Statistics are not that difficult to produce. in fact many of the formulas in higher physics involve statistical caluculations to determine the likelyhood that an event on the sub-atomic or macro levels will occur. Applied physisists are completely different than Theoretical. Theoretical Physasists deal sole with predictions and statistics to recreate or produce phenomena mathmatically. Therefore, they would be more than qualified to analyize sales data, however, the likelyhood that they have less important things to theorize about is very unlikely. |
Have you taken a stat class? I'm guessing no since they generally aren't required for engineering majors unless you're taking it just to get out of something equally boring (forgot the class I weaseled out of to take a stat class). The math in stat may be incredibly simple but the things you do in stat class and physics are completely different. Any physics major should be able to do anything in any stat class with ease, that's not the case though, the thing is they are just completely different methods and slightly different ways of thinking and looking at things.
