Statistics is the science that deals with the collection, classification,

analysis, and interpretation of numerical facts or data, and that, by use of
mathematical theories of probability, imposes order and regularity on
aggregates of more or less disparate elements.

Population: a set of elements with common characteristics that will be

studied. A finite or infinite collection of items under consideration.

Sample. A portion drawn from a population, the study of which is

intended to lead to statistical estimates of the attributes of the whole
population.

Qualitative variable. An attribute or characteristic of population different

than the amount.

Variables. Characteristics that you can study in a population

 Quantitative variable. It is one in which the variates differ in magnitude,
e.g. Income, age, gnp, etc.

Standard deviation: the dispersion of data with respect to the average. It

is denoted by the greek letter sigma.

Median. It is defined as the intermediate value of the population

Mode . The mode is a most common (frequent) value.

Coefficient of variation. Allows to know the degree of dispersion of the

data with respect to the half, but in this case is isolated from the analysis
units. It is especially useful for comparing the variation in different
samples.
