A limitation of statistics is that statistics deals with only numerical or quantitative data.

• Statistics requires numerical data, which means qualities or non-numerical facts cannot be analyzed unless they are converted into numbers.

Here are a few other limitations of statistics:

• Statistics does not study individuals: It focuses on aggregates of data rather than individual items.
• Statistics can be misused: Statistical methods can be manipulated to support biased conclusions if not used carefully.
• Statistics is only one method of studying a problem: It does not provide a complete solution.
