Types of statistics
1. Descriptive statistics: about describing data, often through summary statistics. E.g.
on average, a spanish woman is 1.63m tall. They are statistical procedures used to
summarize and simplify data.
2. Inferential statistics: we want to make an inference from something to something
else, like we want to make an inference from the sample to the population.
Types of variables
1. Discrete variables, variable can only consist of a limited number of categories, and
there cannot be a value between 1 and 2.
2. Continuous variables, it can take all values between two points, like income or
height.
Measuring variables
1. Nominal scale: named categories (e.g. dog, cat, hamster) and no quantitative
distinction between them (not ranked), and no true zero.
2. Ordinal scale: ranked named categories (e.g. 1st, 2nd, 3rd), no equal distance
between ranks and no true zero.
3. Interval scale: consists of equally sized intervals between values, each unit has the
same size and there is no true zero, like temperature.
4. Ratio scale: consists of equally sized intervals between values, each unit has the
same size and there is a true zero! Like age.
A parameter is a value that describes a population.
A statistic is a value that describes a sample.
