We will spend the next few weeks study basic statistics.

Statistics is a branch of mathematics that involves collecting, organizing, interpreting, presenting, and analyzing data. Based on studies of data obtained, people are able to draw conclusions, make decisions, and plan wisely.

We talk about different ways of collecting data, including taking measurement in experiments, observing outcomes of events, conducting surveys, and reading statistical publications.

We further look at dot plots to represent data collected.
