Data description is one of the first and most important activities in statistics or data analysis. When we have a large amount of data (or even when the volume of data is small) and we want to extract useful information from this data, the first step is to observe and describe the data we have. How the data is distributed, where it is concentrated, how scattered it is, where the outliers are. Viewing, plotting and summarizing data helps us to see the secrets behind these numbers and how they help us identify problems, identify areas for improvement, and take action. Identify work, prevent risks, advance science, help our business and organization progress, and take steps to improve our lives and environment.
