Question

The methods of statistics follow a process. Place the processes in the correct order:

Identify the research objective, Perform interference, Describe the data, Collect the data needed to Answer Research question

Answer 1

For any statistical research for checking or testing the hypothesis or claim, we first establish the research objective or research question. Once we know the research question, then we collect the sample data from corresponding population. After collecting sample data by using proper sampling methods, we describe the data in a statistical way. Then after, we perform statistical tests of inference to drawing conclusions regarding the hypothesis.

The statistical processes in the correct order are given as below:

1) Identify the research objective

2) Collect the data needed to answer research question

3) Describe the data

4) Perform interference
