    Data consists of information from observations, counts, or measurements. Statistics involves collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data to make decisions. There are two branches of statistics: descriptive statistics which summarizes and displays data, and inferential statistics which uses samples to draw conclusions about populations. Key concepts include populations, parameters, statistics, random variables, probability distributions, discrete and continuous variables, levels of measurement, and methods of data collection like observational studies and experiments.

    4 LEVELS OF MEASUREMENT
    Nominal- Calculated using names, labels, or
    qualities. No mathematical computations can
    be made at this level.
    Ordinal- Arranged in order, but differences
    between data entries are not meaningful
    Interval - Arranged in order, the differences
    between data entries can be calculated
    Ratio- can be formed so one data value can be
    expressed as a ratio.

    Methods of Data Collection


    observational study - a researcher observes and
    measures characteristics of interest of part of a
    population.
    Experiment - a treatment is applied to part of a
    population, and responses are observed.
