Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Professor Schmidt will use descriptive statistics to organize her data, which includes measures of central tendency (such as mean, median, and mode) and measures of spread (such as range and standard deviation). These statistics will help her summarize the data and identify any patterns or relationships. Inferential statistics and correlation coefficients are used to make inferences beyond the sample data, while measures of variation focus on how spread out the data is around the central tendency.
