Statistics vocabulary

Question

I have to write a speech in Spanish about a statistical investigation. Could anyone please suggest basic words or phrases in both Spanish and English(such as after further investigation...) that I could use to write my investigation. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

As Qfreed had alluded to earlier, it will be a bit difficult to give you specific terms without knowing what aspect or type of statistical analysis, specifically, you were wanting to write about; however, here are a couple of references that might help you get started.

Answer 3

Could you provide some example words that you are looking for? Basic statistical words like sum, norm, average, deviation, variance, standard deviation, bell shaped curves, normal distribution, frequency, etc. or are you looking for more advanced vocabulary?

Also, by investigation, do you mean do a statistical analysis?
