The data are subject to uncertainty and their analysis, i.e. extracting knowledge from the data, requires statistical thinking and statistical methods. Thus, the concept of the knowledge society requiring reliable knowledge to be available to all citizens is heavily depending on statistics. This paper is devoted to an overview of the historical development of basic probabilistic and statistical concepts. Such overview is intended to encourage readers to think anew about statistical ideas in the light of their historical development. The paper recalls that any knowledge obtained by statistical methods is highly probable but not absolutely certain. cav_un_auth*0449253 PaKSoM 2022: The Virtual International Conference Path to a Knowledge Society-Managing Risks and Innovation /4./ 20221208 20221209 Virtual RS BB 10000 10100 10103 2024 UTIA-B 10000 10100 10103 4 O 4o 20231122151311.5 UTIA-B BB RVO:67985807 RVO:67985556 https://hdl.handle.net/11104/0342488 S 2023 Soubory v repozitáři: 0571220-a.pdf SCOPUS PUBMED WOS cav_un_epca*0571219 PaKSoM 2022: Proceedings of the 4th Virtual International Conference Path to a Knowledge Society-Managing Risks and Innovation Complex Systems Research Centre and Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts 2023 Niš / Belgrade 497 504 978-86-82602-00-2 Stanković M. 340 Nikolić V. 340
