• A. Statistics
• B. Algebra
• C. Arithmetic

Answer 1

The correct option is A Statistics

Relevance of data is to draw a conclusion from a collection of data after analysis.

The branch of mathematics that deals with the study of data collection, presentation, and analysis is called statistics.

For example, the following graph shows the revenue generated by a cafeteria in a day from each food item.


It shows that revenue generated from the burger, pizza and pasta sales in a particular day are $\$500,$ $\$600$ and $\$400$ respectively.

By analyzing the graph, we can infer that revenue generated by pizza sales is maximum.

Other examples where statistics is used to answer the following questions:

1. Which age group is more vulnerable to a specific virus infection?
2. Weather forecasting for a specific area based on variables such as wind speed at different locations around the world.
