Hello Arjya,

Basically vocational studies are those having direct application to the day to day conduct of a specific occupation.  As per your question statistics is a branch of mathematics dealing with data collection , organization, analysis, interpretation and presentation. Applying statistics also deals with industrial and social problems. That is why statistics obviously a technical subject as well as vocational.

Hope it will be helpful for you.

Thank you.

Vocational subjects are those subject which provide skills useful for a particular job. Vocational courses gives you skills and competency for a particular job.

Recently B.Voc courses has been started which offers training in various subjects. Buisness statistics is one of the subject though under B.Voc course.

So you can say statistics is a vocational subject.

It is an academic subject also as traditional bachelor courses in of statistics are there similaly you can do post graduation in statistics.

So if you study the statistics subject as a technical course such as diploma, certificate courses then it will be considered as vocational subject.

If you study subject in detail like M.Sc. statistics then it will be considered as academic subject.
