Main objectives
After completing this presentation, the
participants will able to:
- Define Statistics and Biostatistics.
- Define and identify the different types of data
and understand why we need to classifying
variables.

What is the data?
The data is the raw material of
statistics.
The data could be numbers or
categories or both.

The purpose: To determine the nature
of the information
The field of study concerned with:
o The collection, organization, summarization, and analysis of data. ( Descriptive Statistics).
o The Drawing of inferences about body of data when only a part of the data is observed.
( Inferential Statistics ).

things.
Exp: Age, Gender, Blood pressure
Statistical analysis need variability;
otherwise there is nothing to study

I. Quantitative Variable ( Numerical V)
- Measurements made on quantitative
variables convey information
regarding amount.
Quantitative Variable
- Discrete V
- Continues V

a) Discrete V (Countable):
Is characterized by gaps or interruptions
in the values that it can assume.
Exp: No of admissions.
No of decayed teeth per child.

b) Continuous V (Measurable):
can assume any value within a specified relevant interval of values.
Exp: Age. Blood Sugar. Height. Weight

II. Qualitative (Nominal) Variable:
- Some characteristics are not
capable of being measured in
the sense, and can be categorized
only.
