Read this excerpt: "Actually, time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I fee

l that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity."

What is the best definition of statistics?
alexira [117]

Answer:

facts based on numbers

Explanation:

The best definition of statistics is that it's facts that are typically based on numbers i.e numerical data. The main purpose of statistics or statistical analysis is to gather, analyze and summarize data so as to draw an inference about a data set.

Descriptive statistics is a summary statistics that focuses on analyzing, describing, or explaining the characteristics of data contained in a population or obtained as a sample.

On the other hand, inferential statistics is solely based on drawing an inference from a sample or population and as such making predictions using the data.

A random variable is often used in statistics and probability, is a variable that has its possible values as numerical outcomes of a random experiment or phenomenon. It is usually denoted by a capital letter, such as X.

In statistics and probability, random variables are either continuous or discrete.

1. A continuous random variable is a variable that has its possible values as an infinite value, meaning it cannot be counted.

Example are the height of a randomly selected person, time it take to move from Texas to New York city, etc.

2. A discrete random variable is a variable that has its possible values as a finite value, meaning it can be counted.

Examples are the number of light bulbs that burn out in the next year in a room with 19 bulbs, the number of chicken in a district etc.
