Science that employs mathematical concepts and principles in data collection and processing

Any completed survey or research that is in progress must involve some data whose meaning is to be determined. The criterion behind the collection of the data as well as its representation and interpretation employs a good deal of statistics: a science that employs mathematical concepts and principles in data collection and processing. However, “statisticians, not only need mathematical and statistical knowledge, but also modern computing skills as well as the ability to work, listen and communicate with other people” (Milan, and Regan 269). There are several opportunities for statisticians. For example, they can apply the knowledge of statistical methods to fields, such as science and technology, health and medicine, business and industry, sports and education, law and justice. Notwithstanding, many economic, social, political, and military decisions are reached through statistical techniques. Despite these opportunities, the paper explores a career in biostatistics, which uses probability and statistical procedures to analyze the phenomena in the science of life.
