What is Statistical Data?



Statistics is the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data. It deals with all aspects of data, including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments.

The word statistics, when referring to the scientific discipline, is singular, as in "Statistics is an art." This should not be confused with the word statistic, referring to a quantity (such as mean or median) calculated from a set of data. Whose plural is statistics ("this statistic seems wrong" or "these statistics are misleading").

Artist Statement: For this assignment, the purpose of design this screen design because this can let the people who love and interesting in travel especially in the certain season. The different colour of the background is represent different of emotion, for example, the colour of the spring season represent romantic and love, summer is passion, autumn is security, and last but not least winter is cool and freedom. I use the previous design in assignment 1, in my opinion, i think the layout is simple and have an easy interact between user and screen. I used tree as my main title because it represent different of season of the tree. There have 4 buttons in the main page, user can click any button which are the symbol of the season. For the concept board used tree as my main character and combine all the colour in one that represent although all the season are cannot  at the same time but it will become something  new look  and different culture race and others also can combine it.
