 Introduction to Statistics

Statistics is the discipline that concerns the collection,

organization, displaying, analysis, interpretation and
presentation of data.

In applying statistics to a scientific, industrial, or social

problem, it is conventional to begin with a statistical
population or a statistical model to be studied. Populations can
be diverse groups of people or objects such as "all people living
in a country" or "every atom composing a crystal".
 Types of data
•
• Numerical data. These data have meaning as a
measurement, such as a person’s height, weight,
IQ, or blood pressure; or they’re a count, such
as the number of stock shares a person owns,
how many teeth a dog has, or how many pages
you can read of your favorite book before you
fall asleep. (Statisticians also call numerical
data quantitative data.)
Categorical data: Categorical data represent
characteristics such as a person’s gender, marital
status, hometown, or the types of movies they
like. Categorical data can take on numerical
values (such as “1” indicating male and “2”
indicating female), but those numbers don’t
have mathematical meaning. You couldn’t add
them together, for example.
