Abstract: 

All sectors of society must have a basic knowledge of statistically sound concepts in order to make optimal use of research data and statistically significant information. The encouragement of statistical thinking can be facilitated through the federal statistical system, schools and universities and the media. Lastly, professional statisticians must strive to elucidate the whole statistical process whenever an appropriate oppourtunity arises.
