1)     the subject now  has applications in all the sciences

frase nominal                frase verbal

The subject (the=pre-modificadores, subject=nucleo, now=post-modificadores) 

has applications in all the sciences (has applications =nucleo verbal),


Tiempo Verbal= Presente perfecto

2)     Statistical tools not only summarize past data through such indicators as the mean

Statistical     tools not only.        (Frase nominal)

Núcleo          post-modificadores

Summarize     past data through such indicators as the mean (frase verbal)

Nucleo verbal = Summarize    

Tiempo Verbal= Presente

3)     The standard deviation but can predict future events using frequency distribution functions.

The standard deviation (frase nominal)

The= pre modificador,   standard deviation= nucleo

    but can predict future events using frequency distribution functions.(frase verbal)

Branch mathematics dealing with gathering, analyzing, and making inferences from data. Originally associated with government data (e.g., census data), the subject now has applications in all the sciences. Statistical tools not only summarize past data through such indicators as the mean (see mean, median, and mode) and the standard deviation but can predict future events using frequency distribution functions. Statistics provides ways to design efficient experiments that eliminate time-consuming trial and error. Double-blind tests for polls, intelligence and aptitude tests, and medical, biological, and industrial experiments all benefit from statistical methods and theories. The results of all of them serve as predictors of future performance, though reliability varies. See also estimation, hypothesis testing, least squares method, probability theory, regression.
