Descriptive Statistics is a branch of statistics that focuses on summarizing and presenting data in a meaningful way.
It provides essential tools to analyze and understand the characteristics of a dataset. Through descriptive statistics, we can gain insights into central tendencies, data spread, and the overall distribution of our data.
This knowledge is crucial for making informed decisions and drawing conclusions from the available data.

05:41 Summary
Data can be classified into two main types: categorical data and numerical data.
Categorical data consists of discrete categories or groups, such as gender, colors, or types of fruits.
On the other hand, numerical data includes measurable quantities and can be further divided into continuous (e.g., height, weight) and discrete (e.g., number of siblings) data.
Understanding the type of data is essential as it determines the appropriate statistical methods to analyze it.
Measures of central tendency are statistics that represent the typical or central value of a dataset. We will explore three primary measures:
1. Mean: The arithmetic average, obtained by summing all data values and dividing by the total number of data points.
2. Median: The middle value when data is ordered from smallest to largest (or vice versa). It is less affected by extreme values.
3. Mode: The most frequently occurring value in the dataset. It is useful for categorical data.
Measures of dispersion help us understand the spread or variability of data points. We will explore three primary measures:
1. Range: The difference between the maximum and minimum values of the dataset.
2. Variance: The average of squared differences between each data point and the mean.
3. Standard Deviation: The square root of variance, representing the average deviation from the mean.
The Empirical Rule and Normal Distribution
The Empirical Rule states that for a normal distribution, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations. Understanding the normal distribution helps analyze data in various applications.
