Distributions – categorizing and graphing frequencies * Central tendency and variability * Conclusions based on what we observe * Example: large standard deviations let us conclude distribution has lots of variability * Now‚ we will test relationships based on probability Probability – mathematical measure of the likelihood of an even occurring * Chance of the desired even occurring written in %‚ proportion‚ or ration. * 40% chance of rain * Batting average .313

Random sample It is often not necessary to survey the entire population. Instead‚ you can select a random sample of people/or firms from the population and survey just them. You can then draw conclusions about how the entire population would respond based on the responses from this randomly selected group of people. This is exactly what political pollsters do - they ask a group of people a list of questions and based on their results‚ they draw conclusions about the population as a whole with
