Statistics is a mathematical science pertaining to collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data as well as drawing valid conclusions and making reasonable decisions on the basis of such analysis.
In a narrower sense the term is used to denote the data themselves or numbers derived from data as, for example, averages. Thus we speak of employment statistics, accident statistics, etc.
It is applicable to a wide variety of academic disciplines from the physical and social sciences to the humanities, as well as to business, government, medicine and industry.
