INTRODUCTION
In daily life and work, we are often confronted with various issues that require precise and accurate
solutions. Statistics serve to help us make conclusions that are precise, accurate, and scientifically
accountable. Thus, statistics can be viewed as a tool, means, means of working on and interpreting
data responsibly. However, it will only happen if the data processed by the statistical technique is
also accurate. Statistical techniques will question and at the same time demanding accountability
from accuracy of data to be processed, so before processed with certain statistical techniques, there
should be information about the accountability of data acquisition concerned.
B. Types of Statistics
Statistical techniques can be grouped into 2 groups, such as descriptive statistics and
inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics are statistical techniques that provide information
only about the data held and do not intend to test the hypothesis and then draw generalized
inference for larger data. Descriptive statistics are used to present and analyze data to be more
meaningful and communicative and accompanied by simple calculations that are more clarify
the circumstances and characteristics of the data concerned.
Inferential statistics are referred to as inductive statistics, ie statistics relating to data analysis
(samples) to then do the inferences, generalized to the entire subject where the data is taken
(population). Inferential statistics are statistics intended to test the hypothesis, either the null
hypothesis or the working hypothesis, about the presence or absence of relationships,
differences, and forecasting functions among the variables tested.
E. Data Distribution
The concept and the term "data" in the original language contain plural meanings. Plurality of
data following the subject's gamut. That is, for a certain number of subjects there will be data
of an amount equal to each one of the observed phenomena. Conceptually theoretical, the data
for each subject in harmony with the other. In principle, every research always observes or
examines the differences of a number of data contained by the same number of subjects.
When one thinks of a distribution of data, in essence he thinks about the picture of the intensity
difference of a set of data. In other words, when a group of subjects contains different
characteristics, the subject group contains certain other characteristic equations. If the
emphasis is the aspect of the difference, the term used for the concept is heterogeneity,
whereas if the emphasis element of the equation is called homogeneity.
