Statistics? Use statistics as background or
supporting information and to add weight to your research.

Statistics are a presentation-ready form of data.
Statistics represent a method of presenting numerical
data. They are obtained through mathematical
operations on numerical data. Statistics are usually presented in form of tables, charts, graphs etc.
