Statistics is
the science and art of collecting, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from data
are objects described by a set of data. Individuals may be people, but they
may also be animals or things.
is any characteristic of an individual. A variable can take different values for
different individuals.
in any graph of data is an individual observation that falls outside the overall pattern of the graph.
Arrange all observation in order of size, from smallest to largest.
Individuals are
objects described by a set of data. Individuals may be people, but they
may also be animals or things.
is any characteristic of an individual. A variable can take different values for

places an individual into one of several groups or categories.
takes numerical values for which arithmetic operations such as
adding and averaging make sense.
of a variable tells us what values the variable takes and how often it takes these variables.
