- Statistics is the scientific application of mathematical principles to the collection, analysis, and presentation of numerical data. Statisticians apply their mathematical and statistical knowledge to the design of surveys and experiments; the collection, processing, and analysis of data; and the interpretation of the experiment and survey results. Opinion polls, statements of accuracy on scales and other measuring devises, and information about average earnings in an occupation are all usually the work of statisticians.

- Statistics concerns what can be learned from data. Applied statistics comprises a body of methods for data collection and analysis across the whole range of science, and in areas such as engineering, medicine, business, and law — wherever variable data must be summarized, or used to test or confirm theories, or to inform decisions. Theoretical statistics underpins this by providing a framework for understanding the properties and scope of methods used in applications.
