INTRODUCTION OF STATISTIC
numerical form while second type is the quantitative data that is numerical data.
However, quantitative data has two of data that is discrete data and continuous data.
Discrete data can only take specific numeric value while continuous data can take any
numerical values. So, from the data above, the type of data is continuous quantitative
data.
Variables are things that we measure, control, or manipulate in research. They
differ in many respects, most notably in the role they are given in our research and in
the type of measures that can be applied to them. Based on the data above, the
Descriptive analysis

2. Median
the list after sorting them in increasing order. If the totals of the
list are even, sum of the two middle numbers and then divided
Find the Median of: 8, 3, 44, 17, 12, 6 (Even amount of numbers)
Grouped data
3. Mode
remember that mode starts with the same first two letters that
While for the grouped data, the mode is obtain using the formula:
used to determine whether scores are average or significantly below or above average
Standard deviations are calculated by test developers. You can think of them as
Graphical Descriptive
The bar chart above shows the number of cases diagnosed and deaths
the subset of the population for whom we have data. Thus, the population of the data
above is people who have Aids mortality in the United State while the sample is
