Welcome to the playlist on statistics, something I've been meaning to do for some time.

So anyway, I just want to get right into the meat of it.

In very general terms, it's getting your head around data.

And it can broadly be classified into maybe three categories.

You have descriptive, so say you have a lot of data and you wanted to tell someone about it without giving them all of the data.

Maybe you can find indicative numbers that somehow represent all of that data without having to go over all the data.

So that would be descriptive statistics.

There's also predictive.
