IntroductionI am provided with volume of exportsfrom United Statesfor the year 2013 for various partners(other countries).DataThere are two general types of data, qualitative and quantitative data.Categoricalvariables come under the category of Qualitative data. While data which can be measured onnumeric scale that is they are represented as numbers comes under the category of quantitativedata.Here, the data isQuantitative as it deals with numbers which can be measured.Ratio scales are similar to interval scales in that equal differences between scale valueshave equal quantitativemeaning. But ratio scales also have a true zero point. Here the data ismeasured on ratio scale of measurement.A population consists of everything being studied to draw useful inferences. Populationsare generally large in size. A random sample based on which one draws inferences is taken froma population. A sample is a group of units selected (generally randomly) from population ofinterest so as to draw valid conclusions about population. The sample is a representative of thepopulation.
