11. Why you should study STATISTICS? 11 1. Students as well as the professional people, must be able to read and understand the various statistical studies performed in their fields. To have this understanding, they must be knowledgeable about the vocabulary, symbols, concepts, and statistical procedures used in these studies. 2. Students and professional people may be called on to conduct research in their fields, since statistical procedures are basic to research studies. To accomplish this, they must be able to design experiments; collect, organize, analyze, and summarize data; and possibly make reliable predictions or forecasts for future use. They must also be able to communicate the results of the study in their own words. 3. Students and professional people can also use the knowledge gained from studying statistics to become better consumers and citizens. For example, they can make intelligent decisions about what products to purchase based on consumer studies about government spending based on utilization studies, budget, expenses and so on.
