Passage 4 There were two widely divergent influences on the early development of statistical methods Statistics had a mother who was dedicated to keeping orderly records of governmental units (state and statistics come from the same Latin root, status) and a gentlemanly gambling father who relied on mathematics to increase his skill at playing the odds in games of chance. The nfluence of the mother on the offspring, statistics, is represented by counting, measuring, describing, tabulating, ordering, and the taking of censuses(13??ey X?)aall of which led to modern descriptive statistics. From the influence of the father came modern inferential statistics which is based squarely on theories of probability. Descriptive statistics involves tabulating, depicting(?e??), and describing collections of data. These data may be quantitative, such as measures of height, intelligence, or grade level f-variables that are characterized by an under lying continuum f -or the data may represent qualitative variables, such as sex, college ma jor, or personality type. Large masses of data must generally undergo a process of summarization or reduction before they are comprehensible. Descriptive statistics is a tool for describing or summarizing or reducing to comprehensible form the properties of an otherwise unwieldy(?6 ou?) mass of data present great difficulties for the unaided human mind.

Having a little knowledge of statistics, the superintendent would know that it is unnecessary and inefficient to question each child; the proportion for the entire district could be estimated fairly accurately from a sample of as few as 100 children.
