Abstract: Abstract The quantitative methods of statistical analysis allow us to transform raw data into useful information by developing numerical summaries, and revealing patterns, relationships, and trends, among others. Probability theory is the foundation on which statistics is built. It provides a means for modeling populations, experiments, and almost anything else that could be considered a random phenomenon. Through these models, one is able to draw inferences about populations, which are based on the examination of only a part of a whole.
