Who invented probability and statistics?

Answer 1

Some of the principal names associated with the invention of probability are Cardano, Fermat, Pascal, Huygens, Laplace, Kolmogorov and von Mises.

Although Al-Khindi used statistical methods in the 5th century BCE, the mixture of data-gathering and mathematical reasoning that we know as statistics today began many centuries later with people like Gauss, Galton, Gosset and Fisher.
