Data Analysis: Descriptive Statistics and Assumption Testing

Descriptive statistics tool will quantitatively summarize or describe data in a sensible way. Sun Coast Remediation data description will involve use of univariate analysis that allow examination of a single variable at a time. Three major characteristics of observing a single variable are central tendency, distribution, and dispersion (Ali & Bhaskar, 2016). In terms of measures of central tendency, the median, mode or mean are used to describe data. In terms of distribution, the frequency of individual or ranges of value for variables is summarized. Data assumptions commonly used in statistical research include assumptions of normality where the distribution of the test assumes a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 1 and mean of zero. Kurtosis and Skewness can be used to test for normal distribution with Kurtosis values and Skewness value should be zero (Norman & Streiner, 2008). Independence of the data is also tested and the typical assumption is that data are independent.
