E) Asking for an answer on a forum instead of researching it yourself.
Only B and D are the job of a statistician. A statistician's job is to collect numerical information in the form of data. Often, a statistician can carry out B by applying inferential statistics to the numerical data collected, Basically, a statistician collects numerical data, and statistically analyses it to draw conclusions. Therefore, A and C are not the job of a statistician.
I am not sure I agree with that, Ringlet.
If a statistician is asked for example, to establish if there is any correlation between exercise taken and longevity then he/she would need to decide exactly what data to collect
