Origin?
The phrase "statistical literacy" is popular on Google, and it makes sense, but where does it come from, and when? Melchoir 07:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Graph literacy
Graphs as described herein are not distinct from having an understanding of statistics. Graphs form a useful too for trends in statistics but are not a substitute for tabular data; any student who has passed even an elementary statistics course can tell you this. Thus to be literate in reading graphs, presupposes there is literacy in matters of statistics. Consequently literacy in reading graphs is not a topic onto itself but a byproduct of statistical literacy, and therefore not sufficient to merit its own article.

 * Oppose; Graph literacy is an independently notable subset of Statistical literacy and is hence better kept separate. Klbrain (talk) 14:30, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
