- 10. algebra, calculus, number theory, probability theory, game theory, data collection and sampling methods, and statistical modelling.
- 13. a term that describes how a score compares to other scores from the same set
- 15. a data point that differs significantly from other observations.
- 16. computer experiments that involve creating data

- 1. the process of drawing conclusions about an underlying population based on a sample or subset of the data.
- 3. an experiment or trial is any procedure that can be infinitely repeated and has a well-defined set of possible outcomes, known as the sample space.
- 5. The use of a controlled study is the most effective way of establishing causality between variables.
- 6. the mean, the median, and the mode.
- 7. Whereas statistics is more about how we handle various data using different techniques

- 12. the difference between predicted values of y dependent variable and observed values of y
- 14. a statistical measure that expresses the extent to which two variables are linearly related
- 18. a population is a set of similar items or events which is of interest for some question or experiment.
