What is Statistics?

Statistics is not really a new subject. It has been existence since the earliest man on earth.

The earliest tribes have been using statistics in keeping records of the:

  • No. of individuals in their tribes
  • No. of animals they have
  • No. of enemies they killed and other similar data.

The early astronomers, through careful observations and accurate recordings of data were able to predict the changing courses of the stars and other heavenly bodies.

Statistics is a branch of mathematics which deals with the collection, organization, analysis and interpretation of numerical data which maybe used for prediction and verification of relationships among variables.
