Statistics

Statistics involves the gathering and organisation of data and information.

Data is collected and then processed. It can be displayed using graph and listed in tables. Calculations can be made to summarise the data. Finally the data is presented, discussed and conclusions are made.

Statistics are often used to help to show or prove something. When this happens an investigation or survey is often carried out.
