Show transcript
A statistic is a piece of factual data gathered from a large quantity of numerical data.
Statistics can make a writer’s arguments seem credible because their opinion is backed up with factual data.
Writers show that their statistics are credible by including things like the source and date of the data they refer to.
You can invent your own credible statistics in pieces of writing where you are not expected to conduct research.
