INTRODUCTION
Statistic, is a method of making your research data viable, for us researchers. But, it also can make vice versa. That's the beauty and ugly side of statistics. (Hypothesis Test) We'll get on to that later, but here's some definition, before we start:
STATISTICS
defined as the science of planning, conducting, summarizing, analyzing, intrepreting and making conclusion based on the availabale data.
there are 2 areas of statistics:
DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
Basically collecting, organizing, summarizing and presenting data. Doesn't need to think too much. just crunch the numbers into formula.
INFERENTIAL STATISTICS
Estimating, hypothesis testing, studying the relationship among variables and making calculated probability. Major Headache for everyone.
Within these 2 area, there are term commonly used throught out the statistics world. these are the definitions:
POPULATION
Collection of all subjects in the study. if your studying about cows colour in Z farm, the population is all the cow in the farm, regardless of colour.
SAMPLE
A subgroup of subjects selected from a population. Taking previous example; white cows group is a sample from the population of cows in Z farm.
DATA
the values such as measurements, observations that have been collected. there are 23 white cows, 13 brown cows and 14 black cows. (example)
These are the basic terms in statistics. Next post will be on Variables.
