Statistical Analysis
| C. Hall Jones & Associates can effectively employ a number of statistical analysis techniques to aid in the collection, organization, classification, summarization, interpretation, and presentation of data, making inferences, testing hypotheses, determining relationships, making predictions about a sample or a population, and making decisions under uncertainty. Statistics is often defined as the science of collecting, organizing, summarizing, analyzing, and making inferences from data. Statistics is a collection of theories and methods that are applied for the purpose of understanding data. The application of statistics may be beneficial: (1) in conjunction with research to fully understand the results and how those results affect future course and/or program design and application, (2) to determine various factors from sets of data that have been obtained from tests that have been applied to a single group, and (3) to determine various factors from sets of data that have been obtained from tests that have been applied to multiple groups. The application of statistics is divided into three broad categories: (1) descriptive statistics, (2) inferential statistics, and (3) decision theory. Descriptive statistics includes collecting, organizing, classifying, summarizing, and presenting data. Inferential statistics includes making inferences, hypothesis testing, determining relationships, and making predictions about a population by analyzing a sample from that population. Decision theory includes making decisions under uncertainty. C. Hall Jones & Associates HC-13, Box 300653 Fayette, Utah 84630 Phone: 321-652-3610 Website Contents © 2007 – 2019 All Rights Reserved |
