Produced by MEI on behalf of OCR © OCR 2013 Statistical problem-solving Statistics is about answering real questions from the real world. It helps to tackle real questions, but it often does not provide a complete answer by itself. Often a statistician works with an expert in the field from the beginning to the end of a project, from experimental design through to interpretation of the results. The statistical problem-solving cycle is a way of guiding you through the process.
