What is the role of probability in statistics? To quantify uncertainty and model random phenomena.


What is statistical inference? The process of drawing conclusions about a population based on a
sample.


What is the sample mean? The average value of a sample, calculated by summing all
observations and dividing by the number of observations.


What is the median? The middle value in a data set when arranged in ascending order.


What does variability in statistics refer to? The degree to which data points differ from each other.


What is a designed experiment? A study where conditions are controlled to test specific hypotheses.


What is an observational study? A study where researchers observe outcomes without intervention.
