    Statistics
     branch of mathematics which deals
    with the Collection, Organization,
    Presentation, Analysis and
    Interpretation of data
    Why we need to
    study Statistics?
    Statistics is used in different fields such as:

     education

     business

     emergency preparedness
    Types of Statistics
     Descriptive Statistics
     consist of methods for organizing and
    summarizing data/ information
     Inferential Statistics
     consist of methods for drawing and
    measuring conclusions
    Examples:
     Descriptive Statistics
     An instructor ranks his students according
    to their average grade.
     Inferential Statistics
     A psychologist predicts the effect of music
    to a student academic performance.
    Types of Variables
     Qualitative variables
     classified according to some attributes or
    categories
     Quantitative variables
     classified according to numerical
    characteristics
    Examples:

     Qualitative Variables  Quantitative variables


     Gender  Height
     eye color  Age
     civil status  number of siblings
    Types of Quantitative Variables
     Discrete variable
     variable whose values are obtained by
    counting
     Continuous variable
     variable whose values are obtained by
    measuring
    Examples:

     Discrete Variables  Continuous variables


     number of children  temperature
     number of persons  distance
    with blue eyes  area
     number of males and
    females in class A
    Try this: Classify the following data whether they
    are qualitative or quantitative variables.
    > height > religion > weight > gender
    > color > age > name > gender
