are two main branches of statistics that include descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.Descriptive statistics gives numerical measures that describes the features of a given set of data. Inferential statistics on the other hand takes a sample of a given population‚ analyses the sample‚ and from it draw conclusions about the population .Malcolm.O.Asadoorian and Demetrius Kantarelis in their book: Essentials of inferential statistics argue that descriptive statistics organize ‚ summarize and

Data Analysis: Analyzing Data - Inferential Statistics Inferential statistics deal with drawing conclusions and‚ in some cases‚ making predictions about the properties of a population based on information obtained from a sample. While descriptive statistics provide information about the central tendency‚ dispersion‚ skew‚ and kurtosis of data‚ inferential statistics allow making broader statements about the relationships between data. Inferential statistics are frequently used to answer cause-and-effect

The levels of measurement from the lowest to the highest level are nominal‚ ordinal‚ interval‚ and ratio Variables measured at the nominal level of measurement are at the lowest level and must follow three rules: (1) the data categories must be exhaustive (each datum will fit into at least one category identified by the researcher)‚ (2) the data categories must be exclusive (each datum will fit into only one category)‚ and (3) the data cannot be rank ordered. Nominal data differ from ordinal data
