Statistical Enquiry - Classifying Data

Statistics is a branch of mathematics that studies problems by collecting, exploring and finding patterns and relationships among appropriate sets of data, in order to draw conclusions and predict trends.[br][br]Once the problem to be studied is well defined, the next step is collecting data.[br][br]Click the buttons in the app below to discover how to classify data.
