The word “statistic” comes from the word “state” because it was the primary function of the governments of the states to establish registers of population, births, deaths, etc. Nowadays most people understand by statistics the set of data, tables, and graphs, which are usually used to conclude things of interest. At present, statistics are understood as a method for making decisions. Hence it is used in many studies such as those carried out in the field of international business. There are computer programs (including spreadsheets) that allow us to process information for results that help to export and import companies to plan their business.
