We present a case study, in the context of Didactics of Mathematics, in which we adopt the methodology of using fictitious data in the Statistical Implicative Analysis. On the one hand, unlike supplementary variables, the fact of adding fictitious data to the sample does modify analyses results, so caution is needed. On the other hand, fictitious students are a tool for better understanding the data structure resulting from the analyses.
