Because "a single data point" isn't statistics. You have to have more than one data point for it to be statistics, and then one single data point of those many data points become important.Eric StevensTony CooperSandman
All statistics start with one data point.
And no statistics consist of one data point.
You are bluffing. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_point"In statistics, a data point or observation is a set of one or more measurements on a single member of a statistical population."Single data points are as much a part of statistics as is a cloud of data points.Sandman
See how you had to make it plural to make the sentence work?"A single data point is as much part of statistics as is a cloud of data points"Just doesn't work.Eric Stevens
Please explain why.
Ironic. As I've said before, I reply with "Incorrect" when you repeat an incorrect statement to which I have already given an explanation before.Eric StevensSandmanSandmanEric Stevens
Incorrect. As long as you have one datapoint, the data is worthless, statistically.
(a) not necessarily and (b) even if the data is worthless it does not make it any less a part of statistics.
Incorrect.
Simple denial without explanation. I don't think you know much about statistics.
