statistics

The study of percentages, bars, graphs, and charts, all in an attempt to make some sort of logical conclusion out of a bunch of numbers so that even more percentages, bars, graphs, and charts can be made.

Statistics may not be of practical use in everyday life, unless you own a casino.
