Some important concepts are given below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h3>1.) Mean, Median, Mode<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mean, median, and mode are 3 measures of central tendency in statistics. These parameters help to find the averages or trends of any data.

Standard Deviation and Variance<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This statistical concept means that the standard deviation shows how much the data values spread out from the average.

Linear Regression<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is another essential concept of stats for graduate students. Linear regression is used to guess the value of one variable based on the values of another. The predicted variable is called dependent, and the other one is called independent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Linear regression can be found using the following formula:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Y = bx + a<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Predicted value of Y<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">b = slope\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a = y-intercept<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>4.) Hypothesis Testing<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hypothesis testing is used to determine whether the results of an experiment are meaningful or not. It consists of the null and alternative hypotheses, and these 2 are always mutually exclusive. Its result tells us whether we reject or not the null hypothesis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Its formula depends on the data type.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t or z =\u00a0x\u0304 \u2212\u03bc \/ \u03c3 \u221a n.<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cx\u0304\u201d\u00a0is the sample mean,\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c\u03bc\u201d\u00a0is the population mean,\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c\u03c3\u201d\u00a0is the population standard deviation,\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cn\u201d is the sample size.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h3>5.) Skewness<\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It indicates how symmetrical the numbers are.\u00a0 This measure is in the shape of a bell curve. We can calculate this by using the equation below:\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skewness = 3(mean-median)\/standard deviation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning these concepts doesn\u2019t mean you need to become a statistician. It means knowing how to use them in the real world to support your decisions.<\/span><\/p><h2><b>How to Develop Statistical Thinking<\/b><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Developing statistical thinking means learning to approach problems using data and evidence.
