First sentence: When analyzing numerical data, subject to random uncertainty, which have been collected in some scientific or real-life context, the first "golden rule" is to study the data, for example, using dotplots, bivariate scatterplots, relative frequency histograms, and contingency tables, before applying any formal statistical technique.
