 “Better data. Better lives”

Importance of World Statistics Day 2015

Official statistics help decision makers develop informed policies that impact millions of people. Improved data sources, sound statistical methods, new technologies and strengthened statistical systems enable better decisions that eventually result in better lives for all of us. On 20 October 2015, the global statistical community will showcase their achievements and their ongoing work to help this vision come true.

World Statistics Day 2015 Venue & Facts:

The first World Statistics Day was commemorated on 20 October 2010 in over 130 countries and areas. World Statistics Day 2015 will be celebrated globally with local events organized by national statistical offices, statistical organizations, UN organizations and universities.
The second World Statistics Day will take place on 20 October 2015, exactly 5 years after the first World Statistics Day. The event, which will be coordinated by the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD), will operate under the theme, “Statistics for better decision-making—statistics for better development.”

World Statistics Day 2015 Details

UNSD is calling on countries, regional and supranational organizations, thematic-oriented institutions, and government and nongovernmental organizations to join this global celebration of official statistics.

Each participating country and organization can design its celebration and create materials that fit best within its national identify and relate its ideas to the main theme for World Statistics Day and the materials that will be created and disseminated to countries by the UNSD. Among these promotional materials will be posters, pamphlets and handouts. The division also will provide assistance—where possible—with publicity, the organization of seminars and workshops and participation in special events.

The objective of the event is to bringing the importance of official statistics to the attention of policy decisionmakers at the highest levels of national governments and to the public.

what is statistics? Several informal definitions are offered in the book A Career in Statistics: Beyond the Numbers by Gerald Hahn and Necip Doganaksoy:

The science of learning from (or making sense out of) data
The theory and methods of extracting information from observational data for solving real-world problems
The science of uncertainty
The quintessential interdisciplinary science
The art of telling a story with [numerical] data
