find useful
information
What is a Descriptive Statistics?

Summarizes or describes the characterizes or describes the


characteristics of a data set, which can be either a
representation of the entire population or a sample of a
population.

It can be broken down into measures of central


tendency (mean, median and mode) and measures of
variability (range, interquartile range, standart deviation
and variance).

this is the most sophisticated level of measurement, where

Measurement of distribution and disposition
are not related to the levels of measurement . However, understanding the
levels of measurement is important for statistical analysis, which can help in
measuring distribution and disposition.
