Working with Stats


How Much Data do you think you generate in one day?
Data is everywhere in the world today, with GPS on our phones we are constantly being tracked, the internet monitors how often you’re online, Facebook and Twitter know all the latest gossip before you, and Google knows what you’re about to ask within just a few letters. Yet it’s scary to think how normal this is for us. The idea that someone out there is receiving all this information about you. History has shown that statistics can tell if someone is going to become ill before there are even any signs.
However, statistic are an amazing thing that scientists use all the time for example this was how doctors discovered the relationship between smoking and lung cancer.
