Statistical thinking is a tool for process analysis of phenomena in relatively simple terms, while also providing a level of uncertainty surrounding it.[1] It is worth nothing that "statistical thinking" is not the same as "quantitative literacy", although there is overlap in interpreting numbers and data visualizations.[2]
Statistical thinking relates processes and statistics, and is based on the following principles:
- All work occurs in a system of interconnected processes.
- Variation exists in all processes
- Understanding and reducing variation are keys to success.
