A clustered sample is where the population is split into smaller groups called 'clusters'. The clusters are usually natural, like different cities in a country. The clusters are chosen randomly for the sample. All members of the clusters can participate in the sample, or members can be chosen...
So, what is bias in statistics? Find out more about statistical biases and how they affect your business in this guide.What is bias in statistics?Statistical bias is a term used to describe statistics that don’t provide an accurate representation of the population. Some data is flawed ...
Let’s discuss the formulas of descriptive statistics (a) Sample Range One simple measure of variability is the sample range, the difference between the smallest item and the largest item in each sample. For small samples all of the same size, the sample range is a useful quantity. However,...
If you are a student in a statistics class or a professional researcher, you need to know how to use inferential statistics to analyze data and make smart decisions. In this age of “big data,” when we have access to a lot of information, the capacity to draw correct population ...

Both types of statistics have their parameters, which are measurements of a statistical population (a set of events, objects, cases, or items that are similar in some aspect or belong to the same universe) that describe the attribute of that population. Descriptive statistics The first type of...
In practice, statistics is the idea that we can learn about the properties of large sets of objects or events (apopulation) by studying the characteristics of a smaller number of similar objects or events (asample). Gathering comprehensive data about an entire population is too costly, difficult...
Descriptive statistics are brief informational coefficients that summarize a given data set, which can be either a representation of the entire population or a sample of a population. Descriptive statistics are broken down into measures of central tendency and measures of variability (spread). Measures...
A sample is used in statistics as an analytic subset of a larger population. Using samples allows researchers to conduct timely their studies with more manageable data. Randomly drawn samples do not have much bias if they are large enough, but achieving such a sample may be expensive and time...
