An Introduction

 Summarize and describe data

 A way of expressing knowledge or belief that an event will occur  Probability distributions ◦ Discrete  Binomial  Poisson  Hypergeometric ◦ Continuous  Normal

 Using the data obtained from a sample to draw inferences and apply them to the greater population

Qualitative Variables ◦ Attributes, categories  Examples: male/female, registered to vote/not, ethnicity, eye color.... Quantitative Variables ◦ Discrete - usually take on integer values but can take on fractions when variable allows - counts, how many ◦ Continuous - can take on any value at any point along an interval - measurements, how much © 2008 Thomson South-Western

For each of the following, indicate whether the appropriate variable would be qualitative or quantitative. If the variable is quantitative, indicate whether it would be discrete or continuous.

 Why do we use inferential statistics?  What risks could be associated with using inferential statistics?  What is the difference between a discrete and a continuous variable?
