Abstract: The objective of this paper is to visualize the world of statistics, particularly for those in fields that do not specialize in mathematics, “The map of statistics”. By providing an overview and understanding of the terminology used in various research studies, the author aim to serve as a guide for the practical use and acquisition of theoretical knowledge in statistics. The field of statistics is divided into five levels according to users: 1) those who use general statistics; 2) those who analyze statistical tests using software; 3) those with a basic understanding of elementary mathematics and probability theory who engage in practical applications; 4) those who have mastered mathematical statistics using advanced mathematics such as calculus and linear algebra and apply statistical theory; and 5) those who research statistics itself using measure theory. By visualizing each level of statistical theory, users can gain an understanding of the essentials of statistics tailored to their purpose, and see how certain concepts are deeply intertwined with mathematical logic as needed.
