Applied Statistics - Introduction
Statistics is the scientific response to uncertainty and
involves sound practices to test beliefs and theories. It
also ensures ethical diversity in data sets. Statistical
methods can identify key drivers of outcomes and
predict outcomes that are unknown. It provides
reliable mechanisms for decision making in data-
oriented debates. Additionally, statistics guides us on
the process of collecting, analyzing, and reporting data.
It helps make scientific discoveries, database decisions,
and predictions. In this course, we will learn about
topics like temperature measurement. Temperature is
an example of a continuous variable measured on the
Kelvin scale, which is both an interval and ratio
variable. A ratio variable has a zero value meaning the
absence of the variable, whereas for an interval
variable, zero is just another value. For temperature
measurement, 0 degrees Celsius does not signify the
absence of heat, and 100 degrees Celsius is not twice
as hot as 50 degrees Celsius because heat begins at -
273.15 degrees Celsius.We will also cover topics like
measures of central tendency and spread of
information, which are used to aggregate information.
