Rubbish in statistics (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tat

'rubbish' is the definition.
(tat can mean rubbish or poor-quality material)

'in statistics' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'TAT' is hidden within 'statistics'.

(Other definitions for tat that I've seen before include "Inferior articles" , "Tawdry and shabby article" , "Worthless items" , "Shoddy articles" , "Utterly tasteless objects" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
