Statistical literacy: "understanding the basic language of statistics
(e.g., knowing what statistical terms and symbols mean and being able to
read statistical graphs), and understanding some fundamental ideas of
statistics." GAISE College Report

.

"Statistical literacy is the ability to read and interpret summary
statistics in the everyday media: in graphs, tables, statements, surveys
and studies. Statistical literacy is needed by data consumers students
in non-quantitative majors: majors with no quantitative requirement such
as political science, history, English, primary education, communications,
music, art and philosophy. About 40% of all US college students graduating
in 2003 had non-quantitative majors." By Milo Schield in "Assessing
Statistical Literacy: Take CARE" Ch 11 in Assessment Methods in
Statistical Education, pp. 133-152. Wiley 2010
