Descriptive Statistics
These are utilized to describe the characteristic
of a population (parameter), or
the characteristics of a sample (a statistic)
Many business problems can be solved by
knowing only descriptive statistics.

The standard deviation is:
Roughly the average difference scores are
from the average.
Or:
It is roughly the average difference between
two measures taken from the same population.
It is an intuitive measure.

complete a weld was recorded for 40 workers.
