If you don’t know by now, I love statistics. So when I research dates, times, places, sales, visits, ratios etc. I can use this information to measure value against other outcomes. I am very impressed with statistics we dont have direct control over, such as how fast the earth rotates or how many babies are born in a town in a year.
Trends are information of a general direction. Sales of a musician’s record show a trend in a given direction. What goes up must come down. Take the artist Gene Pitney. Gene Pitney had trends with his music.
