Statistical analysis is a way of looking at data to try to find patterns and draw conclusions. It involves collecting data, organizing it, and then performing calculations and analyses to gain information. Basically, it is a way to summarize data and make it easier to understand the meaning. Statistical analysis can be used to measure, describe, compare, and predict data. For example, it can tell you the average age of a group of people or the percent of people who like a certain product.
