This article deals with bringing in frame the basic biostatistical concepts that are significant and convenient in analyzing various types of data observations that includes the types of data, measure of central tendency, measure of dispersion, parametric and non-parametric test. Other parameters, such as the normal distribution, sample size computation, significance level, null and alternate hypothesis, and statistical significance test, are thoroughly discussed with appropriate illustrations.
