Statistics is only taught in college and even then, it's only required for certain degrees. I suspect that the true number of Americans who understand statistics is much lower than this study suggests.

I took statistics in high school, so your assertion may be regional.

Dont worry, in future AI will do statistics because chatGPT is 86,43% better than any human doing it.
