K What I Know
Scientific method is the step by step process used to formulate a study and identify possible problems that will later on be solved by conducting researches and experiments to test the hypothesis. If the hypothesis were proven by series of experiments that means that the hypothesis formulated is true, if not then the result of the experiment will serve as the new fact or conclusion. Mean, Median, Mode. Mean is the average of all the numerical data. Median is the middle data or value of the given list of numbers arranged in order. Mode is the most abundant or the most common data or value of the given list. Biostatistics is used to simplify gathered data by using illustrations like graphs and using bars, pictures, pie, or percentage to give a clear, easy to understand, and simplified numerical value of the gathered data. Biostatistics is the combination of Biology and Statistics. It is the application of Statistics to the wide range of topics in Biology. Biostatistics is an important course in medical fields because it helps medical students to come up with a uniform, easy to understand, and useful investigatory project or thesis by following a step by step process. It also develops skills needed by medical students in their field work or future career.

W What To Know
The science of biostatistics encompasses the design of biological experiments, especially in medicine, pharmacy, agriculture and fis hery; the collection, summarization, and analysis of data from those experiments; and the interpretation of, and inference from, the results. A major branch of this is medical biostatistics which is exclusively concerned with medicine and health.

Biostatistical reasoning and modeling were of critical importance to the foundation theories of modern biology. In the early 1900s, after the rediscovery of Mendel's work, the gaps in understanding between genetics and evolutionary Darwinism led to vigorous debate among biometricians, such as Walter Weldon and Karl Pearson, and Mendelians, such as Charles Davenport, William Bateson and Wilhelm Johannsen. By the 1930s, statisticians and models built on statistical reasoning had helped to resolve these differences and to produce the neo-Darwinian modern evolutionary synthesis. is science of the study of the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It is the cornerstone of public health, and informs policy decisions and evidence-based medicine by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive medicine. Epidemiologists help with study design, collection and statistical analysis of data, and interpretation and dissemination of results (including peer review and occasional systematic review). Epidemiology has helped develop methodology used in clinical research, public health studies and, to a lesser extent, basic research in the biological sciences.
