Introduction
Descriptive statistics is normally used to normally assess the basic characteristics of the data. It will also provide basic summary statistics from the sample to represent the population. Together with simple graphics analysis, the descriptive statistics helps us to determine the distribution the variables used in the data 8th to 14th August 2016. A random sample of 75 data was then, taken from these dataset
The sample size for dataset 1 is 1000 and the sample size for dataset 2 is 75. This is normally used to validate the central limit theorem. When a large enough sample is taken, the averages of the sample values will form a distribution that will approach that of a normal distribution. This is the Central Limit Theorem at work. “If the population from which samples are taken is not normal, the distribution of sample means will tend toward normality provided that the sample size, n, is at least 4. This tendency gets better and better as the sample size gets larger.”
Data Collection Procedure
The dataset for the first sample was taken from the license of Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia, an NSW government site. This dataset is an example of secondary data collection. Here, the researcher is not collecting the data on his own by meeting the sample individuals using primary investigation method and, he collects the data using a reliable government website in which the information was already updated for their primary purpose. Therefore, this sample selection is an example of secondary data collection.

Dataset 2
The dataset for the second sample was taken from the license of Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Australia, an NSW government site. This dataset is an example of secondary data collection. Here, the researcher is not collecting the data on his own by meeting the sample individuals using primary investigation method and, he collects the data using a reliable government website in which the information was already updated for their primary purpose. Therefore, this sample selection is an example of secondary data collection. The dataset was collected for the time period of 8th to 14th August 2016. Once the data was collected, simple random sampling procedure was used to select 75 cases from the data that was originally gathered from the government site
