Definition of STATISTICS

1: a branch of mathematics dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of masses of numerical data

2: a collection of quantitative data

All past tense there- straight from Merriam Webster.
Oh the irony of the english, but there is nothing past tense in there....
The article is nice, but the statistic class I took would disagree. As odds a very much involved and a part of statistics. I wish it was easy as gathering, looking at, and showing data to people lol.

Before arguing this anymore, why is this the subject? The data I provided is not in the past, it is simply a list of all possible outcomes. I fail to see where you are going with this.
