Well, the first thing you want to answer is what is statistics? statistics.
00:10
Well, the book tells us it's the science of conducting studies to collect, organize, summarize, analyze, and draw conclusions from data.
00:20
So what does that mean exactly? well, statistics is all about the data.
00:27
And data is just variables that we want to measure.
00:30
So it could be the number of people who attend a baseball game, or the number of likes a certain posts gets on a social media app.
00:38
Data is all around us.
00:40
And so in statistics, we want to collect it.
00:45
We want to have data in the first place.
00:47
Once we do that, we organize it in a manner so that we can interpret this data.
00:53
So having a bunch of data that is just jumbled up and not organized is not very helpful.
00:59
We want to have a way to sort this data to put it into groups or to find.
01:04
Correlations or to look at trends within our data and from that we can draw conclusions.
01:10
So perhaps we can say that on certain days, on saturdays and sundays, for example, more people attend baseball games.
01:19
So that's the conclusion that perhaps you can draw from data if you collect data on the number of people who attend certain baseball games...
