 Here's another good one. Descriptive statistics. This is simply thinking about, on average, what happens? What is the mean of something? What does the data look like? How is it spread out? Is most of the data like the average? Or is there a lot of data that's not like the average? You are bombarded with data and statistics. Every day, if you read Facebook, if you read the newspaper or magazine or an advertisement, listen to the news, listen to NPR, you are bombarded with statistics. And so it's important to be able to think about that. What does this statistic mean when it's coming to me from some sort of media source? What does it mean to me or my family, my community, my state, my country, my world? And you're going to be using certainly averages, finding means, when you are in the lab.
