Presentation Transcript

  1. Biostatistics • Statistics is the collection, processing, interpretation and presentation of numerical information. Biostatistics is the application of statistics to questions about human health. Because the factors that affect human health are various, biostatistics is an umbrella term that encompasses statistical research in several subject matter areas. These areas include pharmacology, medicine, biotechnology, biology, genetics, and public health.

  2. Science • Systematized knowledge derived from observation, study and experimentation carried on in order to determine the nature or principles of what is being studied.
