Descriptive statistics are used to describe the characteristics of datasets. They are leveraged by data analysts to find answers or characteristics of data that aren't immediately or directly answered by analyzing the data alone. In other words, descriptive statistics are used to summarize characteristics of data that are not actually contained or explicitly described by the data. In this course, you will explore descriptive statistical methods, beginning with the purpose and role of descriptive statistics. Then you will dig into measures of central tendency, measures of dispersion, and frequency distribution. Finally, you'll examine percent change, percent difference, and confidence intervals. This course can be used to prepare for CompTIA Data+ (DA0-001) exam.
