Answer

Statistics is the science that collects information for study. The information must be organized and summarized. Then, the information is analyzed and conclusions or answers are drawn. In the end, a measure of confidence for the conclusions or answers must be given.

Work Step by Step

So, you can take conclusions: it's a young group, for exemple. Finally, you must provide a measure of confidence.
