Statistics is the body of scientific methodology that deals with the logic of experiment and survey design, the efficient collection and presentation of quantitative information, and the formulations of valid and reliable inferences from sample data. Statisticians often work in conjunction with professionals from fields as biology, economics, engineering, medicine, public health, psychology, marketing, education, and sports.

Statistical procedures based on scientific sampling have become basic tools in diverse fields as weather forecasting, opinion polling, biological and agricultural estimation, and business trend prediction. Statisticians are in demand wherever quantitative studies are conducted.
