What is Statistics?
(30 seconds) Discuss it with your shoulder partner.
Statistics is a branch of mathematics
dealing with the collection, analysis,
interpretation, presentation, and organization
of data.
A statistical question is
one that can be answered by collecting
data, where there is variability.
Examples:
How many minutes do 6th graders typically spend on homework?
How many siblings do kids at PVMS have?
How many pets do people in Colorado typically have?
Non Examples:
What is your favorite color?
How old is Mr. H?
How many pets does Ms. Moore have?
