Definition of Statistics is a body of methods and theory applied to numerical evidence in making inferences in the face of uncertainty.
This definition treats statistics as a separate area of academic endeavor, just like physics, history, or botany. As a dicispline, statistics has advanced rapidly during the twentieth century to become recognized as a branch of mathematics. Partly due to the relative newness of statistics as a subject of study, the word statistics has acquired several meanings.

Statistics (as singular) is a subject of study…
Statistic (as plural) are numerical facts.
