Statistics
Statistics is a branch of applied
mathematics that involves the
collection, description, analysis, and
inference of conclusions from
quantitative data. The mathematical
theories behind statistics rely heavily on
differential and integral calculus, linear
algebra, and probability theory.

People who do statistics are referred to

as statisticians. They're particularly
concerned with determining how to
draw reliable conclusions about large
groups and general events from the
behavior and other observable
characteristics of small samples. These
small samples represent a portion of the
large group or a limited number of
instances of a general phenomenon.
 Data Analysis
Data analysis is the practice of
working with data to glean
useful information, which can
then be used to make informed
decisions.
"It is a capital mistake to
theorize before one has data.
Insensibly one begins to twist
facts to suit theories, instead of
theories to suit facts," Sherlock
Holme's proclaims in Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle's A Scandal in
Bohemia.
This idea lies at the root of data
analysis. When we can extract
meaning from data, it
empowers us to make better
decisions. And we’re living in a
time when we have more data
than ever at our fingertips.
Companies are wisening up to
the benefits of leveraging data.
Data analysis can help a bank to
personalize customer
interactions, a health care
system to predict future health
needs, or an entertainment
company to create the next big
streaming hit.
 Descriptive Statistics
Descriptive statistics are brief
informational coefficients that
summarize a given data set,
which can be either a
representation of the entire
population or a sample of a
population. Descriptive
statistics are broken down into
measures of central tendency
and measures of variability
(spread). Measures of central
tendency include the mean,
median, and mode, while
measures of variability include
standard deviation, variance,
minimum and maximum
variables, kurtosis, and
skewness.
Descriptive statistics, in short, help
describe and understand the
features of a specific data set by
giving short summaries about the
sample and measures of the data.
The most recognized types of
descriptive statistics are
measures of center: the mean,
median, and mode, which are
used at almost all levels of math
and statistics. The mean, or the
average, is calculated by adding
all the figures within the data set
and then dividing by the number
of figures within the set.
 Graph

Graph, pictorial representation of statistical data or of a

functional relationship between variables. Graphs have the
advantage of showing general tendencies in the quantitative
behaviour of data, and therefore serve a predictive function. As
mere approximations, however, they can be inaccurate and
sometimes misleading.
