From Yakaboo:
Do you know who started the rather harsh and incorruptible, at first glance, science of statistics? You won't believe it, with the great Shakespeare! However, in his Hamlet, he interpreted it a little differently, calling the court nobility with this word - starting from the word "status". Then Stalin brought "novelty" to the concept of statistics by making the following statement: the death of one person is a tragedy, the death of millions is statistics. A little later, Anatoly Efremovich Novoseltsev, the hero of the film Office Romance, loudly declared to Mimra that without statistics, life is not life, but a kind of languishing... The Americans, who are much more down-to-earth and practical, came up with their own definition of statistics: "If you ate two chickens and your neighbour went to bed on an empty stomach, then according to statistics, you ate one chicken each... In short, if you finally want to understand the peculiarities of statistical science thoroughly, then welcome here - to the pages of this universal teaching and learning tool, which contains a typical programme of the discipline, as well as plans for lectures and independent classes, instructions for studying individual topics, exercises and tasks, assignments for coursework or individual work, and much more.
