How to spell statistician

Statistician is spelled S-T-A-T-I-S-T-I-C-I-A-N.

What it means: A person who collects and studies numerical data.

In a sentence: The statistician counted the stars in the sky for his project. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: statistics, statistical, statistically, data. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Statistician” comes from the word “statistics,” which originally referred to data about the state or government. The suffix “-ian” turns it into ‘a person who works with statistics,’ so a statistician is literally ‘a statistics person.’
