The history of statistics in the modern sense dates from the mid-17th century, with the term statistics itself coined in 1749 in German, although there have been changes to the interpretation of the word over time. The development of statistics is intimately connected on the one hand with the development of sovereign states, particularly European states following the Peace of Westphalia (1648); and the other hand with the development of probability theory, which put statistics on a firm theoretical basis; see History of probability.
In early times, the meaning was restricted to information about states, particularly demographics such as population. This was later extended to include all collections of information of all types, and later still it was extended to include the analysis and interpretation of such data. In modern terms, "statistics" means both sets of collected information, as in national accounts and temperature records, and analytical work which requires statistical inference. Statistical activities are often associated with models expressed using probabilities, hence the connection with probability theory. The large requirements of data processing have made statistics a key application of computing; see history of computing hardware. A number of statistical concepts have an important impact on a wide range of sciences. These include the design of experiments and approaches to statistical inference such as Bayesian inference, each of which can be considered to have their own sequence in the development of the ideas underlying modern statistics.

The term statistics originated in the seventeenth Century in Germany. the word statistics is got from the Latin word 'status' which refers to the political state or to the sovereign states. The term has grown with the development of many theoretical theories
Explanation:
- Sir Ronald Fisher who was a Britisher is seen as the father of modern statistics and experimental design. He made a number of valuable contributions population genetics and experimental designs
- Thereafter during the 18th century statistics was used in the method of collecting demographic and economic data by the countries. It was seen as the main application for computing data
- The statistical data was used by scientists in various forms of sciences and theories. People would use the the statistical data and analyze it for collaborating their records and information
