Continuous Data represents measurements and therefore their values can’t be counted but
they can be measured. An example would be the height of a person, which
you can describe by using intervals on the real number line.
The evolution of statistics was, in particular, intimately connected with the development of
European states following the peace of Westphalia (1648), and with the development
of probability theory, which put statistics on a firm theoretical basis. The earliest book on
statistics is the 9th-century treatise Manuscript on Deciphering Cryptographic Messages, written
by Arab scholar Al-Kindi (801–873). In his book, Al-Kindi gave a detailed description of how to
use statistics and frequency analysis to decipher encrypted messages.
USES: 1) Statistics helps in providing a better understanding and exact
description of a phenomenon of nature.
(2) Statistics helps in the proper and efficient planning of a statistical inquiry in
any field of study.
(3) Statistics helps in collecting appropriate quantitative data.
(4) Statistics helps in presenting complex data in a suitable tabular,
diagrammatic and graphic form for easy and clear comprehension of the data.
For a data set, the arithmetic mean, also called the expected value or average, is the central
value of a discrete set of numbers: specifically, the sum of the values divided by the number of
values. The arithmetic mean of a set of numbers x1, x2, ..., xn is typically denoted by x(bar)
In statistics and probability theory, a median is a value separating the higher half from the lower
half of a data sample, a population or a probability distribution. For a data set, it may be thought
of as "the middle" value. The basic advantage of the median in describing data compared to
the mean (often simply described as the "average") is that it is not skewed so much by a small
proportion of extremely large or small values, and so it may give a better idea of a "typical"
value.
The mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data values.[1] If X is a discrete random
variable, the mode is the value x (i.e, X = x) at which the probability mass function takes its
maximum value. In other words, it is the value that is most likely to be sampled.
OTHER FORMS, PIE CHART: A pie chart shows the relative proportions of data in different
categories. Pie charts are excellent ways of displaying categorical data with easily separable
groups.

GST:
Goods and Services Tax (GST) is an indirect tax (or consumption tax) used in India on the
supply of goods and services. It is a comprehensive, multistage, destination-based tax:
comprehensive because it has subsumed almost all the indirect taxes except a few state taxes.
Goods and services are divided into five different tax slabs for collection of tax - 0%, 5%, 12%,
18% and 28%. However, petroleum products, alcoholic drinks, and electricity are not taxed under
GST and instead are taxed separately by the individual state governments, as per the previous
tax system.
