Book Description: Statistics is the art of collecting, organizing, summarizing, analyzing, and drawing conclusions from available information. In other words, Statistics is a branch of knowledge that sets out general problems of collection, measurement, monitoring, analysis of massive information and their comparison; analyzes the quantitative aspect of social phenomena in numerical form.

Book Description
This book is designed for teaching key fundamental principles of Statistics. It briefly covers three main branches of Statistics: Descriptive Analysis, Probability and Interferential Analysis.
Descriptive Analysis presents and describes, sorts out and analyzes collected data using graphing tools and numerical chsracteristics. These topics will be explained in Chapters 1 (graphing analysis) and 2 (numerical characteristics).
Probability tells us how often an event may happen. As a theoretical method, the probability is largely used in mathematical application to real life problems. Probability is the most mathematical part of our book. We will cover essential consepts of probability in Chapters 3 – 5.
Inferential Analysis allows us to make predictions and inferences based on the analysis of the collected data. Various methods can be used for this purpose. Inferential Analysis is the crusial part of our book; it will be covered in Chapters 6 – 10.
