Lecture 1. Descriptive statistics includes statistical procedures that we use to describe the population we are studying. The data could be collected from either a sample or a population‚ but the results help us organize and describe data. Descriptive statistics can only be used to describe the group that is being studying. That is‚ the results cannot be generalized to any larger group. Inferential statistics is concerned with making predictions or inferences about a population from observations

The History of statistics can be said to start around 1749 although‚ over time‚ there have been changes to the interpretation of the word statistics. In early times‚ the meaning was restricted to information about states. This was later extended to include all collections of information of all types‚ and later still it was extended to include the analysis and interpretation of such data. In modern terms‚ "statistics" means both sets of collected information‚ as in national accounts and temperature

The formulae are often complicated‚ the calculations tedious‚ degrees of freedom mysterious‚ and probability tables confusing. But in fact students need no longer grapple with any of these.

Statistics is the study of the collection‚ organization‚ analysis‚ interpretation‚ and presentation of data.[1][2] It deals with all aspects of this‚ including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments. In mathematics‚ a graph is a representation of a set of objects where some pairs of the objects are connected by links. The interconnected objects are represented by mathematical abstractions called vertices‚ and the links that connect some pairs of vertices
