Statistics is a science that seems familiar, because we are used to hearing mentions of it in the media. Sometimes it is not taken seriously because statistical predictions do not always come true. However, this fact does not negate the extreme importance of statistical research. The purpose of statistics is to obtain knowledge in an objective way based on observations and analysis of reality. This book touches on some of the more interesting aspects of statistics, such as how to collect data and how to present information using graphs. The reader will take an excursion into probability theory, and will also learn about statistical research, election polls, and the reasoning that underlies all statistical tests.
