Question

Iwant exambles about statistics?

Answer 1

I know you want some kind of an answer, so here is a shot, which at least gives you reference to statistics and allows you to consider other references to research.  Statistics is permeated by probability.  Good luck.

Examples

46% of people polled enjoy vanilla, while 54% prefer chocolate (+/-4% margin of error).

A school's graduation has increased by 2%.

A couple has 4 boys, and they are pregnant again: what is the chance of having another boy?

88% of people questioned feel that it is humane to put stray animals to sleep.

These are basic examples of statistics we see everyday, but do we really understand what they mean? With the study of statistics, these 'facts' that we hear everyday can hopefully become a little more clear.

A statistic (singular) is the result of applying a function (statistical algorithm) to a set of data.

Answer 2

This question is WAAAY too general.  What kind of examples do you want?  Examples of how statistics are used, examples of statistical techniques????
