Statistics analyzes numerical data to find patterns and draw conclusions. Measures of central tendency describe the "center" of data: Mean (average) = sum of values ÷ number of values; Median = middle value when data is sorted (resistant to extreme outliers); Mode = most frequently occurring value. Measures of spread: Range = max − min; Interquartile range (IQR) = Q3 − Q1 (middle 50% spread). Probability measures likelihood of events: P(event) = favorable outcomes ÷ total outcomes; ranges from 0 (impossible) to 1 (certain). Key displays: histogram (frequency distribution), box plot (five-number summary), scatter plot (relationship between two variables). Statistics powers decisions in medicine, business, science, sports analytics, and public policy.
