It's useless. There is a view in society that applied statistics is statistical data and drawing charts, which is easier to learn than basic sciences such as mathematics, physics and chemistry. In fact, applied statistics should not only learn the theoretical knowledge of probability statistics, but also learn modeling methods, and also train software operation to learn statistical knowledge comprehensively. Drawing has little to do with statistics.

Statistics major aims to cultivate practical and general-purpose talents with strong computer and statistical software application ability, solid foundation of mathematics and foreign languages, solid basic knowledge of economics, certain ability to independently observe, analyze and study social and economic problems, systematic grasp of statistical principles and methods, and the ability to use statistical methods to process and analyze various data.
