The first forms of early data were in the form of tally or tick marks. These were collected in order to keep track or record inventories such as food for ancient civilizations. Later the abacus was invented to help with the calculations of such records. Then, other data related to astrological studies and time-keeping resulted in scientific discoveries. Ultimately, as more forms of data were discovered, the need for tools to collect, analyze, and store it also quickly resulted—even in the earliest of times of data history.

Statistics is a subset of mathematics dealing with data collection, analysis and presentation. This short story aims to provide the reader with background information about the origin of statistics.
However, the interpretation of the word statistics has changed many times throughout history. In the 16th century, Girolamo Cardano calculates probabilities of different dice rolls. In the 18th century DeMoivre noticed that as the number of coin flips increased, the binomial approached a very smooth curve.
