Statistics
Statistics is the development and application of methods to collect, analyze, interpret, and learn from data. The study of statistics is crucial in understanding the world around us. All scientific fields rely on statistics to turn data into meaningful information. Good statistical practice relies on comprehensive critical thinking that merges quantitative, mathematical and computer science skills with qualitative forms of thought.
