Q1: What is the main purpose of statistics in nursing research?
A: To organize, analyze, and interpret data so that evidence-based decisions can be made in clinical
practice. ■


Q2: Why is evidence-based practice important in nursing research?
A: It ensures that patient care is based on the best available evidence, improving outcomes and increasing
the quality of healthcare delivery. ■


Q3: What is the difference between descriptive and inferential statistics?
A: Descriptive statistics summarize and describe data, while inferential statistics allow researchers to make
predictions or generalizations about a population from a sample. ■


Q4: What is a variable in research?
A: A variable is any characteristic or factor that can vary or change among subjects, such as age, blood
pressure, or treatment type. ■


Q5: What are independent variables?
A: Independent variables are the factors manipulated or categorized by the researcher to examine their
effect on dependent variables. ■

Q6: What are dependent variables?
A: Dependent variables are outcomes measured in a study that change in response to independent
variables, such as patient recovery rate. ■


Q7: What is a population in research?
A: A population is the entire group of individuals that a researcher wants to study or draw conclusions
about, such as all patients with diabetes in a hospital. ■


Q8: What is a sample in research?
A: A sample is a smaller subset of the population that is studied to make inferences about the whole
population. ■


Q9: Why is sampling important?
A: Sampling is necessary because it is often impractical or impossible to study the entire population, and a
well-chosen sample represents the population accurately. ■


Q10: What is random sampling?
A: Random sampling is when every member of the population has an equal chance of being selected,
reducing bias and increasing generalizability. ■
