statistics
The whole point of statistics is that when we get multiple people or objects we can find out more than we can with only one individual piece of data.
We can use data to answer questions. When we have a lot of data it can be difficult to see patterns in it just by looking at the numbers. But by drawing a graph we can get an idea of the distribution of the data. We can use the graph to analyse the data to answer questions and communicate our findings.
