    What is Statistics?
    Statistics (Applied)
    A science of collection,
    organization, analysis,
    interpretation and presentation of
    quantitative data to arrive at a
    conclusion.
    Types of Statistics
    1. Descriptive Statistics
    Statistical methods that concerns with the
    development of certain indices from the raw
    data. It summarizes collected/classified data.
    Areas of Statistics

    2. Inferential Statistics
    Statistical methods that generalized results
    beyond the data collected provided that the data
    collected is a part of a large set of items. It is
    also known as sampling statistics.
    -it is concerned with two major problems:
     Estimation of population parameters
     Testing of statistical hypothesis
    Exercise 1: Classify whether the statement belongs to the area of
    Descriptive Statistics (DS) or inferential statistics (IS).

    measure pertaining to a sample.
    Variables
    Characteristics that may vary from unit to

    counted.
    Continuous –those that can be
    measured.
