Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Biostatistics

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.
