Statistics
It involves the collection, presentation, description, and interpretation of numerical data gathered without
making any conclusions, predictions or inferences about a larger set.
It also includes summarizing of gathered data by describing the mean or average and the minimum and
maximum
The main goal is simply to provide a description of a particular data set for which the important
characteristics apply only to the data at hand.

make a prediction and inferences based on the available information gathered

The Summation Notation ∑ (sigma) is used to denote the sum of values. It can be written as follows:
∑ x i=x 1 + x 2+ x 3 + x 4 + x 5
i=1
