Statistics is a very important science in people's everyday lives since with it

we can maintain proper control of many things from the simplest to the most complex,
In addition, you have to describe, organize, and summarize numerical data as a foundation, activities,

Moreover, the main function of statistics is the collection and grouping of diverse data.

How statistics relates to other sciences.

Statistics With Accounting

Statistics analyze facts, but it would be of no use to apply their method if there were a lack of information.

the future events.

Accounting has a branch that has statistics as its main tool, this branch is the

Statistics with Psychology.

Statistics is important in psychology because it allows for extracting and summarizing useful information from the

observations that are made, the psychologist must base their decisions on limited data and these are more
easy to understand with the help of statistics, it gives greater clarity and precision to thought and the
psychological research. The method used by psychology is the hypothetical method: through a
hypothesis is experimented and conclusions are drawn, then the process is replicated if necessary. If 100%
The results support the hypothesis; they are General Results. If the majority is correct, they are Results.
Partial results, if the results are true, are only called Existential Results, with which one does not
One can work. In conducting a psychological experiment, the following steps are necessary:
Statistical planning of the research: Locate the sources of information, choose the material.
Pose a study problem. Design the experiment. The model is validated by comparing it with what
it happens in reality. It uses statistical methods known as hypothesis testing or test of
significance. Descriptive statistics are produced. Statistical inference. A consensus is reached about
What do the observations say about the world we observe. The validated model is used to
make decisions or predict future events. A final report is produced with the results of the
study.

Example:

Standardization of psychological tests. Research on professional or vocational interests in

students. Research on work environments (work relationships, work behavior, motivation,
etc.).

Statistics in Research

Statistics is essential to understand the behavior of certain events, which is why it has
played a key role in the research.

Social science research can be qualitative, quantitative, or mixed. Qualitative does not allow
numerical measurement like ideas, philosophy, the symbolic, narrative, etc. On the other hand, in the

Biostatistics

Biostatistics is a branch of statistics that deals with the problems posed within the
life sciences, such as biology, medicine, among others.

EXAMPLE: The application is currently necessary in the fields:

Public health, which includes: epidemiology, nutrition, environmental health, and research in
sanitary services.
Genomics and genetic populations
Medicine
 Ecology
Bioassays

The collaboration of biostatistics has been key in the development of new drugs, in the
understanding of chronic diseases such as cancer and AIDS, and these are some of the thousands of
possible examples. The close relationship of Statistics with the scientific method makes it

Statistical Physics

Statistical physics or statistical mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with determining the

thermodynamic behavior of macroscopic systems based on considerations

microscopic using statistical tools along with mechanical laws. Statistical physics
can describe numerous fields with a stochastic nature (nuclear reactions, systems
biological, chemical, neurological, etc.

Example:

To predict the behavior of a gas, mechanics would require calculating the exact trajectory of each
one of the particles that compose it). Thermodynamics does something radically opposite, it establishes
principles qualitatively different from the mechanical ones to study a series of properties

individual behaviors of particles, focusing instead on averages. From this
