One step forward to our goal of knowing everything.
When we learn about mean, median, mode, range, variance, skewness of the data; we are essentially talking about Descriptive Statistics. It is undoubtedly first and best thing you can do when your mail box is hit with data from manager.

Start?
Yes, that’s what we are here for. Inferential Statistics is divided into two sub parts/techniques.
- Problem of Estimation subdivided into
Point Estimation: Gives a point value for the random variable parameter.
Interval Estimation: Gives the range of value or interval in which random variable parameter falls in with a given probability. - Test of Hypothesis
