Types of statistics and statistical tests
Descriptive statistics
Descriptive statistics are used to summarize data in a few
numbers, such as the mean and SDOften the goal of statistics is inference , to learn
something about the properties of the population from the sample
Statistics are also useful for hypothesis testing
Statistics are relevant to either or distributions
are relevant to normal (bell-curve) distributions, and apply when
the distribution is not normal or unknown
The most common statistics compare two variables. However,
sophisticated procedures exist for analyzing the relationships among
many variables simultaneously
Methods exist for comparing matched samples, samples that correspond
value by value rather than just as a whole group
