Question
“All statistics are numerical facts but all numerical facts are not statistics." Explain.

Answer

A single figure is not called statistics. Aggregate of facts is called statistics. It is for a simple reason that a single figure can neither be compared, nor presented nor analyzed. If Ram says that his weight is 56kg, it is not statistics but if he says average weight of his class is 60kg, it is a statistical statement because it is backed by aggregate of facts.
