3 Steps in a scienffic process to increase knowdlege: a) observe; b) gather data; c) describe; d) explain; e) predict. Science is a set of facts and theories based upon informafon obtained with Scien&fic Method CharacterisFcs of the Scien&fic Method: a) the Method has to be objecfve or unbiased ; b) the Method should involve the control of variables; c ) the Method should be repeatable; d) the Method should allow the accumulafon of results.

4 Elementary Concepts StaFsFcal Unit or Unit PopulaFon Sample Sample Survey Experimental Design Variable: Discrete, ConFnuous (quanftafve), Categorical (qualitafve) Data: Discrete, ConFnuous, Categorical

5 Example In the Gynecological Department each woman was asked about the number of live births they had delivered so far. Answers: Raw Data This is an example of discrete variable and discrete data.
