English-Arabic dictionary of statistical terms

The majority of the terms were taken from the following site:
http://www.dicts.info/terminology/dict.php?l1=english&l2=arabic&field=statistics
More words were then added and engineer Bashayer Grouf double checked the translations and also
edited it. Any questions/remarks or anything else should be addressed to her.
