Statistical notation is a system of symbols and abbreviations used to represent data, variables, and mathematical operations in statistics. It helps simplify complex concepts, making it easier to communicate findings and perform calculations. Common symbols include μ for the population mean, σ for the population standard deviation, and n for sample size. In addition to these symbols, statistical notation often includes subscripts and superscripts to indicate specific values or operations. For example, x̄ represents the sample mean, while p denotes the proportion in a sample. This standardized language allows statisticians to share and interpret data efficiently.
