Today, we're having our first discussion of our four part series about statistics with Dr Shannon Morrison. 

In this episode, we discuss the following topics:

• types of data (quantitative vs qualitative)
• descriptive statistics (measures of central tendency and measures of variability)
• Central Limit Theorem
• hypothesis testing
• type I and type II error
• p-values 
• parametric and non-parametric tests for data analysis
