make a decision or
provide
answers to the problem
or question at hand
STATISTICAL PROCESS
–Planning or designing the collection of data to
answer statistical questions in a way that
maximizes information content and minimizes
bias;
–Collecting the data as required in the plan;
STATISTICAL PROCESS

–Verifying the quality of the

data after they were
collected;
– Summarizing the information
extracted from the data; and
STATISTICAL PROCESS

–Examining the summary statistics so

that insight and meaningful
information can be produced to
support decision-making or solutions
to the question or problem at hand.
