Biostatistics is concern with statistical data relating to living organisms that answer research questions in medicine, biology and public health.

Moreover, it is a tool that gives us answers on things that are uncertain such as how a new drug works, what causes cancer and other diseases, and how long a person with a certain illness is likely to survive.
