Introduction
The introduction to this data set describes a student's
project in applied statistics. The student collected data on
the number of hours students spend studying per week.
The data was gathered from a survey of 30 students. The
goal is to analyze this data using frequency distributions
and descriptive statistics.

Frequency Distribution: This describes how often different values occur in a
dataset. It's often presented in a table (frequency distribution table) showing
each unique value (or range of values – class intervals) and the number of times
it appears (frequency). Visual representations like histograms or bar charts are
common ways to display frequency distributions.
Relationship between measures:
The mean, median, and mode can provide different perspectives on the "center"
of the data. In a perfectly symmetrical distribution, the mean, median, and
mode are equal. However, in skewed distributions (where the data is not
symmetrically distributed), these measures will differ.
Variance and standard deviation quantify the spread or dispersion of the data.
They are crucial for understanding data variability and comparing the spread of
different datasets.
