FUNDAMENTS OF DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS. - Tecno-Libro

When we speak about Statistics, we usually think in numerical data, related to a specific period of time. We name statistics to data and series of Gross National Product (“GNP”), inflation, stock markets, unemployment, etc. But Statistics is much more than a set of figures. Statistics is a science, which provides us research methods to apply to the collected data in order to make an objective analysis of a specific phenomenon. This is a textbook which objective is to introduce the students in the basic knowledge of what is the Descriptive Statistics, and how to use the different data analysis techniques.
