  2. 1) It is about analyzing numerical data to tell us about the "big picture" - whether there are more cars than motorcycles, whether there's more dust in the air during noon etc.
    2) We can study statistics to decide the best option for us.

  6. 1) Explain what do you think Statistics is all about?
    -I think Statistics is all about extracting the numerical value of a data and study it to make sense out of the data.
    2) How can you apply Statistics in your decision making?
    -Firstly, I have to describe the data, produce it and lastly draw a conclusion from the data that we have gathered. This will enable us to improve our lives such as to use it to investigate on problems and come up with solutions to solve them.
