Statistical decisions are about making a judgment and then expressing how confident you are in this judgment. Statistical analysis calculates confidence in decisions you reach, rather than just asking a reader to trust you. The first thing you need to decide is what sort of statistical decision you want to make. For example, you might want to see how variables relate to each other, such as whether shoe size relates to height. Or you might want to judge whether numbers in one set of data are bigger or smaller than numbers in another set of data (KwikiFixSkills, 2016).
