Understanding Child Development: Physical, Cognitive & Social Growth
Physical Development in Infants and Children
Growth Patterns and Milestones
Infants and children grow at different rates, with the head being proportionally larger at birth and other body parts catching up over time. This growth pattern follows the cephalocaudal principle, where development starts from the head and moves down the body.
Nutrition and Health
Proper nutrition is crucial for healthy development. Malnutrition can lead

Descriptive and Inferential Statistics
Descriptive Statistics
Descriptive statistics involve organizing, summarizing, and presenting data in a meaningful way. This includes measures such as:
- Sample mean (x̄)
- Frequency distributions
- Relative frequency
- Cumulative relative frequency
- Box plots
Inferential Statistics
Inferential statistics involve making conclusions and inferences about a population based on a sample of data. This includes concepts such as:
- Population and sample
- Parameter and statistic
- Variable

Chapter 17: Inferences When Standard Deviation is Unknown
Big Idea: T-Test for Unknown Standard Deviation
The t-test is used when the population standard deviation (SD) is unknown. It has fewer conditions than z-tests for inferences about a mean:
- Data is a simple random sample (SRS) from a larger population.
- Observations follow a normal distribution.
- We estimate standard error using s / √n, where s is the sample SD and √n accounts for the variability of sample means.
