FAQ

Q: What is probability?
A: Probability is the measure of how likely an event is to occur.

Q: What is statistics?

Q: What is the mean?
A: The mean is the average of a set of numbers.

Q: What is the median?
A: The median is the middle value in a set of numbers when they are arranged in order.

Q: What is the mode?
A: The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a set of numbers.

Q: What is the standard deviation?
A: The standard deviation measures the amount of variability or dispersion in a set of numbers.

Q: What is a confidence interval?
A: A confidence interval is an estimate of the range of values within which a population parameter is likely to fall.

Q: What is hypothesis testing?
A: Hypothesis testing is a statistical method used to make inferences about a population based on sample data.
