Explanation

Statistical analysis is used to detect steganography. Steganography is the technique of hiding information within another information, such as embedding a secret message in an image, audio, or video file. Statistical analysis is a method of examining the characteristics and patterns of the data, such as the frequency, distribution, and correlation of the values. Statistical analysis can reveal anomalies or deviations from the expected or normal behavior of the data, which may indicate the presence of hidden information. For example, statistical analysis can compare the histogram of an image file with and without steganography, and detect any significant changes in the color or brightness values.
