Statistical:
The term "statistical" refers to the branch of mathematics that deals with the collection, analysis, interpretation, presentation, and organization of numerical data. It is concerned with the use of quantitative methods to study, understand, and make inferences from data.
In statistical analysis, data is typically gathered through random sampling or experiments, and is then analyzed using various mathematical and computational techniques. The primary goal of statistical analysis is to draw meaningful conclusions or make informed decisions based on the available data.
Statistical methods enable researchers and analysts to identify patterns, trends, and relationships in data, and to quantify the uncertainty or variability associated with the results. These methods often involve the use of measures such as mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation, as well as probability distributions and hypothesis testing.
Statistical techniques are widely used in areas such as social sciences, economics, business, medicine, psychology, engineering, and marketing research, among others. They provide a systematic and objective approach to understanding and interpreting data, and are essential for making evidence-based decisions and drawing reliable conclusions.
Furthermore, statistical analysis can help uncover underlying patterns or associations that may not be immediately evident, and can also provide insights into the likelihood or probability of future events or outcomes. Overall, statistical methods play a crucial role in enhancing our understanding of the world and improving the quality of decision-making in various fields.

The word "statistical" comes from the noun "statistics", which in turn derives from the German word "Statistik". The term "Statistik" was coined by the German mathematician Gottfried Achenwall in the 18th century, and it is based on the Italian word "statistico", meaning "of the state" or "political". The Italian term originated from "stato" meaning "state" or "status" and is related to Latin "status". Over time, the word "statistics" evolved to encompass the study and collection of data, particularly numerical data related to various aspects of society and populations. The adjective form "statistical" emerged to describe anything related to statistics and probability.
