What is statistics? | StatsExamples

This video explains statistics and what it is. Think of it as a introduction to statistics. It describes the two major types of statistics: descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive statstics is using data to summarize and describe the properties of a data set. Usually, this is data from a sample used to make estimations about the likely values for a population. Inferential statstics is using the data from the sample to answer questions about the population. Questions can incldue whether a population has a specific average value or if two populations have the same average value. Questions can also compare variatoin, proportions, and whether two variables seem to exhibit a non-random pattern or assoaiation. Finally, a very brief description of Bayesian statistics, likelihood and the Akaike information criterion are covered.
