In statistics, a data point is a set of measurements on a single member of a statistical population, or a subset of those measurements for a given individual. In addition, in statistical graphics, a "data point" may be an individual item with a statistical display; such points may relate to either a single member of a population or to a summary statistic calculated for a given subpopulation.
