Statistics is the [[science]] of [[experimental design]] and [[data analysis]]. People outside the disciplines of [[Probability]] and Statistics often confuse the two areas, but in fact they are distinct. Probability provides the theoretical foundation for statistics, but also deals with other topics as well.

Topics normally covered in statistics subjects include the design of [[experiments]], summarising [[data]], testing [[hypotheses]] (i.e. statistical [[inference]]), and the presentation of results. Some common statistical methods include [[Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)]], and [[Data Mining]].
