Every business needs a statistician to analyse its growth — formulation statistics to draw conclusions on which aspects help it grow, how to improve sales or how its customers are feeling about it and probable estimates of investment needed.

The most senior statisticians work for the government advising the steps to be taken to improve the situations in the fields of population, education, health, employment and trade and commerce.

The government and the pharmaceutical industry depend on the statistics formulated by teams of statisticians, and as a simple statistical conclusion gives life to thousands of sick people so does an innocent omission of some data kill thousands of the same sick people!
