I have a class project that I am working on as an engineering student but the course is probability and statistics so I don't really know how to make sense or use of what I am learning so I thought of asking for help.
I am currently working on a project and I want to ask for generic help with what to use based on what I have learned in class and how to make sense of what I am using.
Without further adou:
I have a column that has roughly 1000 rows.
The values in the row range from 500 to 1000.
So for example:
1000 987 878 679 612 501 500 467 678 546 659 908
The values above represent the amount of water in a container. The water is never allowed to go below 500 Liters or above 1000 Liters so it is bounded between 500 and 1000.
I have learned Normal distribution in class, sampling methods, hypothesis testing, standard deviation, variances, Central Limit Theorem, Point Estimators and Confidence Intervals.
Now using what I learned in class, what methods listed above should I use to make sense of the data I have obtained? I honestly don't really know for my application of water in a container what I can use to explain my data.
Basically, the water in a container is being monitored by sensors which tell how much water in Liters the container has and that is the data I showed in the column. It is the job of a person to go and refill the water when it is getting near 500 Liters.
How can I use my statistics and what do they really mean or show in this context?
Some of you may be confused with what I wrote so please feel free for elborations. Thank you for helping me understand what I am learning in class as an application.
