The Power of Exploratory and Descriptive Statistics

Exploratory statistics is the first stage of data analysis, involving techniques to explore and understand the patterns and relationships within data. It helps researchers identify trends, outliers, and potential hypotheses for further investigation.

Descriptive statistics, on the other hand, provides a concise summary of data, using measures such as mean, median, mode, and standard deviation. These measures help researchers describe the central tendencies and spread of data, making it easier to compare and draw s.
