Abstract

How did the ancient Babylonians feed their people? How did Florence Nightingale transform nursing? How did the allies make D-Day a success? How do you know that smoking may kill you? The answers are all "by using statistics". To accompany the timeline overleaf we present a selection of great statistical landmarks of the past - moments when statistics changed history. © 2013 The Royal Statistical Society.
