    Biostatistics is the study of collecting, organizing, analyzing, and interpreting data related to life events. It uses both descriptive statistics, which summarizes and presents data, and inferential statistics, which generalizes from samples to populations and determines relationships between variables. Biostatistics is applied in fields like epidemiology, demography, and public health to calculate rates and ratios, collect vital event data, sample populations, understand disease frequencies, interpret results, and determine disease associations.
