Abstract
When assessing the role and place of statistics in modern digital society, especially from the standpoint of the requirements for the training of analysts working in a wide variety of spheres of social activity [1], it is difficult to ignore a fairly wide range of discussion issues, among which possible approaches to understanding and quantifying statistical thinking are clearly distinguished. This article invites readers to familiarize themselves and discuss the concepts of “statistical” thinking, its meaning in the modern world.
