In today’s world, massive amounts of data are being generated and collected from satellites, social network sites like Facebook, national surveys, etc. The demand for statistics is increasing faster than ever due to the volume, velocity, and variety of data expansion. Hence, the employment of statisticians is projected to grow 33 percent from 2019 to 2029, much faster than the average for all occupations. Knowledge of statistics provides you with the tools and conceptual basics in quantitative reasoning to extract information intelligently from this sea of data.
Growth is expected to result from the more widespread use of statistical analysis to inform business, healthcare, and policy decisions. Statisticians work in many fields, such as finance, engineering, education, marketing, environment, sports, or any other field that needs data collection, analysis, and interpretation. In particular, government, healthcare, and research and development companies employ many statisticians. Businesses need these statisticians to analyze the increasing volume, velocity, and variety of digital and electronic data.
Statistics is the science of learning from data. It is a way of extracting the nuggets of gold hidden under mountains of data. It is a discipline concerned with collecting, organizing, analyzing, and effectively communicating and presenting large amounts of data to help the decision-making process. It is the heart of any quantitative reasoning required to mark crucial scientific advances and make evidence-based business and public policy decisions.
