Hello,

A statistician is a person who work with theoretical and applied statistics.

The skills required to be a statistician are :

  • Critical-thinking skills :

Statisticians use logic and reasoning to identify the strengths and weaknesses of alternative solutions, conclusions, or approaches to problems.

  • Math skills :

Statisticians use statistics, calculus and linear algebra to develop their models and analyses.

  • Problem-solving skills :

Statisticians must develop techniques to overcome problems in data collection and analysis, such as high nonresponse rates, so that they can draw meaningful conclusions.

  • Speaking skills :

Because statisticians often work in teams, they must be able to present statistical information and ideas so that others will understand.

  • Writing skills :

Good writing skills are important for statisticians because they write reports explaining technical matters to persons without their level of statistical expertise.

Best Wishes.
