Why Statistics
Statistics is the science of using data to make decisions
The near future is abundant of data and information available through magazines, news, internet, databases and surveys. There is a huge need of experts able to extract knowledge by this large amount of information.
The Google’s Chief Economist Hal Varian declared:
Today statisticians are fundamental and strategic for business companies, research centers, universities, pharmaceutical laboratories and many other fields. Statisticians decide what data they need to answer a certain question, they analyse real situations, predict trends with a certain degree of confidence, interpret behaviours and then report conclusions.
