What Statistics course is all about
Statistics is the study of the collection, organisation, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data. It deals with all aspects of this, including the planning of data collection in terms of the design of surveys and experiments. A statistician is someone who is particularly well versed in the ways of thinking necessary for the successful application of statistical methods.
Such people have often gained experience by working in a wide number of fields. There is also a discipline called mathematical statistics that studies statistics mathematically.
What do statisticians do The world is becoming quantitative. More and more professions, from every day to the exotic, depending on data and numerical reasoning. Data are not just numbers, but numbers that carry information about a specific setting and need to be interpreted in that setting.
