Importance of Statistics in Science

Statistics, in my opinion, is nearly as important to science as mathematics is.

Statistics has not only supplied research with methods to analyse data and tools to judge the rationality of studies and outcomes. 

But it has also offered tools for comprehending essential building elements of science. Probability.

It may be said, has provided quantum theory a vocabulary in which to express its idiosyncrasies. 

It is impossible to imagine comparing DNA between species or individuals without concurrently offering a likelihood of similarity. 

Some sciences have profited greatly from statistics 

So that subdisciplines such as biometrics, econometrics, and psychometrics have been developed to focus especially on the challenges and data in their fields.
