Statistics is a branch of applied mathematics, which mainly uses probability theory to establish mathematical models, collect data from observation systems, make quantitative analysis and summary, infer and predict, and provide basis and reference for relevant decisions.

Statistics is divided into three major professional directions: mathematical statistics, economic statistics and applied statistics.

The gap between the direction of mathematical statistics and the direction of economic statistics is not very big. Mathematical statistics mainly studies the basic theories and methods of statistics. Economic statistics is a science that provides scientific investigation, collects economic information, describes and analyzes economic data, and predicts and supervises the social and economic operation process. Applied statistics is mainly to investigate and collect the data information of the observed object, analyze the characteristics of the observed object through descriptive statistics and other technologies, find out the law of things, predict and supervise, so as to realize the benign operation of social economy.
