Statistical studies are not concerned with understanding the sources of variability in​ data, only with describing the variability in the data. True or false?

Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Current statistical studies are modern and have a wealth of analysis tools and software to understand the data. Statistics has a wide range of objectives, which aim not only to understand the variability of the data, but also its origin and motivation. For example, if an election poll shows a variation from a previous poll, statisticians will seek to understand the causes of these variability and not just present the variation in the data.
