What is Statistics?

Statistics is a branch of science which

deals with the development of methods for

a more effective way of collecting,

organizing, presenting and analyzing data.

Statistics may also be the data itself orsome computations derived from it.

Major Areas of Statistics

DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS

This area of Statistics incorporates graphs, tables and

measures to extract and present information from the data.

It does not attempt to go beyond what has been collected.

INFERENTIAL STATISTICS

This area aims to generalize or draw conclusions based on

information derived from samples taken from the target

population.

The End

Contemporary statistics has blossomed into a rigorous

scientific discipline with applications in numerous other

areas, sometimes leading to the creation of entirely newdomains.

These very applied disciplines, in turn, have often

developed their own statistical techniquesto serve their

own needs. On the other hand, teaching statistical theory and practice

lies at the basis of to-days education: What and how to

teach statistics, within different disciplines, to obtain an

optimal return?
