No, not always. It depends on the type of data you collect. If it is quantitative data, you will be able to calculate a mean. If it is qualitative data, a mean can't be calculated but you can describe the data in terms of a mode.
The word empirical denotes information gained by means of observation, experience, or experiment.
Statistics is used to design the experiment (what type of data needs to be obtained and how much), then statistics is used to analyze the data (make inferences and draw conclusions).
This may seem confusing, but I'll try. When you collect data from a sample, you have to determine if the differences you found is so great that it is statistically significant in the population (whole). Differences will occur in data, but if they are not considered significant they are not useful. You would run certain inferential tests to see if something is significant. The test you run depends on the type of data you collect.
An evolutionary biologist is least likely to collect data by doing controlled experiments. Evolutionary biologists study living organisms through the lens of evolutionary theory.
Scientists typically organize their data into a graph by choosing the appropriate type of graph (such as line, bar, or scatter plot) based on the nature of the data. They then plot the independent variable on the x-axis and the dependent variable on the y-axis, ensuring each data point is accurately represented. Finally, they may add labels, titles, and legends to clearly communicate the relationship being shown in the graph.
A GPS device is an example of a technology used to collect location data.

The US Geological Survey does not typically collect personal, confidential, or proprietary data. They focus on collecting and studying geological, geophysical, hydrological, and biological data for public use and research purposes.
In a science experiment, a survey can be used to collect data from participants on their opinions, behaviors, or experiences related to the research topic. Surveys can help scientists gather information about a large group of people efficiently and provide quantitative data for analysis and interpretation in the experiment.
