  • Population: The entire group that you're interested in making conclusions about. For example, if you're studying the effects of a drug, the population might be all people with a certain disease.
  • Sample: A subset of the population used to conduct the study. Ideally, the sample is representative of the population, allowing the results to be generalized.
  • Variable: Any characteristic, number, or quantity that can be measured or counted. Variables may be classified as categorical (e.g., gender, color) or numerical (e.g., height, weight).
  • Descriptive Statistics: Statistics that summarize the data collected from a sample. Common examples include mean (average), median (middle value), and mode (most frequent value).
  • Inferential Statistics: Techniques used to draw conclusions about the population based on sample data. This includes estimating population parameters and testing hypotheses.
  • Confidence Interval: A range of values, derived from the sample statistic, that is likely to contain the value of an unknown population parameter. For example, a 95% confidence interval means you can be 95% certain the interval contains the true parameter.
  • P-value: The probability of obtaining an effect at least as extreme as the one in your sample data, assuming the null hypothesis is true. A low p-value (typically ≤ 0.05) indicates that the observed data are unlikely under the null hypothesis, suggesting a significant effect.
  • Null Hypothesis (H0): The default position that there is no difference or no effect. In hypothesis testing, the goal is often to gather evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
  • Alternative Hypothesis (H1): The hypothesis that there is a difference or effect. If the null hypothesis is rejected, the alternative hypothesis is supported.
  • Type I Error: Incorrectly rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true (false positive).
  • Type II Error: Failing to reject the null hypothesis when it is false (false negative).
  • Standard Deviation: A measure of the amount of variation or dispersion in a set of values. A low standard deviation means that the values tend to be close to the mean, while a high standard deviation means they are spread out over a wider range.
  • Regression Analysis: A statistical method for examining the relationship between two or more variables. For example, it can be used to understand how changes in one variable (independent) predict changes in another (dependent).
  • Correlation: A measure of the relationship between two variables, ranging from -1 to 1. A correlation of 1 indicates a perfect positive relationship, -1 indicates a perfect negative relationship, and 0 indicates no relationship.
