Statistics includes the study of methods for data collection, analysis, and interpretation, and principles of experimental design. Statistics can be used to create a mathematical model of a real world system and discover whether the fluttering of a butterfly’s wing in the Amazon can cause a tornado in the East Indies. It allows people to predict patterns of societal behaviour, understand the stock markets, and build models of national economies.
