What to Focus On

  • Statistics originally meant information about the political state.
  • In olden days, statistics was used for tax collection and state administration.
  • Statistics became an independent science over time.
  • In plural sense, statistics means data.
  • Data is the plural of datum.

  • Bowley stressed numerical statements placed in relation to each other.
  • Yule and Kendall stressed quantitative data affected by many causes.
  • Secrist gave the most comprehensive definition.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Statistics means only numerical data, so the subject is just about collecting numbers.

Any numerical fact is statistics, including a single person's weight or income.

All facts are statistics, even if they are not numerical.
