Chapter 1: Introduction to Statistics

1. What is statistics?
Statistics is a science of collecting, analyzing, interpreting and presenting data to assist in making
more effective decisions.

2. What is data collection?

Data collection is getting information through interviews, questionnaires, objective observations,
experimentations, psychological tests and other methods.

3. What is data analysis?

Data analysis is the resolution of information into simpler elements by the application of statistical
principles.

Data interpretation is the explanation and interpretation of the results or findings of data analysis.

5. What is data presentation?

Data presentation is the exhibition by using graphs, figures and tables, which is found in the research
work.

6. What is descriptive statistics?

Descriptive statistics consists of methods for organizing, summarizing and presenting data about the
samples or about the populations, by using table, chart, and graph.

7. What is inferential statistics?

Inferential statistics consists of methods used to find a decision, estimate and prediction about a
population, based on a sample.

8. What is population?
Population is an entire set of all elements, individuals, items or objects of interest.

9. What is sample?
Sample is a portion, or part of the population.

10. What is qualitative variable?

A variable that cannot assume a numerically value but can be classified into two or more non-
numeric categories.

11. Give three names of qualitative variable?

There is gender, marital status, occupation, race, mother tongue, religions, etc.

12. What is quantitative variable?
