Although term Statistical Thinking seems to be related with whatever we do in name of Statistics, but it has specific meaning which got attention in nineties. This newer meaning was discussed by Snee (1990) and Moor (1990). This manner of thinking was further promoted by the Statistics Division of the American Society for Quality (ASQ) in 1994 when they set a goal to “enable broad application of statistical thinking” see Torback (2001). Although origin of concept of Statistical Thinking has been attributed to field of quality control (which is based on interconnected processes), now it is being used in many areas like medical, market research etc. Especially field of Teaching of Statistics gave more place to this concept.
