Statistics
Statisticians are interested in the collection and interpretation of information, and their skills are highly valued in all areas of science, government, business and industry. When biomedical researchers use clinical trials to investigate the efficacy of new treatments, or when a business checks the quality of items manufactured in a facility, they use statistics to enhance the validity of their inferences.
