ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sample statistics

Sample statistics are a way of understanding information about a group of things. It's like putting together a puzzle. You take a bunch of pieces and put them together to figure out something new. With sample statistics, you can look at a group of things, like people or numbers, and figure out something new about them. For example, you might look at a group of numbers and figure out what the average or the most common number is. Sample statistics can help you understand the group of things better so you can make decisions about them.
