I was recently reading the January/February 2023 issue of \u201cScience Scope\u201d a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.\xa0\xa0In this issue, I read the \u201cInterdisciplinary Ideas\u201d column, written by Kristin Hunter-Thomson.\xa0\xa0She wrote an article entitled, \u201cWhy Should We All Embrace Statistical Thinking?\u201d\xa0\xa0

Statistical thinking is the mindset that we use when doing anything with data.\xa0\xa0The mindset is based on the following three criteria:

1.\xa0\xa0Any work with data involves interconnected processes.

2.\xa0\xa0All processes and data have variability.

3.\xa0\xa0Understanding variability and these processes is key to making sense of data.
