Question
which of the following is the best example of a statistic?
color
hours of sleep
dissatisfaction
mental illness
A statistic is a numerical value that summarizes data. Hours of sleep can be measured numerically (e.g., 6 hours, 8 hours) and used in statistical analysis like calculating averages, standard - deviations etc. Color is a categorical variable, dissatisfaction and mental illness are more qualitative or require complex categorization and may not be as straightforwardly measured numerically for basic statistical purposes as hours of sleep.
