what do you mean by statistics???
Answers
statistics.
Branch of mathematics concerned with collection, classification, analysis, and interpretation of numerical facts, for drawing inferences on the basis of their quantifiable likelihood (probability). Statistics can interpret aggregates of data too large to be intelligible by ordinary observation because such data (unlike individual quantities) tend to behave in regular, predictable manner. It is subdivided into descriptive statistics and inferential statistics.
Statistics
Statistics has well known definitions for it . However, it always appealed to me as somewhat different from Mathematics yet not.
Let me explain. Mathematics is exact, Statistics is not a collection of rules but developing those from actual data. It studies the Error where as there is no place of Error in Mathematics. In Mathematics, it says, Y= Mx + C is a Straight line and it always is. But try to plot an exact straight line with an ‘observed’ sample of pairs ( x,y) from a real life situation.
You will come up with points on the plot which are off from the line and not all fall on the line they should. So, there is an error factor due to the fact of actual observations. You study the errors and then find the desired line. That's the beauty of Statistics, it allows one to study the Error in a situation. Planning, studying, analyzing, data and its inherent randomness, chance factor, uncertainty etc make up the world of Statistics.
But, there is a catch. You got to have some Mathematics background to dig deep into this Mysterious Subject called Statistics.
Hope this may help you and be the brainliest ..
