A sample, which is a segment of the relevant population, permits generalizing to the population. The members of the sample are called observational units; they may be persons, groups of persons such as families or cities, or they may be objects or events. When samples of data are summarized into tables or numerical indices, the methodology is called deSCriptive statistics; when summary values are used to make generalizations about the population, the methodology is called inferential statistics.
The household is identified by its address, and the occupational category of the primary householder is recorded. The variable observed is occupation; the observational units are households. Perhaps the simplest kind of summary for this type of data is made by providing a list showing the number of times each category occurs in the list, that is, the frequency of each category. This is done by first writing down a list of the categories. 1 we enter a tally for the category to which the householder belongs.
