Abstract

The main purpose of this chapter is to present a conceptual and practical overview of some of the basic and advanced statistical tools for analyzing quantitative data. Analyzing quantitative data involves two broad analytical methods that serve two main purposes, which are descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The chapter covers both descriptive and inferential quantitative methods. It covers some of the descriptive statistical methods such as mean, median, mode, variance, standard deviation, and graphical methods (e.g., histograms). It also covers inferential statistical methods such as correlation, simple regression, multiple regression, t-test for two independent samples, t-test for two dependent samples, and analysis of variance (ANOVA).
