Statistiche descrittive vs. inferenziali

Ricorda che esistono due rami principali della statistica—statistiche descrittive e statistiche inferenziali.

Capire quale tipo di statistica serve in una determinata situazione è una competenza essenziale per trarre conclusioni accurate.

Ora puoi mettere alla prova ciò che sai su come questi due rami si usano nella pratica. Classificherai ogni scenario come un compito per statistiche descrittive o inferenziali.

Summary statistics gives you the tools you need to describe your data. In this chapter, you'll explore summary statistics including mean, median, and standard deviation, and learn how to accurately interpret them. You'll also develop your critical thinking skills, allowing you to choose the best summary statistics for your data.

Exercise 1: Che cos'è la statistica?Exercise 2: Usare la statistica nel mondo reale Exercise 3: Identificare i tipi di dati Exercise 4: Statistiche descrittive vs. inferenziali

Probability underpins a large part of statistics, where it is used to calculate the chance of events occurring. You'll work with real-world sales data and learn how data with different values can be interpreted as a probability distribution. You'll find out about discrete and continuous probability distributions, including the discovery of the normal distribution and how it occurs frequently in natural events!

Exercise 1: What are the chances?Exercise 2: What is more likely?Exercise 3: Chances of the next sale being more than the mean Exercise 4: Conditional probability Exercise 5: Dependent vs. Independent events Exercise 6: Orders of more than 10 basket products Exercise 7: Discrete distributions Exercise 8: Identifying distributions Exercise 9: Sample mean vs. Theoretical mean Exercise 10: Continuous distributions Exercise 11: Discrete vs. Continuous distributions Exercise 12: Finding the normal distribution Exercise 13: Probability with a uniform distribution

It's time to explore more probability distributions. You'll learn about the binomial distribution for visualizing the probability of binary outcomes, and one of the most important distributions in statistics, the normal distribution. You'll see how distributions can be described by their shape, along with discovering the Poisson distribution and its role in calculating the probabilities of events occuring over time. You'll also gain an understanding of the central limit theorem!

In the final chapter, you'll be introduced to hypothesis testing and how it can be used to accurately draw conclusions about a population. You'll discover correlation and how it can be used to quantify a linear relationship between two variables. You'll find out about experimental design techniques such as randomization and blinding. You'll also learn about concepts used to minimize the risk of drawing the wrong conclusion about the results of hypothesis tests!
