The document defines key concepts in statistics such as descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, qualitative variables, and quantitative variables. It also distinguishes between discrete and continuous quantitative variables. The purpose is to teach students the basic concepts and types of variables in statistics. Examples are provided to illustrate qualitative versus quantitative variables and different types of statistical analyses.

Statistics 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

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 > number of shirts Qualitative Variables Quantitative Variables
