In the descriptive world of statistics we proceed from the first quick impression, the first vague notions to as set of simple measures. We want to know how ... we want to know how dispersed our observations are; we want to know if they follow any defined, and perhaps meaningful, pattern.Knowing these things we sometimes are able to talk about an underlying process that might be generating these items which we observe and measure.
