, Part 1: Data Collection

1. Introduction to the Practice of Statistics

Q1. What is the primary goal of statistics?

A) To collect data

B) To summarize data

C) To make informed decisions based on data

D) To perform experiments

Answer: C) To make informed decisions based on data

Explanation: The primary goal of statistics is to analyze and interpret data to make informed decisions. While
collecting and summarizing data are important steps, the ultimate aim is to use this information for decision-

Q2. Which of the following best describes a population in statistics?

A) A subset of data points from a study

B) The entire group about which information is sought

C) Data collected from an experiment

D) Randomly selected individuals from a study

Answer: B) The entire group about which information is sought

Explanation: In statistics, a population refers to the complete set of individuals, items, or data points that
researchers are interested in studying.



2. Observational Studies and Designed Experiments

Q3. What distinguishes a designed experiment from an observational study?

A) Use of random sampling

B) Control over the assignment of treatments

C) Collection of qualitative data

D) Analysis of existing data
