The Chinese word 统计 (tǒngjì) for "statistics" is a compound of two characters: 统 (tǒng) and 计 (jì). The character 统 (tǒng) means "to unify" or "to control", while the character 计 (jì) means "to calculate" or "to plan". Together, the two characters 统计 (tǒngjì) mean "to unify and calculate" or "to control and plan". This meaning is reflected in the use of the word 统计 (tǒngjì) in Chinese, where it is used to refer to the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data in order to make informed decisions.
