Statistics is the science of experimental design and data analysis. People outside the disciplines of Probability and Statistics often confuse the two areas, but in fact they are distinct. Probability provides the theoretical foundation for statistics, but also deals with other topics as well.
Topics normally covered in statistics subjects include the design of experiments, summarising data, testing hypotheses (i.e. statistical inference), and the presentation of results. Some common statistical methods include Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Data Mining.
