Application of Statistics


              Statistics can be used in numerous fields because of its ability to extract meaningful insights from data and assist
              in decision-making. Let us discuss some of the fields where statistics is used.


              Sports
                 • Statistics helps you assess how well players perform, how teams plan their
                games, and the results of matches.
                 • Statistics  gives  data  that  helps  you  make  smart  decisions  about  hiring
                players,  training  them,  performance  monitoring,  preventing  injury,  and
                planning game strategies.
                 • Studying opponents’ strengths and weaknesses to devise better game plans.
                 • The Tokyo 2020 Olympics were postponed due to the developing global
                situation of the Covid-19 pandemic. Statistics revealed that COVID cases sharply increased in Japan during the
                planned period of the Olympics.


                                                  Education
                                                     •    Analysing test scores and grades to evaluate student learning, identify
                                                      areas for improvement, and allocate resources effectively.
                                                     •    Using data to identify gaps in the curriculum and areas where students
                                                      need more support.
                                                     •    Analysing how students and teachers use educational technology for
                                                      future implementations.
                                                     •    Statistics  helps  in  determining  the  average  skills  of  students  in  a
                                                      particular school or grade. This information shows which areas need
                                                      more focus to help improve education strategies.

              Disaster Management
                 • Authorities use statistics in analysing existing risks and alert the citizens   Landslip  Meteorite

                near future.                                                                                    Polluted
                 • The  disaster  management  teams  use  statistics  to  know  about  the   Fire
                population,  and  about  the  services  and  infrastructure  present  in  the
                affected area.                                                                                   Earthqua ke

                 • Statistics are used to study trends in disaster occurrence and impact to
                adapt strategies over time.                                           Thunderstorm

                                                         •  Statistical summaries create easy-to-understand weather forecasts
                                                        for the public.
                                                         •  Statistics compare the weather conditions with information about
                                                        past seasons and conditions.
                                                         •  Statistical methods are used to analyse long-term climate data and
                                                        detect trends related to global warming and climate change.
                                                         •  Statistics are used to predict the future based on data from the past
                                                        and provide forecasts that express the likelihood of various weather
                                                        events (e.g., “There is a 70% chance of rain tomorrow”).
