Noun

1.

statistics - a branch of applied mathematics concerned with the collection and interpretation of quantitative data and the use of probability theory to estimate population parameters

(statistics, mathematics)

statistics - The practice, study or result of the application of mathematical functions to collections of data in order to summarise or extrapolate that data. The subject of statistics can be divided into descriptive statistics - describing data, and analytical statistics - drawing conclusions from data.
